Would like a comment. Those have been shelf turds and I’m wondering why since I haven’t bought one either.

 

Outstanding spin on parabola. Classic parabola nose but taste is tannic with a strong cab-like finish. Its turding because everything is turding these days due to saturation

 

I picked up Barrel Aged Darkness (no limit, were maybe 14 on the shelf) this week (released in april) at a gas station just north of Crosslake, Minnesota. Also saw it at a few other small liquor stores in the northwoods area this week. Crazy what sits around these days

I always expect first runs of bottles like that to move fast, but it is crazy what sits on the shelves now while hazies move like crazy.

I grabbed one just for science last week. Will drink eventually.

Feeling sour, imo

Never had anything from Eel River before now but this is good.

Drank a fair amount of Hell or High Watermelons on the golf course today. Nice session beer to have in Texas. 

Crop Tops. 9% IPA with Citra, Mosaic, and Strata. Collab with Barrel Theory in St Paul.

Found out there was a new brewery in the Dallas metroplex which was having their grand opening today on Father’s Day and decided that was a good excuse to check it out.

Brutal Beerworks in North Richland Hills.

Line out the door when we pulled up (which I was kind of expecting). Smallish venue in a strip mall about 5 minutes away or so from Turning Point. Line moved pretty though and glad we got in before the storms rolled through as some were waiting out in the rain it looked like. Nice but small setup. Very cool logo (which reminds me of Alverado Street’s Vengeful Barbarian can art)

Hazy IPAs were the best with the mosaic and citra hopped Cosmic Slaughter being the winner. Their trio of “dreamscicle” milkshake IPAs (see what I did there) were just OK (though I’m not a big fan or dreamscicles so a dreamscicle IPA is probably never gonna do that much for me). Their two stouts weren’t bad but a little thin for my taste.

Hard to judge a brewery on their first day of operation. Will definitely check out again when they get more up and running...especially if also going to nearby Turning Point.

Speaking of...also used that trip as an excuse to stop by Turning Point. In particular, I wanted to try a pour of their 15.3% barrel aged stout Laser Cannon Deth Sentence...especially since I saw that there were literally lines around the back of the building when it was released in bottles last week (which sounded like a shit show as there were no bottle limits [which I understand will no longer be the case] and so it went incredibly quick in bottles as people were lined up well prior to the brewery’s opening that day and some were apparently buying cases without having tried it). Really, really tasty barrel aged stout that I’m really glad I got to try on draft and also really glad I didn’t wait in a line for (not that I would for almost any beer).

Insufferable beer nerd out.

They need to limit shit like that to 2 per person.  I didn't even bother trying to get any at release but did have it on tap and it's solid.  

I go to Turning Point all the time now to get to beer to go. Still not sure how they actually get away with being a brewpub since they just have food trucks (I guess that is allowed).

I saw a post about Brutal on my NextDoor a few days ago but forgot about it. Looks like they are 2 miles away from me. Neat.

Brash has been doing that for a while.

debuting with 9 beers on what looks like a 10 barrel system? oh, ok.

Its just a category of license. Doesn't have anything to do with food, just a bunch of arbitrary caps and laws that benefit the wholesalers. As of Sept 1st, it won't matter.

So their FB post stated their beer wasn’t properly carbonated yesterday and they apologized for it.

Also found out that one of the guys is former lead brewer at Martin House.

I had a McConaughey's Pockets (who doesn't want to taste that?) at S Lamar and was quite tasty.  I haven't eaten there but a few times but I'm now fully on board the Pizza Rolls >>> Pizza train at PHP.

I am down in New Braunfels and went to refill my growler (Growlerwerks 128) and the gal at the bar said I need to have a label on it per some new TABC regulation that went into law within the past 6 months.  She said the required label is similar to the warning label on a hard alcohol bottle.  I did a google search and couldn’t find anything about this being required...  anyone point me to this regulation? 

(She still filled my growler but it’s news to me...)

Not a lawdog. Think it’s federal, SG Warning. Had 1 guy at Bunker Hill HEB point it out to me repeatedly, when they were open.

Got this or something similar years ago for a glass growler I always seemed to want filled when he was on shift. Other glass has it printed in the back. My SS growlers have it etched on the bottom.

Good info here. I got the 64 oz Growlerwerks for Father’s Day, so ordered some labels from Amazon.  Looking forward to my first fill. Probably try it out at No Label Brewing Co in Katy. 

Hotel beers, IMO

They advertise hazy, but it’s not. Not even a little bit. However it’s good.

those FVs are 7bbl max, but probably 5bbl.

 

 

edit: looked it up and the brewhouse is 6bbl (brutal beerworks)

I’m on my last night of my annual trip with my German cousin and her family. We go to the beach in France but I’m back in Germany and wanted to just mention that, I love Bier

Is her name Meike by any chance? If so, does she need a pen pal? 

Russian River's newest addition to the -tion series is delicious. Intinction - A Barrel Aged Pils.

Bettina, no pictures. No pen pals.

And no, you can’t come to spa in Sinsheim, or Baden-Baden, with us. Perv  /sarc

It’s her son, my Godson, I mentioned in the Bundesliga thread who is on German National U19 and in Borrusia Moenchengladbach U19 team.

 

oh, and I’m drunk.

Perhaps he's demonstrating his growth as a beer drinker, by showing us all of the various generic and overdone draft IPAs he passed up, in order to consume the superior bottled barrel aged pilsner?

I’m assuming that’s the worlds first corked and caged pils.

Girardin, imo.

How old?  I've got an 10 year-old one of those in by cellar, sitting next to the 9 year-old Cantillon.  

Yall mofos clearly forgot to DRINK the beer.  The point is not to BUY the beer, the point is to DRINK the beer.

Come on, man.

Have had Fremont and 21st Amendment as well on Alaska flights.
