Was in Austin for the weekend (first time since February 2020) with the family. Besides the usual stops (Pinthouse Round for lunch on the way in, ABW as we played games and messed around one evening and Jester King on Sunday when they open before heading back home), tried a few new breweries this weekend.

Holdout Brewing has tasty burgers. I got the 50/50 and this ain’t a great photo but all burgers we had were very good and their fries are great. Beers were all solid enough.

Stopped briefly by Central District Brewing while waiting to see if we were going to wait around for dinner at Moonshine (we didn’t). Beers were decent. I worry about how well they will do given parking around there.

Had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for Jester King. As we had a little time to kill before I stopped for a very quick flight at almost right across the street Beerburg Brewing. Nice looking place that also reminds me of Vista and to a lesser degree Family Business Beer Company. I thought the beers were better than as rated. Food menu looked good too.

Heading to Pinthouse Brewing today to check it out and catch my boy Guy Forsyth play a couple of sets.  Menu is different than the pizza joints and brews are looking good too. 

Fantastic choice

Frank digs the Off Grid.

Cool story behind this beer: it was brewed with a generator in the wake of the derecho (land hurricane) that leveled Cedar Rapids this summer and left the power grid down for two weeks.

What are the best craft beer bars around Austin these days? If I was considering making a one-off delivery trip to town, which places should I reach out to? Could probably only fit kegs for 5-6 joints in our modest van. I’ve got a couple of buddies that are investors in Great Heights who live in Austin, plus I just think it would be cool to put some of our stuff out there and I could expense a quick trip.

Wish they’d stop making so many smoked beers.

The 157 different pilsners they've made in the past year aren't enough for you????

Training for a half marathon and trying to lose weight in the process. Definitely not “on the wagon”, but reducing the beer intake. This is honestly pretty fucking good.

The GOAT of “non-alcoholic” beers is the one that is, in fact, truly non-alcoholic: no alcohol, no calories and no carbs. Just water, hops and a pinch of brewer’s yeast:

Which to my hop loving taste is just a delicious hop tasting Topo Chico like drink.

That stuff is great.  Almost too good, because I find it so refreshing I fly through it quicker than I would beer.

Yeah, yeah it's macro brew talk, but been looking forward to this for years.

Fans of Yuengling will soon be able to buy the beers in Texas for the first time as the 192-year-old brewery celebrates its expansion into the state.

On Tuesday, the secret family recipes and proprietary yeast from Pennsylvania's D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc, arrived at the Molson Coors facility in south Fort Worth, where the beer will be produced.

Before the expansion into Texas, Yuengling was available in 22 states but only made it as far west as Louisiana and Arkansas.

Four Yuengling beers will be brewed in Fort Worth: Yuengling Lager, Light Lager, Golden Pilsner and Flight, its light beer, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Yuengling beer is expected to hit Texas shelves by the fall.

 

Pool/beach/lake days just got a whole lot better.
