Random Beer Thoughts

We're getting it in Texas fo sho. I can't speak for other states.

I'd think if you've been getting their other specialty offerings some would make it there.

EDIT: "bottles will be available for sale in select markets retailing at $10 a bottle"

Not sure what they mean, but Austin IS a "select market". You might wanna fire them off a message on Twitter.

I can go buy a 3 year la folie vert off the shelf at most grocery stores around me, and i wonder if we will get it too. Or is it more limited than the past few years.

If you saw the corked Felix on the shelf this winter, there’s a good chance that store will get it from my understanding.

I went in knowing that this brewery is awful, but I figured I would spin the wheel on my first Brut IPA.

Now I have to find another one, just to see if this style really is this awful, or if Ale Industry just managed to make the worst beer I have had since the last Ale Industry beer I opened.

reviving friday post on a sunday, but Seven Still's caviar dreams is actually a really good brut IPA. Idk how AI still exists.

Man it sure it nice to visit a state and town that actually has 3F and Fantome available on the shelves and not only available at one bar for on-site consumption only.

Actually wait, we don't even get 3F. But the Tomes are only at the Masonry for on-site.

Can someone recommend a good barleywine or old ale that tastes like Leon or Opal from Cigar City?

Feels weird making a serious post but I've got an itch and backwoods bastard isn't scratching it like it usually does.

Leon and Opal are Leon and Opal but have you ticked Straight Jacket and/or Mineshaft Gap from Revolution?

Nah I'll see if I can find them today. I dunno if we get revolution beer here.

Shouldn’t be too terrible of a trade to someone in Rev terriroty, though they are a hair out of season.

I think I still have a couple cans of Straight Jacket. If you want them, they’re yours for a label.

Six year-old Founders Devil Dancer is actually quite enjoyable. It's got a nice cardboard / sherry thing going on. ZFG.

CCB David Humphrey's BA Barleywine is the best they have made since Leon. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Are you in Tampa?

Nah I'm 4 hours south of it. I'll see if they have that next time I'm north.

The THB fanboys/lunatics crying online about not getting tickets to the anniversary parties and why they deserve it for supporting them so much has been keeping me entertained today.

BA and facebook groups that I'm too lazy to screen shot. I did copy this genius idea though...


"Adam Mitchell I like my idea best- have everyone send in a photo of themselves and the TH employees pick out all the people they recognize. I’m sure there are lots of people that live 4+ hours away that entered the drawing just because they can. Just seems like events like these should be done to thank the people who have actually supported them consistently."

When I do my book report on entitlement I'll be sure to include this.

I actually wasn't sure who "THB" was in your post, but it being Tree House (which I should have surmised from your location) makes perfect sense given how entitled and fanboyish many of their customers are. The apex of that had to be the incredulity they displayed over Nate's excitement about doing a collaboration beer with Sierra Nevada for the Beer Camp mixed pack- I remember quite a few comments along the lines of "Sierra Nevada should feel privileged to be doing a collaboration with Nate, not the other way round!"

That's amazing. Can you name three people who have done more for American craft beer than Grossman? (I say 3 because Maytag and McAuliffe preceded him and have good arguments for 1 and 2.) Craft beer without Tree House is pretty much exactly the same. Without Sierra Nevada? Unimaginable.

Craft beer without Tree House would have a much clearer future.

I like that de Garde has made it easier for locals access to their parties and actually appreciate it when people who regularly support a business see some sort of perk, but damn those people are salty and entitled.

Jim Koch deserves to be mentioned up there with those guys. Love him or hate him the Boston Beer Company opened up a lot of taste buds to something other than BMC. I know I discovered a lot of styles via their mixed packs.

Michael Jackson and Bert Grant, as well.

I think it was literally suggested that Sierra wanted to collab with Tree House solely to learn Nate's secrets.

My favorite part of this was when multiple people suggested that the lack of a video interview with Nate like the other Beer Camp brewers had on the site simply had to indicate that he was rightly embarrassed about what was released and that he had been somehow duped into putting out such a clear beer.

I haven't heard/read any of that, but it doesn't surprise me at all.
