  1. 8, 8 I forgot what 8 was for
  2. What the fuck are you talking about?
  3. Obviously that is what i meant. They are unexpectedly closing up shop in Austin and leaving. No, that was not "known for a while now". The plan was to have both facilities open, and more than that, open up a far eastside barrel room. No one said anything about closing down the austin facility and selling that taproom as a turnkey facility. This is a pretty big splash as far as Austin brewery news goes.
  4. weird, because that's how i interpret this: https://discussions.probrewer.com/showthread.php?77905-Turnkey-brewery-in-Austin-TX And by leaving austin, I mean taproom/production facility. Obviously, they will still be distributed here. But maybe i'm reading "HEY, buy our facility in East Austin" wrong.
  5. Sounds like Hops & Grain is flaming out of austin. Quality got really bad, lost a ton of really good staff/brewers. seems like they just gave up and are going all in on San Marcos.
  6. Here's the 2018 Texas Craft Brewers Fest beer list for those of yall going ... with a shot-out to Surly pals, Great Heights.
  7. I ate dinner for under $10. That was awesoe. And i was comped a beer at the silver bullet bar while i watched aggy almost embarrass our program from 100 miles away. I have student season tix this year since my wife is going back to school and those GA sections were completely full long before gametime. I think they filtered the spillover into the crappy south endzone because that was full shortly after gametime too. I just snuck into a different section but USC should be a shitshow and probably at student capacity by 6pm. Bob Fucking Cole's new "... AND HERE ... WE .... GO" catchphrase before each kickoff was fucking brutal. Man, fuck that guy. My only real complaint of the night other than Eligher and TH's terrible offense.
  8. Arriola is so fucking bad Haven't been impressed with Miazga on any of his senior call ups.
  9. Donated again and also got my wife a shirt with another dudes name on it. Vamos!
  10. Looks like Lowell Galindo made it
  11. Hi Sign is fine. I like their new blueberry blonde. One thing I have noticed is that there is a discernable difference in quality bw their stuff on tap and their stuff in cans. I almost never buy their canned beer, but i'm a big fan when i see it on tap. Strange. I haven't been in months, but do they have a canning line? Or are they doing that two at a time hand canning in open atmosphere for optimal oxidation flavoring kind of thing?
  12. dude is mush. he''s not even a poor mans colt.
  13. all the endorsement i need. they should find a big stadium in texas too.
  14. This was a fuckin jam. Weren't they like 16 or 17 when they debuted a few years ago? Makes sense all that instant indie cred made em lose their minds.
  15. well, its basically a dunkel lager not unlike a negra modelo, and not actually a bock, so that seems ok.
  16. I'm not above a shiner bock, but overall, the brewery should just stick to german-style lagers
  17. Also, in case yr branching out from your usual tailgating beers, here are some new ones that have debuted since the end of last football season: https://www.austinchronicle.com/features/2018-08-31/introducing-austins-pre-gaming-beers-of-2018/
  18. For the lager knowers and fans, the oral history of ABGB https://www.austinchronicle.com/food/2018-08-31/the-oral-history-of-abgb/
  19. They are contract brewing at Celis, so probably the same heavy-handed hazy recipes with a new label
  20. Awful. I tried to write both into an article, but couldn't in good conscience do that to people with functioning taste buds.
  21. Thanks for the memories, Demps. That Ghana goal was fucking lunacy. And I got to see him score live three times. GOAT.
