Headed there now from mission valley amc, want a beer?

Damn. Should have checked before I left work.

Need a report on Societe and PP festbiers.

Need a report on Societe and PP festbiers.

Thinking of heading over to O'Brien's today for some leftover wet hops beers. I was planning on checking out Societe and that Circle9 that just opened up. Will report back, but going to guess that a certain pedal-power person on here has already drank his weight and can provide a better report than I will be able to.

Echoic Memory and Hillogrif were both solid. They also have Perfect Talon available for pours:

Has anyone like me completely lost track of new MT beer names? I have no idea what you guys are talking about....

 

[SerenityNow]

I had forgotten how much I really do miss OG Nelson.

No you didn't #NeverForget

Initial reaction: pps marzen is tasty. Has that light sweetness at the end. Really true to style.

 

[Phischy1]

Sorry man we left by about 330, trust me you would have seen us...

That Maple Vanilla was delicious.

Hit up Alesmith for a bit before heading back towards town.

You SD'ians are lucky...

This is why I find almost all TX beer forgettable. It's not bad...it's just so average.

Ended up at Gordon Biersch yesterday for festbier, zwickelbier, and schwartzbier. $12 for three pints, gotta love their Sunday happy hour.

Roll call for Zwanze?

This is my first since the Toro mishap. What should I expect? Bottles poppin'?

Will be there. I don't remember if popping bottles was allowed....but if so I might bring a couple lambic with me. Because there obviously won't be enough already there flowing. =P

 

[Original Fake]

I'll be there. And I think I remember people opening bottles last year but I could be just mixing that up with the bottles they had for ons-site consumption.

 

[rcubed1]

The one and only time I went to Bagby for Zwanze there were some bottles being popped. I remember stawn brought a good one.

Stone announced that this year's AHA Rally will be on November 11th. So it looks like I have a potentially busy day of events.

They must have missed the Woodshop memo.

That's an awfully dark "IPA"

 

[rcubed1]

IPA has really lost its meaning over the last few years.

Does anyone know when/if Mikkler vikings club will be open again? Really have been loving all the stuff I have had from them this year and don't have any non sour beer memberships.

It's like the old 'lol April Fools!' beer releases from back then are reality now.

So ******* true, and sad. West coast IPA is still king in my book.

It was open for anyone to sign up as a tier-1 up until recently at a discounted rate since it wouldn't be for the full year.

Enrollment / renewals come up in late April / early May.

Nice, I like the ones that aren't calendar year. Everything coming up for renewal at once sucks.

Awesome, I can go back to hating Toolbox again

Was it actually a discounted rate, though? I thought it was the same $200. Much less of a deal, obviously, but they at least offered.

Hmmm, I thought it was discounted....maybe it was full price because it was right before the first set of bottles was released.
