any KBS still around in Austin?

 

[ChukHell]

Just dropped in to say Oasis Meta Modern Session IPA might be a game changer. Got a nose like Heady. Best IPA I've stuck my nose in in recent memory. Not watery at all. ******* outstanding.

Anyone got any good recommendations for growler fills in the Northwest Austin/Round Rock/Cedar Park area? I've gotten fills at the Growler Room and the Dig Pub, but not a fan of their fills for various reasons...

Have you tried Whole Foods or Brass Tap? I don't think anyone in Austin does a perfect fill, so I don't know if you'll find anything better than Growler or Dig.

I'm trying to downsize the glassware collection instead of moving it. If you're interested in anything, just shoot me a message. The LA teku, Duvel artist, and Mad Elf are spoken for already. PS I'm in Austin.

Cool table!

Thank you sir. I also have a coffee table and many other things covered in beer labels... The slippery slope of collecting labels that started 8 years ago.

You moving out of town?

 

[ExPimp]

You moving out of town?

No, just to a new house. Figured this would be a good excuse to downsize and make the wife happy.

Hopefully closer to Jester King...

Trying to decide where to eat for dinner Saturday night for my b-day. Open to suggestions. Must be family-friendly, mid-high end restaurant is preferred. Bonus points if they have a good craft beer selection. Go.

Not the kind of food I'm looking for, but I am diggin Cottonwood's tap list. Need to pay a visit soon.

I definitely want to hit up Jinya Ramen bar this week if I can. Pork belly ramen FTW.

Yeah, as far as Texas, good food and craft beer in one place still has quite a ways to go outside of Austin (thinking places like Barley Swine, Odd Duck, Hightower). Maybe try Pass/Provisions but I haven't been there in a long time.

Oxheart? Underbelly?

Uchi has a location in Houston. Also: Max's Wine Dive.

Max's Wine Dive here in Austin has zero draft beer, but actually a decent bottled selection.

Sorry, for some reason I thought you would be in Austin that weekend.

Just friday

And I am actually leaning towards Amalfi Houston. Anyone tried it? Relatively new Italian restaurant

 

[rainer1]

For good food and beer in Houston, try Weights + Measures. Their beer list is small but had some really cool things on it when I went a month or so ago. Also, Provisions usually has a pretty good selection, Down House always has a nice draught selection but isn't terribly fancy, and BRC is another option with usually a good (although can be pricey) selection.

New place near me in Midtown. Ramen ain't bad at all. Not quite NYC levels, but among the best I've had in Houston. Sadly, the beer selection is garbage and costly. Sake works though.

I always go for sake at Jap restaurants. I tend to prefer chilled, dry sake.
