August 13, 20196 yr There’s a Des Moines brewery (Barntown) that makes it for the state fair. I love pickles, and I love beer, but fuck this.
August 13, 20196 yr Just wanted to say that I was at the Bold Republic brew pub in Belton, Texas, had their sampler, and the beers are righteous. Food was very good, too.

Way better than the alco-pop stuff to me, as it isn't nearly as sweet. Most of it just tastes like seltzer waters, which I'm pretty well hooked on. I've come to welcome Natty Light as a tailgate beer. For one, it's the ISU way. Two, it's cheap. Three, I can drink them all day and not be a mess. Its nice that your wife doesn't care that your gay. JK, of course. I get that seltzer is popular, just not really something I enjoy. What gets me is that they are doing these things under beer brands (Natty Light Seltzer; Bud Light Tea), just make them their own product. As for tailgating, I can enjoy cheap low alcohol stuff for day long drinking, but I always mix in some good local craft beer, usually 5% or less.

Natty and Bud are clearly trading on their brand name to help push their product. And in all honesty, I don't think selling seltzer crap is any more damaging to their brands than the normal crap beer they sell. It all sucks. Arguably, the seltzer stuff tastes better than their normal beer products. Just my opinion anyway.

Yeah, I usually start with a couple of good beers and then shift over after 2-3 craft beers.

August 14, 20196 yr My wife loves true love. That’s from them right? Just like your mom loves my true love. Anybody had these guys yet?
August 14, 20196 yr My wife loves true love. That’s from them right? Just like your mom loves my true love. [/img]‘Tis. They do good stuff, it’s just that it’s mixed in with a lot of weird stuff. I saw this the other day as well. Their barrel aged stouts are great, as well as the gose, sours, and I really like the El Chuco guava/agave one.
August 15, 20196 yr Martin House is def. in the top 10% of breweries in Texas. Not sure whether that is saying anything or not, though
August 16, 20196 yr Haven’t followed this thread regularly but just wanted to post that Karbach Light Circus Hazy IPA is finomenal.
August 17, 20196 yr Thank you HenryJames for keeping us updated on the great pickle beer run of 2k19.
August 17, 20196 yr I checked my local Kroger but they had none. Really only want to try a single. They did have this though. Regular one is great so this should be too.
August 17, 20196 yr Yeah that doesn’t do anything for me either. That said I do like some of their beers.
August 18, 20196 yr It’s been hours. I need an update! Does mueller HEB still have pickle beer? Is it even open?
August 18, 20196 yr Saftig (flagship NE IPA) on the left and All Bees Considered (IPA with local honey) on the right. Delicious
August 18, 20196 yr I remember when i had that pickle beer almost 4 years ago back when it was called PKL FKR next thing you know, people are gonna start hyping up BA stouts or hazy ipas

There are a fuck ton of Texas breweries I dislike more than martin house Martin House actually has 7-10 pretty damn good beers

I’m not a fan of their mad scientist approach, but it’s all good.

August 19, 20196 yr I've had some different Tequila barrel beers and I just don't like them. I really did try though.I won’t lie it wasn’t as good as I had hoped. I really enjoy the regular El Chuco though.
