think i had about 3 circle beers in the 15 years that they were open. there was a reason for that...

The last time I had a Circle beer was at Mohawk about 5 years ago.  I took one sip and it tasted like a dirty ashtray.  Dropped it immediately in a trash can.

Opinions on Altstadt Oktoberfest beer. Noticed that HEB is carrying it. In past years I have enjoyed Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer.

I haven't had their Fest. All of their other offerings I've tried have been at least decent, and some are pretty good.

Except for their Hefe.  It's not good and there's no reason at all to bother with it, especially when the best Hefeweizen in the USA is already brewed right here in Austin (Del Valle).

Has anyone seen Indio at any shops in Austin? It's always my shit beer of choice at taquerias in Mexico and I'm planning on having a Carne Asada soon and wanted to have some to complete the experience.

I haven't seen it in Austin in years. It's one of my mainstays when in Mexico as well, but don't see it around in Austin.

This reddit thread suggests that it's distributed in Houston and San Antonio but not Austin.  Can't say whether or not there's any truth to that.

I haven't had the Alstadt, but I highly recommend Real Ale's Oktoberfest. RIP Thirsty Planet, their Smittlefest was pretty damn good too.

I know this thread is for good beer, but has anyone noticed that the Lone Star is empty at HEB?  I've checked the Bar W HEB and the HEB Plus in Leander.
They've been out the past 2 weekends

Haven't seen Lone Star / LS Light 12 or 24 pack longnecks for a long time in Dallas--- just 6 packs if you want bottles, and 12 or 30 pack cans.  Always easy to find Lone Star cans here though.

Central Market has Trillium in stock. Dunno how they got it since they don’t distribute anywhere near Texas. Picked up a 4-pack of The Common IPA…for $29. Figured it was cheaper than flying to Massachusetts.

Weird. Their website doesn't mention Texas.  Oh well, it's here and it's glorious.

Yep - just saw 3 different Trillium 4 packs at Central Market here in Dallas.  To each their own and all that and they no doubt make great beers when I've had them but it is still shocking to see a $29.99 price for a 4 pack (of non-barrel aged stout) in a grocery store.  But as someone mentioned up thread, I'd have no problem paying $7.50 for a 16oz if I saw their beer out somewhere.

less than 50 cents an ounce is very reasonable for world class beer
