Mosaic hops (well hops in general) are highly variable from season to season, from grower to grower, and from region to region. Its not unfounded that a beer, particularly a SMaSH beer would be pretty far ranging in flavor. A lot of brewers are going away from listing a beer's hops and just noting the characteristics overall. 

Don't buy aged beer.

Celis raspberry didnt used to be pink did it? I remember it being golden. But I've done a lot of beer since then, so i could be misremembering.

Always pink

Whitestone has a Macallan aged Doppelbock right now and it's fucking delicious.

Word up, drank the heck out of that Friday night when I was there to hear the live music.  Really delicious.

Had some the other day and I agree. Perfect for the warmer days. I'm keeping an eye out for some cans.


Thirded. Enjoying one now on the front porch since the sun is finally back out and it’s not stupid cold.

Moved on to this one, really like it. Had never heard of the brewery before. Coconut flavor is subtle but noticeable and works well.

Yellow Rose, or any other IPA, the fresher the better.   Talking 2 weeks or less if you can.  YR doesn't really age well.  And the inconsistency I've seen has been more in the nose of the beer.  I can't tell if it's poor QC on the brewhouse's part, or if the hops are just differing throughout the year.  I can't imagine it's easy trying to procure quality hops year round with the same alphas from the same region, etc.

I just thought it was weird that central market had the $17.50 price point vs heb’s $23

Update still 18.75

Went to Back Pew in Houston on Saturday.  Had a great time.  They had a helluva selection on tap that day, more than 20 I would guess.   The 4-5 I had were all pretty decent.  They had some funky ones though that were quirky and interesting but would not be able to finish a six pack of.  One with rye, one with rice, a bourbon barrel stout with coconut cream pie.  That last one was way too sweet for my tastes.

I really like these guys. And getting it from Reno canned in 4 days is always impressive.

Four Corners here in Dallas. The Luna Sol or whatever is great

Peticolas will be distributing in Austin for the first time in July. But only in July.

Still on tap only?

On shelves at target, warm.

Anyone try the new Shiner Sea Salt and Lime?  Sounds like a good hot summer day beer.

Edited by Hook1997

So they made a Gose?

TBH, i've been kinda wanting to try their summer sampler pack, but i know that everything will taste a little bit off from a good brewery. Mango kolsch sounds fucking good in theory though. Let us know when one of you inevitably buys it how average it is. TIA

Generally favor ambers and Vienna style lagers, but I’ve been on a porter kick lately. Some great ones as of late:

 

OHB Vanilla

512 Pecan (well, been a fav for a while now)

 

And this new discovery if you ever find yourself in the Carolinas.

And on the amber side, St Arnold Spring Bock is a recent fav

You should try Hops & Grain Porter Culture if you haven't already.

I rarely see it in HEB anymore when it's open. They're brewing all these new IPAs instead. But I enjoy those too.
Someone brought over La Frontera from BBB the other day, definitely getting another 6-er of that.  
And for you, [mention=882]nivek3[/mention], Yellow Rose is straight Mosaic and Pilsen hops.  I don't get the grapefruit much at all, just a damn good SMaSH IPA.  Unless you're saying you were getting Grapefruited while drinking the beer, then my hats off to you. 
I don't get grapefruit either, more of an orangy/pineapple, but definitely more sweet than bitter. These juicy style IPAs have officially won me over; I almost have to force myself to order anything else these days.

Agree about the YR consistency issues mentioned by others. I've had a couple of bottles that were decent but not mind blowing. I've had a couple of others that I could be convinced were the GOAT.

Brazos Valley High Noon at BB Rovers. Not as good as Willin' or Lost Highway but still pretty good. Would have been better if it'd been a couple or three degrees cooler. This seems to be a recurring problem at Rovers.

I remember it having a pinkish tone but not as dark as it looks in that picture.  But I didn't drink much of the raspberry back then and when I did it was likely from the bottle.  I haven't had one of the revivals yet.

 

It was pretty pink.  Most folks weren't drinking pints, they were drinking bottles.  And my friends and I were typically mixing it with Grand Cru to make CruBerry.

I think it’s funny how many of those do indeed sound exactly like what some of these beers would be named.

Welp, for anyone interested, Decker Lake supermarket has 12s of Devils Backbone for 8.99 until they figure out they fucked up. Ran in on the way home from golf, had them price check it because honestly Saturday morning me didn’t want it to be true.

Edited by Hank_Hill

Dang.  Now that's a freaking steal.  I really love that beer.

Backbone is a easy way to get fucked up.  Drink with caution.  I actually like it blended with hans pils.

Well, it’s easy to find KBS in ABQ.

Had Backwoods Bastard bombers (I guess that is year round now) too.

There's a NEW Mexico????
My wife's relatives get that as a serious question when they tell people they're from there.

Phat, do you know what time teams will have crawfish ready today? Is it right when you open at 11?

 

Gotta coordinate nap time for the little ones.

How much were bombers?

i can’t say with any real certainty. all the teams are kind of on their own schedules. most have already been out here a couple hours though, so i would think some crawfish should be ready to go.

I don’t remember for sure, but I wanna say about $12-13.


Afraid of that. Founders bombers pricing sucks compared to the 4 packs.

At the Art Car parade earlier and one of the guys behind me said 'Oh, that must be the Burger King car' when the St. Arnold's Prius drive by. What a dumbass.

That it does. ~$20 for a Bomber of KBS or a 4 pack for ~$22. Hmmmm.
