The TEXAS thread!

Which stores carry Oasis Metamodern around DFW? Preferably south of 635 or closer to downtown!

Apparently Destihl is dropping tomorrow in ATX... I know they've already hit HTX (and Dallas?)

FTFY.

I just want their canned stuff. Their large format stuff is all 11% ABV!

As far as canned stuff HTX only got the Gose. Not sure if ATX will be different.

That's all I'll need. Austin is failing hard at good canned Gose.

It's been here for a week. There's canned Gose ($10 4pack) and Vertex IPA in CM N Lamar and HEB Hancock at least. Also some Adambier at CM NL.
For the Gose, batch 182 (bottom code I think) is 'extra funky' nablock thought it was bad, so avoid that batch. I emailed the company, got a fast response, a new shipment is coming next week.

Some of the Dekkeras have been around, I recall Sunrise posted them last week. Or Whichcraft got them last week/this week.
Destihl hit *Houston and DFW 1-2 weeks ago, based on a Texas beer fb group post.

Same batch I bought. Tasted like salty, sour, buttered popcorn . Anything interesting in their response other than timeframe on the new batch?

More importantly, why isn't it being recalled?

Doesn't gimme a heckuva lotta confidence.

Don't buy any of Destihl's packaged stuff, something is definitely wrong. The kegs seem to be ok from what I've heard though.

 

[Phischy1]

Depending on the canning line, the beer is more exposed to oxygen than bottles. Think of the surface area exposed. The line has to fill and seal very quickly, which entry level ones can't do. This is important because diacetly precursors can exist in beer and don't show up until exposed to oxygen. Thus kegs may be fine because the beer wasn't exposed where is the cans were.

I haven't had these beers per se, but that's is probably the reason cans have diacetly and kegs dont.

The two Dekkera's I have had were good.

May explain the Gose though. Found it tough to get through a can but couldn't really tell you why. Was at the end of the night and wasn't really paying attention to any potential off flavors....

The batch of Here GOSE Nothin' you're referring to - with a little more funk - is batch 182. The risk with ‘wild’ beers’ is that something too wild can happen by starting each batch from scratch, so for the past several weeks, we have put in place a more enclosed system to maintain and feed our own wild, house lacto strain that we know is good & happy. While some enjoy and seek out beers with these qualities, we want more of a lemon/lime acidity and certainly less funk. We're building a new order for our distributor in TX, so you should see fresh batches of Gose on the shelves very soon.

So they either don't know that diacetyl is the issue and just think they're extra funky, or do and used The Bruery boilerplate response. Given that these should be wild...

I don't even know how to beer anymore.

I apologize for giving the thread information about where Destihl is in Austin, and especially telling you exactly where the Gose you want is and the price point. Please forgive me.

I'm more embarrassed that I'm not "hip to the beat," as the kids say.

Yeah, the can I had was pretty awful. Diacetyl makes sense.

What you're saying might be true, but it's a particular batch that's bad. I picked up cans of their Gose and Berliner in NOLA a couple weeks back and they're fine compared to some of the cans that landed in Texas.

 

[BusinessSloth]

I don't even know what's going on with all this Gose talk. Someone fill me in? I'm not hip into the beer scene anymore. I just drink the **** ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's even worse if the whole batch sucked and they canned and sold it anyway. Diacetly is one of the easiest off flavors to fix.

DESTIHL recently landed in Texas. Among other things, they have a series of canned sours called the Wild Sour series. One of them is a gose called Here Gose Nothin', which is really good, but the batch in Texas has some off flavors. I've seen the berliner on draught in Houston and I assume the others will arrive eventually.

Kickass! You know I went to specs a few days ago for the first time in a while and was blown away at all the good beer just sitting on the shelf. Our distribution is 100X better versus 2 years ago

Hey guys,
I'll be moving to DFW in August from San Diego, though I'm originally from Austin (more specifically Georgetown for you dudes in the area). I haven't hardly been an active poster on this board at all but I'd like to introduce myself before my move. So hi.

That's not true. Canned beer is typically always lower in DO (dissolved oxygen). Bottles will always have oxygen ingress due to the crown, whereas the seal created by the can does not allow ingress at all. I understand your argument about the head space, but most canning lines go through a twist rinse that rinse the cans and effectively purging by replacing with the rinse water. Also the active filling of the can with beer replaces any air volume in the can itself. Depending on how nice their canning line is, the filler could be isolated in its own cabinet in a positive pressure environment.

Depends entirely on how nice the canning line Is. The ones I've seen for new breweries aren't that impressive or fast. They did not have positive pressure cabinets.

Or, the brewery canned a ****** beer and sold it knowingly. That happens too.

Glad to have you back. I'm assuming your getting out of the core? Just saw my little bro recently for the first time in quite a while. He's back in San diego after a few years in Okinawa.

Drink your way through San Diego before leaving. So much is happening there and things change so fast. Cheers!
