This aint gonna mean much to many people, but it is a personal whale that I found hiding at Goodwill this past weekend in New Braunfels, TX....





Darkside Fermentation was open from 2010-2012 in San Marcos, Texas in The Root Cellar restaurant (as their house brewer).... it was the first brewery I know of in the state that focused on more on belgian styles and sour beers. Unlike many breweries at the time, he was working under a brewpub license and released bottles semi-frequently in corked and caged bottles. It was one of the most unique breweries I ever went to at the time and I never grabbed this glass when I had the chance. This was all pre-Jester King.

Unfortunately the brewer (from what I've heard from other brewers) eventually went sorta crazy and got obsessed with living completely off-the-grid and hasn't been seen by anyone I know in years. He was supposedly planning to open the first sustainable brewery that used solar power and only plants grown on property.

Bottles still float around at bottle shares (I've since drank all mine) and I will literally chug whatever is in my glass to have some more.
 
What're you using to get a black etch on those glasses?

Our local bottle share group has been grousing for some custom glasses for a while.
Acrylic paint and oven baking. Got white and black, going to mess around with a couple simpler designs before I take on the mighty Charizard.

Speaking of those sour ales, Captain Lawrence has expanded its operation into the space next door, and that’s home to what Scott is alliteratively calling the Fermento Funk Factory. (Note: No branding experts or focus groups were involved in the coining of the Fermento Funk Factory name.) The Fermento Funk Factory is mission control for one of the more unique local brewing initiatives around: five different sour ales made with five different fruits grown at five different Hudson Valley farms. Aged in oak, the beers will be ready for consumption next year. It’s early in the process for what will be known as Hudson Valley Sour Ales, but Scott says one of the farms is Stone Barns, which contributes black raspberries for a special sour.
