Benediktiner Festbier. 5.8% abv. Specs had all their remaining Oktoberfest inventory on a rack so I grabbed this. I usually prefer the darker Oktoberfests, but this is pretty good

Sherman Bock, 903. 7.1%

Great beer with higher gravity to really hit help you cope with mediocre Texas football only to have them sneak out a win when your a 6 pack deep

I’ll be in Little Rock for a conference this week, any brewery recs from the group? 
 

Google seems to provide a great local brewery scene. I’m excited to try some new stuff.

A couple of hoppy bitches from New Belgium multipack.  Never thought I'd be sayin that... or giving a flying fuck about the Garden State.  Grandkids change things.  Can't wait to get back!!!

I'm just kidding of course.  People should drink whatever they want whenever they want.

Phoenix hotel special. Four Peaks Desert Daydream “hazy ipa”. A wheat beer that is doing its best ipa impression? I can’t really tell. I wasn’t sure I liked it but then after the second one I knew for sure I did. Interesting brew.

Some thoughts from the Utah hotel bar. Every single tap was a “craft”, save the Wasatch which is under the Monster umbrella. And curiously, all at 5% or less. It’s an Utah thing.  So of course I did the right thing and bought a tasty hazy in a can which has no such limits.

I enjoy learning about the oddities of various state alcohol laws, but yes it really threw me off when I visited a brewery in Park City and everything was right at 5% abv, whether an IPA or stout. The Zion Curtain at bars was a real head trip also.

Coors Banquet a great choice. The stubbies are elite for a Macro. I always forget about them.

The new banquet courtesy of my friendly neighborhood brewery, Vector Brewing in Dallas:

Vector is great. Been there once and really enjoyed the beers, food, and vibes.

Does it have to be available nationwide to be a macro lager?

If so, Coors Banquet.

If not, Grain Belt Premium.

#1000

Yuengling is my favorite macro, especially when it is properly priced as a cheapo on the east coast.
