You Austin guys rule, that is all. Thanks for all your help. Now looking forward to a pint of yellow rose to complete this business trip!

according to the arbor walk beer dude, brodie and arbor walk got at least 60 cases apiece and AW was letting ppl buy a case. He claimed that they were the only 2 stores getting that much, but of course, may not be true.

was told by a source inside twins that they are getting their allotment this friday, and specs guy also said they were getting more this week sometime but wasnt sure when. I also think he was talking variants, didnt say how many of what.

I don't know why you're torturing yourself with Atwater....

Their beer sucks a golfball through a garden hose.

Bishops Barrel 12 looks awesome. I guess I'll be buying a Bishops Barrel beer for the first time since 5.

Ya I haven't bothered with the past few but I think BB2 was my favorite of all so I will definitely hunt this one down...

Gonna be in Austin just for the night. You guys have any recommendations for places to go with good food/beer where I can easily watch the Louisville-Michigan State game?

Also, should I stop in Magnolia on the way to pick up Yellow Rose or should I be able to find it easily in Austin?

I would check with Whichcraft or East 1st Grocery to see if they still have some Yellow Rose. I know Whichcraft got some in a week ago and East 1st earlier in November.

Bb rovers on the north side of town should have the game on. They have good beer and food.

Ha, did you stop in Magnolia? There's not much out there. Most HEBs on the North side of Houston are pretty flush with YR however.

Yeah I realized I'd be good just stopping in Houston. I was able to pick some up at d&q.

Please Always Tweet! I don't go looking if I don't see tweets. I try avoid the pit of **** that is I-35 near Downtown as much as possible.
Also you should tweet each time fresh A Pale Mosaic drops in-- I see way too much stuff from mid-October around (too old for my trading partners), but know there's a late November canning

Heading to Austin Wed-Sun for a conference and would love to hit up Jester King on Saturday. Is Uber a viable option to get from downtown to the brewery? I know the brewery is a bit of a hike from downtown, but I won't have a car.

I bet one of these ATX boys would be willing to haul you out there for a couple mouth hugs.

if you have money, taxis and uber is always an option id guess. But JK is out a bit in the "boonies". although with so many austin guys and gals who go nearly every weekend, i cant imagine someone wouldnt be open to a new friend. Hell, thats how i met a friend, which at the time we didnt know we actually had about 10 mutual friends. lol metal and beer friends forever!

 

[Lutter]

Uber to Jester King... YES!

From Jester King... uhhhh.... it's real far from the city, heh.

Yeah, I was at Specs Brodie over the weekend and they still had at least 9 cases sitting out. So I grabbed a couple of more bottles.

Looks like the Barleywine and Coffee variants are starting to come out. Got some at HEB Mueller.

I heard 1-7 this Sunday at ABW with doughnuts and t-shirts and such. Sounds similar to last year but I've never been...going to try to make it this year.

 

[blatherbeard1]

dammit, this release is always when i already got plans!!

If you don't mind getting raped a little... South Lamar wine and spirits has been letting out a few nice bottles. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think they're charging roughly 150% of the normal price for the rare stuff.
