Alaskan Brewing coming to Texas

[RiffMagnum]

You can have it - once the initial excitement is over you will see they do not make THAT great of a beer. Sales plummeted in Wisconsin after the 1st month!

Yeah, i've bought several sixers in the past few weeks and they get a big "meh." Not horrible, just nothing i'd wanna buy again. Of course they might have some seasonal/specialty brews that are worth trying, but i'm not very impressed so far.

Got a chance to pick up some of the Alaskan Amber here in Houston - Slightly disappointed in that it didn't taste as good as up in Alaska. Not quite sure of the right wording but a little more bland than I remember. Don't know if it has to do with shipping or if their processes changed to grow their capacity.

Still good but not one that would have stuck with me.

Surprisingly, my first beer I just finished a few weeks ago taste a lot like it in some ways - only an alaskan amber made with trappist yeast - interesting combination.

i'm drinking the summer ale (kolsch-style) - excellent!! wish i had 5 more (was one of a pick-your-own 6)

I had that too last week, it's a perfect beer for this time of year. Gave me thoughts about brewing a kolsch soon

I keep meaning to try out the wit. I am really hoping we get the smoked porter as well.

Although kinda on/off topic, I saw at specs in Dallas some Adelbert's bottles are finally making their way up here from Austin.
