Otra Vez here.

Had it for the first time in SFO Monday and it was great.

Here in Dallas in cans not so much.

Narwhal for me
 
Had a sixer of that last week. Never disappoints.

You up there for the game tonight?

Watch out for that raider rash...

Just killed my last of these:

This is literally on a farm. Their “sour” is an infected batch of amber. You cant win em all

Picked up a bottle but haven’t opened it yet.

We’ll see how this tech game goes. May need something high alcohol.

Another Reuben's brews selection - this is like the Autumn Harvest Imperial Pumpkin Ale I had last week, but Pumpkin Ale is a level better.  I need to check for a bottle date on this one.  I think it's lost a bit of its original IIPA hoppy heat.

 

Same bottle shop where I got the above, I was surprised to see two of the selections pictured >>> here in the PNW.  Haven't ever tried any of their brews:

If so they are fine but nothing special. It’s the fruited sours that are special.

Is Karbach's 2018 Yule Shoot Your Eye Out their worst offering yet? 
I'd say yes. RIP to one of former favorites. 
The prevailing opinion around here regarding Karbach is 'Fuck those guys'. Just so you're up to speed.

one would have to still be buying their offerings to opine on your question

I threw one in my build-your-own sixer yesterday. It was flavorless.

Anybody know how import beers have done during the craft beer surge? I can't even remember the last import I drank. It's probably been at least 5 years with the exception of a few Mexican beers here and there.

very well

Cracked a bottle of 2015 Deschutes Abyss Reserve last night (the BBA/WBA blend) as a precursor to a heart healthy meal. (28 day dry aged prime strips my dad brought in town, salt & vinegar crispy potatoes, and roasted radishes with lemon brown butter)

Damn tasty beer/evening and a great reminder that I need to work through my “cellar” (aka pantry) stock. 

Went to Boulevard last night. The Beer Hall is nice. Around 40 taps plus another 6 test beers they’re working on.

Got around to trying some Spindletap Hop Gusher this week. Liked it, certainly on the citrusy side though. Also picked up a 4 pack of Tupps  Brewery Full Grown Nick  Holiday Imperial Stout. Very similar to their Pumpkin Ale I had a while back which was good. Pricing still seems to be a bit high for their beers but maybe it just be that way in McKinney.

They make solid IPAs. The rest of their stuff is no bueno.

 

and Ive been saying it for years, but B-52 is one of the best breweries in the state. No one else in Texas can match the range of styles they do, almost all of which are hits. Just wish they werent so far away

st elmo does and probably exceeds

The South Plains finally has a half decent brewery

one of my very good friends just moved out to lubbock from austin to start a brewery. poor guy.

but all his beer i've had of his has been pretty great, plus he's pretty QC/marketing savvy. I'd imagine it being like a southern heights out west.

this is false

this is false

Which part?

I like all of their beers but don’t think the basic offerings are worth the tariff.

JKs fruited sours are excellent, but if you're missing out on some of their non-fruit stuff because you think only the fruited/BA shit is "special" then that's kinda dumb.

Le Petit is one of the best beers in Austin. Kollaborationsbier is quality and complex as fuck, especially for a pilsner. I'm not really gonna go through all their menu and tell you how neat JK is, but if you have a chance to grab some JK out of state and you have no plans to come to austin, its worth the 15 bucks for the non-sour stuff.

As for the "tariff", I don't really think any JK fruited sour beer is priced very well but thats subjective. Also, I think Spon is definitely not worth the price and those are highly sought after fruited gueuzes

 

Agreed. Whenever I’ve had SPON via a pour at the brewery I’ve liked it well enough but never been moved to buy a bottle...especially at those prices.

Brash Smashed Hammer Face barrel aged stout

St. Arnold's 2018 Pumpkinator

Had the first on tap and the latter bottled last weekend.  Both were excellent.

Awesome. Rep for Sour Duck happy hour tho. Best in class IMO.

First Primus of the season, imo.

I just unearthed my last 6-pack from last season at the back of the beer fridge.  Looks like I'll be doing a Primus vertical soon.

The food is fucking great, and the beer list is legit.

So good. 

You guys are behind. I've had 4 at scholz Garten before the two basketball games and a sixer at home.

I haven't been reading the beer thread really close.  However, if anyone in the Austin area is seeking the Founder's CBS - Total Wine Lakeline has several.

Happy to see Brown Shugga again just as the weather is getting really cold.

Yeah my shitty beer selection at 620/O’Connor has had a few cases of cbs sitting out for a while. Did they just do some huge release or something?

 

All of the Founders beers have been much easier to find these days. I saw some CBS last weekend, but passed. It's a great beer, obviously, but I think I'm going to slow down on purchasing $25 bombers.

  • Author

Yep. I can go to HEB (when it’s open) and get three sixers for about $25.

CBS is languishing on shelves at Whole Foods and Craft Beer Cellar at $28.

At least 3 full cases at WF and a similar amount at CBC.

I passed too.

Just way too much great beer to be bought at much lower prices these days.  

I buy pretty much local to wherever I am.  Of course part of that's because where I live, there's plenty of great local beer.  But that's becoming more common no matter where you are these days.

When I travel, I'm all about the local breweries in those areas.  So much great stuff out there, all over.  We live in good times, my friends.  Good times.
