The TEXAS thread!

[boogercrack]

Y'all got it, bruh. Lol.



Nah. But I'm gonna guess Thurs or Friday. I'm sure it won't be publicly announced when it arrives. You know how the "game" goes tho.



Pretty much. It will be cool to buy a bottle of Cantillon in TX. I just want the dregs. Lol

Pass.

I'll just wait for Oxheart to reload and grub down with some Kriek like last time.

Hnnnnnnnngh

What's it taste like tho

Apparently Austin Beerworks is the #1 "new" brand in supermarkets across the entire country this year (Live Oak is #2)...

... but ******* what? I've been buying Austin Beerworks at HEB since like 2011. Maybe they entered Safeway/Randalls or Walmart or some other big retailer this year?

See twitter convo between me and BeerMonkey.

Apparently it's just some stupid way that IRI tracks retail data.

Just grabbed a sixer of Bloodwork for my wife. It was her gateway IPA. She is very happy.

Ah, so that's explained.

Although I kinda question the numbers of an organization that didn't know ABW existed for almost 5 years in retail, lol.

Got further clarification in the comments section of that article...

"The data comes from IRI’s IRI InfoScan Total US Multi-Outlet + Conv data set and Total US FOOD, YTD and 4 weeks ending August 7, 2016 data set. Multi-outlet and convenience includes grocery stores, Walmart, drug stores, BJ’s and Sam’s club (but not Costco), and convenience stores, to the best of my knowledge."

Art of the Brew in Austin is pretty much the best beer festival for Texas Brewers ever.

So many great beers and interesting art.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of great beers, especially since it's a "free" event. (I donated some money, but I don't think a donation was required.)

 

[SirDickButts]

cantillon kriek and gueuze en route this week.

........and it will be scarce.

annnnnnd it's pushed back to the 1st.

 

[IndianaJones]

annnnnnd it's pushed back to the 1st.

Was about to ask lol. Expect it first week of October?

 

[SirDickButts]

Yeah. I'm guessing since it's the first time it'll be sold in TX....the distributor wants to wait til Zwanze.

So.. Was thinking that there are some houstonites in this thread as seen by the discussion here, and I'm new in the area as of a few months ago. Have a pretty good selection of stuff I'd like to share with any like minded TBers out there!

My money says that Spec's won't release Cantillon bottles until Black Friday.

Spec's gargles monkeyballs. I really can't stand them.

Three houstonite Houstonian reponses and no one drinks bottles socially?

 

[boogercrack]

+1 Suburbanite Houstonian but I prefer to drink my beers by myself in the dark.

I have a beer enthusiast friend in Houston. He's not on TalkBeer, because he's a loser (which seems like an epidemic in Htown).

I mostly homebrew. I don't chase whales and or buy a lot of bottles anymore unless it's a good ipa by the 6 pack. And I drink off my kegs at home.

hold on to yer bottles. gonna see if Brandon will crank dat after hours bottle share in the near future...

 

[nathanmiller]

So FLBeerFan I don't live in Houston anymore, though I visit often, but when I did, I would frequently attend the BA Ginger Man share, second Sunday of every month. It's open to everyone, it varies in size between 4 and 50 people (11/12 months, it's about 10 people), and there's tons of great beers and great people.

 

[IndianaJones]

Glad y'all chimed in. cheers
