The TEXAS thread!

Gruit? Do you want then to go out of business?

What's wrong with gruits?! Gruits are tasty!

I'm surprised Lone Pint hasn't made one. They seem like they'd be the ones to do it.

Where dafuq is Brad at anyways. BusinessSloth

Working my ass off. Leaves little to no time for beer these days

I will be in Austin the next few weekends though.

 

[jbeezification1]

yeah. they cleaned him out pretty quick. there was some @ WF on bellaire...don't know if there's anymore.

EDIT:

i saw a funny on instagram. 3 guys did a video review saying they'd prefer Houston Haze over Treehouse Doppelganger.
an FB group (i don't have an FB account) was throwing shade at them about the review.

i'll be the first to admit that there's a bit of homerism in the local scene, as there is anywhere else.
a person's beer preference is subjective.....
but im not going to say Spindletap's very first NEIPA is on par w/ Treehouse/Tirehands/Trillium offerings.
I'd say they set a good bar of standard of that style locally.
i expect the next release will be more nuts, since alotta people didnt make to the first one.

I have no idea what any of those beers are.

I hope this doesn't insta-sellout on Friday, cause I'd really like to try it.

I know last time they released it on March 3rd, and it lasted until at least March 7th. But I feel like it will go faster this time around.

Dare I ask about Waldo and KBS in Houston?

 

[IndianaJones]

Dare I ask about Waldo and KBS in Houston?

I grabbed a 4-pack of KBS at Central Market Westheimer/Weslayan a few days back, so they're around. I think they just recently announced Waldo, so we probably won't see it for a few weeks

 

[Phischy1]

I could hit Smith St Specs today after work. I wonder if they have it or if you have to ask.

Wife and I are also going to Holler Brewing today. Don't know anything about them.

Dude. Stop by D&Q (not for KBS) its literally 5 mins away from there.

 

[Phischy1]

I need to go in there. Will try today.

 

[JGlitz87]

Paging all Dallas Dwellers:

I just stopped in Small Brewpub to have a beer in honor of National Beer Day. All of their drafts are $2 for today, and they have their passion fruit sour on tap. If you have never been, today is the day to go. If you have been, you probably just jumped in your car to drive there if you are in town...

Haven't posted in a looonnnggg time. Spending the afternoon out at B52 with some beer and crawfish.

Went to D&Q. Amazing selection and will work with him for my next BJCP class to get some beers I couldn't find for testing last round. Played poker last night and got a few Oz of KBS. What a sticky sweet mess.

D&Q is always a must stop for me anytime I'm in Houston.

Anyone in the Austin area have a spare 6 or 12 shipper they'd be willing to part with?

If you don't get any takers, most Specs sell them and keep them in stock regularly.

Brodie Ln Specs inventory says they have 12 bottle shippers in stock and 6 bottle shippers with limited availability. They're like $9 and $6, respectively.

Thanks for the heads up!

Jester King

Jester King sells bottle shippers?

 

[IndianaJones]

Jester King sells bottle shippers?

Yes, but they're not a styrofoam shipper, instead they are basically 6 2-bottle cardboard shippers packed into a bigger box, for what is essentially a 12-shipper. The box is big.

You live in Houston now? Neat.

You probably moved 4 years ago and I just now noticed the name change.

The Spec's ones are probably the ones to go with if these aren't styro-shippers.
