A friendly place for friends who drink

WTF. Why brew it if you can't sell it at home. That's craziness.

LA was a recipient of such a gift last year. Southern Prohibition brewed a barleywine (Barley Legal) that was supposed to come in right at the MS limit (10.5% IIRC). They overshot by a little (~11.2ish I think), so they couldn't sell it in state.

Floccers choose not to distribute here. Initially anyways.

I...what. Ummm. That's stupid.

Yep, caused an uproar. Some bottles may or may not of had come up our way though.

 

[1977Brewer]

Yeah, TX certainly doesn't make it easy for breweries to enter the market. Despite that, we've been getting a lot of new distribution the past few years, though.

For sure. I don't make it into the good bottle shop often enough, but there's a new label in there every time.

Cheers!

I knew brewery work was real work. There has to be a downside. I guess one could surmise that free beer might outweigh that. I'm too old for that crap.

I'm glad I'm doing this now and not later. Most of the jobs there arent near as painstaking as mine is. I'm bottom of the totem pole though and i expected exactly this. Not surprised its tough. Still pretty fun working around everything else.

So...they're sending beer to Korea, but can't throw some TX way? Tallgrass is dead to me now. Dead to me, I say!

This is exactly what my supervisor said haha. Probably cost less to enter the market and will have less competition. Also shipped to the Caribbean before. Trying for more countries as well.

Hmm. So, Korea gets Vanilla Bean Buff but NW Arkansas gets none. I see how it is.

Idk, maybe they are paying $100 a case haha.

I'll join you @finsfan

Oh damn ABV limits.

I bet Prairie runs into this all the time. OK beer laws make TX look like...another place.

Id already retire if that was true. You cant deny the greatness of that beer Billy!

New beer alert! Tried this at the Taphouse on Friday and it was amazing, but didn't have the caramel or salt additions in the version i tried. Cant wait to try it, cans were delivered today.

Second pint still has some floaters and yeast from the keg. Really got to slow down when I rack to keg.

Paint strainer on your racking cane. Zero floaties.

Still a gorgeous beer brother.

I was gonna hit you up when things settle down a little. I need that mosaic from community! Ill save some of that for you and we can work something out.

Yes. I want lots more of this.

I knocked the cinnamon when it was announced but damn its good! Vacation would be cheaper than shipping.

It's tricks like that I do not stop and utilize when I know better...

Yea this stuff is not going to last.

The cinnamon works just as well as I thought it would. This and VBBS are definitely the best two I've ever had from the Korean National Beer Company.
