November 14, 20223 yr I remember going to an investors' meeting for a potential new Austin brewery sometime around 2009, and at the time there were known expansion plans for 10 new breweries over the next 2-3 years. We thought that sounded like a lot...
November 15, 20223 yr 3 hours ago, Incredulity said: so what is the industry down to then? 10,000 breweries? Around 4000 in the US?
November 15, 20223 yr Around 4000 in the US?I vaguely remember reading that if we had as many breweries per capita as we did in the late 1700s, we’d have 6,000 nationwide. However, we don’t have nearly the drinking culture we did then.

I’ve been really surprised by some of their rotating stuff and the mainstays are as solid as I could’ve hoped. Also was not expecting this kind of property out here:
November 22, 20223 yr Austin Beerworks is doing a thing, I don’t fully understand it. https://beerworksforlife.com/
November 22, 20223 yr Location is….. something used to volunteer at a few churches/homeless shelters in that area back in college
November 27, 20223 yr Anyone seen any Primus this season? Is it a DEC1 or later release?I’ve already drank about a case of it.

November 28, 20223 yr I was in temple/Belton last night and came up 0-fer. No Primus or even shelf tags at 3 different HEBs. Saw some Big Bark and the Pilsner; hell I would have grabbed some Hefe, had it been in stock, as well. For as much as I love Live Oak, their distribution sucks ass.

Their strategy has always been to sell locally first, and currently they sell just about all they make in that manner. Other Austin breweries attempt to distribute to say... Japan... and then are shocked when they go bankrupt (again) and have to sell off their controlling interest in the company (again). Edited November 28, 20223 yr by utee94
December 1, 20223 yr Checked out the Stay Put brewery on Rainey - https://www.stayputbrewery.com/ Their kolsch was easy drinking (5 hours worth) and I appreciated that they did happy hour on Saturday from 2-6p. $5 pints or $8 pint with a shot of one of liquors in the pic (tried them all). Similar to Nickel City where some of the staff previously worked. Not bad for downtown on a weekend. Glad they're local. Tito's girl from RGV was handing out shots and told me how all the women down there hate her b/c she's not fat.

December 19, 20223 yr St. Arnold French Press: an imperial coffee porter that is 9.6% ABV and 100% pure awesome. My favorite coffee porter of all time.

December 28, 20222 yr Closest brewery is Tupps in McKinney. Lots of growler/tap house type places up that way like Union Bear and Thirsty Growler. Edited December 29, 20222 yr by mdmost

But I’d head other direction and go to 3 Nations if you want to go to brewery. It’s also in old downtown Carrollton with some decent places to eat right there too. https://3nationsbrewing.com
