If folks are willing to buy and drink IPAs at Live Oak, then more power to them.  Certainly not the direction I'd go, but it takes all kinds I suppose.

I had a stellar Brut IPA yesterday.  I like this IPA trend a lot.

Usual Austin trip Sunday tradition: hit up Jester King right when they open for a few tasters and scenery before heading out of town.

Hmmm....good thinking. Gotta break in this new kitchen.

Tried out Whitestone in cedar park for the first time today. The standard offerings are decent and the taproom is worth a visit if you are out that way. Nothing worth a special trip though. I did like the melted snowman winter ale more that the online reviews give it credit for. They have some at the brewery that is bourbon barrel aged. Only really mentioning it because I know we have quite a few north Austin/norther burbs folk on here.

Try any Three Magnets Brew if you happen see one (Olympia WA).  I keep being impressed.

I've liked pretty much everything I've tried at Whitestone, but haven't loved anything.  Still, it's a good option for local craft beer in the CP.  They also have some interesting live music on many weekends.  My friend's 80s hair metal cover band plays out there about once per month.

I’ve been saying this for two years. Wish they would hurry up and get distributed to Boise figured out.

Hahaha this is amazing. Which one of you dipshits is Bill Metzger?

 

For being two of my favorite breweries in town, SH being top class bitter beer knowers, and Zilker riding high off of 3rd Space NEIPA, i thought FWB 1 was kinda average. Someone tell me I need to spend the money on this new version ASAP.

Just noticed FWB2 is in 12oz six packs this time instead of 16oz cans. Much better for committing to a blind purchase IMO.

Not that it really affects Texas, but Bridgeport Brewing in Portland announced it is shutting down today. Oldest brewery in Portland and founded in 1984.

I prefer LO Pilz because I prefer Czech pilsners over German, but Gold is my #2 no doubt.

 

that is not changing my mind. in fact, GO FUCK YOURSELF

Also, forgot to mention that I saw on twitter this week that 21st Amendment is finally coming to TX. I fuck with watermelon wheat.

I don't think I have bought anything from them since they dropped Toaster Pastry, those bastards.

Also prefer Czech. 

Picked up FWB2 but probably won’t try it until the weekend. Gold Fist sixer for $9.99 seems like a good deal.

BridgePort had seen slumping sales since their peak in 2011. By 2017, BridgePort fell from the state’s fifth largest brewery by volume, to the twenty-fourth largest brewery.

Bridgeport was so cool back in the aughts.  Lots of old memories of hanging with friends at the brick stack brewery enjoying Bridgeport IPA and pizza.  That was also when the Pearl District was still cobble roads, machinist operations, and dog chow warehouses.  And it's been about that long since I last had a Bridgeport brew.  The land alone that the brewery is sitting on - smack in the middle of new gleaming high rise living - is worth a serious chunk of change today.  Good timing to sell right now.

American Solera got their license to distribute to Texas. This news pleases me.

Looks like Craft Brewers Guild and Beer Alliance of Texas reached a compromise. We’re getting to go sales with daily limits.

 

 

 

FWB2 is a banger. Its definitely not as round as i like my NEIPAs, but its juicy as fuck and it certainly tastes like a southern heights interpretation of what they think a hazy IPA should be.

First time at the new location, agree with earlier comments. It's nice but soulless

Oh well 20 min wait to get in for younger6e81e46006bd352526a8f693bc77e0f8.jpg40de9511625875afa8420fcd3d7a2b29.jpg

Godfathers of IPA as well.

Not suprised.  Their rebranding was garbage.

It’s awful. And they spent 3.5 million on new facility.

Wife and I hit up the Brewer's Table last night for VDay on East 5th and enjoyed it pretty well. Lagercentric but their beer was pretty decent. Nice space outside as well with a bar out there.

Hey y'all - thanks to work I have two straight weekends away from home.

The first is in Atlanta (probably going to New Realm) and the second is in Burlington, VT (definitely checking out Magic Hat).

If y'all know some fun breweries in either city, I'd love to see what's up.

Finally happened across some Ghost in the Machine. Without a doubt the best IPA in the world.

Is real ale moonwalk brut ipa a good example of a brut? I ask because while I liked it, it didn't seem significantly different enough to warrant a new style name.  If it didn't say "brut" on the bottle, I'd think it was just a crisp and easy drinkin ipa.
