The TEXAS thread!

[Lutter]

Same here. Only time I passed it up recently was when D&T had Lillikoi kepolo on tap. Tasted that and just kept drinking that cause it was awesome. Considering grabbing a growlers but its like $24 for a 32 ounce fill so that's pretty steep.

Supposedly it's being packaged next year.

It's the one beer that I must get if I see it on a tap list.

Agree. Love this beer and can't wait to see it in Austin

Meh. It was mediocre.

Anyone seen Breakfast Stout in Austin yet?

Nope.

They doing 6-packs this year, or is that a stupid question.

Did everyone forget they said they'd do that in 2013?

On draft at bangers but that's about it

 

[Lutter]

Apparently I won tickets to the Texas Craft Brewers Fest.... so I'll be there for at least a bit on Saturday. I wasn't planning on it... but, ya know, free.

Anybody else going? I might have an extra ticket if my wife decides that she doesn't wanna go. Ha!

Anyone in Texas want to join me and another TB member for a lambic whale tasting in December? I know these posts are douchey, but I'm out of the loop and don't know who the cool kids with the rare lambic/AWA bottles are anymore... Especially if they're not from Austin. We would be opening things along the lines of Blauw, Framboos, A&T, and such. We're looking for a few people that can provide things along the same line or possibly BA stout whales (BA DLs/KBBS). If you're interested, shoot me a message and I can give you some more details.

I'm guessing individual bottles would cost less than $30 then.... since you've got a growler ($10), 2 pieces of glassware ($20) and 10% off for the year (???) and exclusivity worked into the price. But I could be wrong.

Just for reference for y'all, the costs this year if you would have bought every bottle offered online have been thus:

$327 - membership (taxes are added to everything)
$19.62 - SKUs Me (one bottle)
$39.24 - Shadows of their Eyes (two bottles)
$39.24 - Proportional Response (two bottles)
$39.24 - Consigliere (two bottles)
$29.43 - Fields Forever (one bottle)
$47.09 - Sirius Black (two bottles)
$29.43 - On the Shoulders of Giants (one bottle)
$61.80 - Sourtooth Tiger (three bottles)

So $632.09 so far, for 24 bottles. That comes out to about $26.33 per bottle.

Yeah I made the call to pass on this membership. Too much trouble to have 2 beer club memberships at one time (already have De Garde Keepers 2015). Gonna drop some $$$ on lambic & gueuze whales instead. 1994 Cantillon here I come.

That said, I've already renewed for next year. Yummmm.

But yeah um. 1994 Cantillon? I can't even imagine what that would cost.

Not as bad as you'd think actually when it's 375mls.

I noticed a Brouwerij De Ranke beer is gonna be on tap at JK this weekend....

Did we get De Ranke when I wasn't paying attention? I had their Kriek last weekend and it was outta this world.

Brought in super recently by Flood. From what I heard they had to make a snap decision in terms of whether or not to get it out so they haven't really publicized it yet. I do know that it's pretty limited and may be a while before we get a resupply.

Not to mention the XX Bitter is absolutely fantastic.

Pirate Bomb has landed in Dallas. Looks like Specs Walnut Hill (1/person) and the Whole Foods Park (3/person) both have it right now. Lonestar selling at 6 tonight. Seems like it is going for 11.99+tax. If you're in Texas Let's Talk Craft Beer, you would probably know this.

 

[LawIsTheUT]

Guess that Pirate Bomb is flying off the shelves. WF Park Lane is apparently out already and so is Addison.

 

[deadmolecules]

Dallas folks, Lone Star is having a tasting with Four Corners tonight @ 5 PM. They're also releasing Pirate Bomb at 6 PM.

 

[Indytruks1381]

God I hate beer somedays. I don't want to sit at Lonestar for an hour to try and buy one bottle of beer. I haven't even had Pirate Bomb though so I sure do want a bottle. I'm getting so tired of the chase. I am not entitled to anything, I just wish it was easier.

Anyone from Austin or Dallas driving up to Oklahoma next month for Prairie's 2nd anniversary party?

 

[Hookemhops13]

BusinessSloth, so any interest in going halfsies on a rare barrel membership or you just out for good?

I dunno man. I already got him hooked up with another Houston local. It's possible he may be interested in one giant shipment. rainer

Hey dudes. I live it Texas.

Wanna fight about it?

Has anyone noticed how heavily moderated the SW forum is on that other poopy site? Are all the regional forums that scrutinized? I swear 80% of my posts get removed. Do they (F2brewers) hate Texas or what? Someone should inform him it is not a state with which to be messed.
