Beer 2022: Electric Boogaloo

[Armybrat 40850]

Altstadt Amber at the Auslander in Fredericksburg is quite good, and the schnitzel is pretty tasty too.

 

[utee94 15824]

All of the Alstadt beers are pretty drinkable.  Except the hefeweizen which is a complete mess.

I got to tour their entire brewing operation a couple of years back, it's incredibly impressive.

Modern Times is done. Maui Brewing is buying all their assets in a court ordered auction.

It’s for the best.

Looks like Poechenellekelder.

You’re correct, sir.

Some beer pics from my Europe trip in Brussels and Amsterdam. Cantillon was probably my favorite brewery experience I’ve ever had. Did the quick tour then after the samples got a random bottle and talked to some of the people who were sitting next to me. Ended up trying essentially everything on the menu with other Americans who were there. Stupidly didn’t take pics of all the bottles I tried but have a pic of the menu.

Didn't know you were going to Amsterdam or I would have recommended Arendsnest.

I did go there! Twice actually. Great tap list.

Beavertown Neck Oil IPA.

Beavertown Brewery is owned by Robert Plant’s son. His grandpa was a coal miner and when he’d come home with a sore neck, he’d say “grease me up with some of that neck oil” and grandma would hand him a beer.

Drank a lot of their stuff in London. Very tasty. 

[SuckitKevin 920]

Back from Bridge City(Five Stones Brewery), if you’re ever in the Garden Ridge/New Braunfels area, this place has some fantastic beers, super chill environment, people are friendly.

26 Acres Brewing Reptar Juice Hazy IPA, Lucky 12 Tavern, Nags Head NC 

[UTCzech III 2907]

Wicked Weed Dr. Dank Diuble IPA with tangerine and passion fruit (11 hours on the road, I am thirsty!)

Grimbergen Abbey beer.

[HenryJames 66075]

In the wrong glass.

[CooterBrown 18014]

In the wrong glass.

I got the large. Only the small came in the proper glass. It was worth it.

I say I don’t judge what someone else drinks, and I’m cool with whatever someone buys because the cash flow helps make all beers and new choices.  However, I am at a taphouse with about 25 beers on tap, currently enjoying a Franziskaner Hefe and 3 people n a row walk up and order a Bud Light.   One of em emphasized ‘ with a lemon’ and I know I laughed, if ever so slightly.

I shouldn’t have laughed, but wholly furk.  Why you ordering that jive bullshit when there are so many great selections?

OK. Rant over. Clownshoes Fistful of Unidragon coming up next.

 

[mdleast 8295]

RIP to Steam Theory here in Dallas. TBH I wasn’t really a fan of any of their beers but it sucks to see another brewery go under.

Alohop Pineapple IPA (foreground) and White Feather IPA. And rudeness in the back.

Why order a German Hefe when there are so many great Texas Hefe's available?

They weren't in that place.  Live Oak sucks at distribution.  I buy it every time it's available when I am buying beer.  I love their products.  The other piece is frustrating as hell.

As are  a Corvette and a Spark.  Are you suggesting those driving experiences are remotely similar?

Stone managed to spend itself into so much debt they had to sell out. Acquired by Sapporo. I guess Greg Koch can go away now.
