The TEXAS thread!

[ExPimp]

Hey Austin, in town for a conference through Friday and beermenus has no sightings of Yellow Rose. Hoping to land a bottle, staying next to convention center, but can cab within reason. If any recent shelf sightings i'd love a little help. And would buy you a beer at BangersThursday night if you're out. Cheers!

I'm off on a Friday for once, so I might take you up on that offer, barring any plans the wife already made for us...

 

[East1stgrocery]

East1stgrocery can you hook this man up?

Either way, flabbyjandro hit up Sam at E1G... they'll have most of the beer you're looking for and are near downtown. (it's prolly less than 2 miles from the convention center area).

Banger's or Craft Pride on Rainey should have it on tap.

Absolutely! (getting fresh YellowRose tomorrow around Noon)

Yes, it is awesome in cans. They purposely ship/deliver the 6-packs upside down so the yeast settles to the top of the can, and then when you open it, the yeast distributes back into the beer. Not that the cans will last in my fridge long enough for yeast to settle. Let me know when you want some cans!

MVP protip. The cans have made their way out to Houston and they're delicious.

They tweeted out that they shipped Houston something like 1100 cases.

******* stoners could have been making millions for years! lol.

Hey I'm around the DFW area. Best place to drink sours in the DFW?

Planning on going to collective brewing project, they said they'll have Petite Golden Sour on tap tomorrow. Anybody feel like grabbing a beer?

Also: any Live Oak in the area?
And does anywhere still have bottles of the PGS?

First Cantillon bottle was approved today for sale in TX... Brouscella Grand Cru. 3 more currently in process. (I'm guessing Zwanze 15, Classic, Kriek?)

Thats fantastic. Maybe the previously mentioned Zwanze Day will include the new Jester King gueuze as well?

It's still got 6-9mos to carb in bottles, so I think it will happen before the launch of their first spontaneous release.

They have a whole to-do planned for their Zwanze keg to raise the funds to pay back part of the licensing fee.

Guarantee we prolly see Cantillon for sale by the glass at JK within then next month or two.

Then we win at beer.

People of Texas! My plans for this weekend went to ****, so now I have a hotel and rental car booked in Dallas and nothing to do from Friday at 11PM to Monday at 11am local time. I think I might go to Austin, because why the **** not. Suggestions for solid time wasters?

Live Oak's grand opening party is this weekend and Jester King also has weekend hours. Either one would be a good option for a half/whole day.

And don't forget to eat pizza at Stanley's.

 

[boogercrack]

And don't forget to eat pizza at Stanley's.

Hey may die of ole age before the order gets completed tho

 

[air]

Yep, going to Austin is the right answer.

And don't forget to eat pizza at Pieous.

 

[BusinessSloth]

And don't forget to eat pizza at Stanley's.

I skip Stanley's and either go to Ramen TatSuya, or Pieous for pastrami. If dude wants pizza go to Via 313. It's nearby

 

[Lutter]

Yeah, Pieous over Stanley's 100%. It's like 1/2 mile past the road leading to Jester King (Fitzhigh) on 290.

Their pizza is better than Stanley's but, as BusinessSloth said, the pastrami is the jam.

Been the Pieous - the pizza is good. I would say equal to Stanleys, not better. So for convenience sake, I just go to JK and eat at Stanleys. Never had the pastrami though. Guess I need to get back out there...

 

[MJC1]

Going to JK then Austin for the first time since moving to B/CS area. Anyone going hit me up I'll be there with my other half. Thanks for any tips.

The new Live Oak brewery might be the finest brewery in Texas. Great prices, beautiful scenery, and we came up with a drinking game to guess what plane would fly over next (it's literally across the road from the airport in the flight path).

It really gave me the same feeling I get at some Colorado breweries.

Only place in town you can get a proper .5L pour of Primus for $5.

What does that guy know about Houston beer? ****** lives in New York.


Also, Brash is overrated as hell. This is good for Flood.

 

[SirDickButts]

WELP. that means Brandon is not getting anymore Brash...

 

[Lutter]

Ben E Keith is the worst, lol.

 

[BusinessSloth]

Brash is overrated as hell.

Disagree. Partially. I quite enjoy Abide and Cortado and some of their hoppy beers are quite delicious

Seems like TX craft beer had taken a hit recently. At the Vintage Park HEB, seems like they've reduced the craft beer they're carrying and have moved a lot of the bottle selection to a smaller area.

Then I heard the Kroger on 11th is reducing their craft beer section (and wine section too) and their macros are taking over. No more self distro beers, no more flood, etc. All this supposedly coming from corporate.

Now some of this is word of mouth but it seems (to me) like in the past month or so we've gone backwards here in Houston. Anyone else notice this?

Wicked Weed coming soon to Austin and Houston...

SirDickButts, you were right. Wicked Weed got approval this week.

 

[Hookemhops13]

Forget Wicked Weed, I want this...

Austin Beerworks/Alamo Drafthouse Collaboration in cans for SXSW as a tie in for Richard Linklater's new film. Seems like a hoppy wheat lager?
