other than Altstadt, this is the most insane brewery setup in the state. And their beer is good too

Nice sidewalk and parking lot.  I don't think I've seen better.

I'm mysterious and elusive, I'm here, I'm there, then I'm not.  Always leave the fans wanting more.

 

Actual answer-- an all day marching band competition is keeping me away.  Your little one will probably someday have activities that keep you away from drinking delicious beer at wonderful breweries.  Or maybe not, maybe you'll make better life choices than I have,

Lovely. I hate drinking good beer out of plastic cups though.

same. if i’m served beer in a plastic cup at a brewery, i will never return (unless it’s a huge event or something out of ordinary).

Bummer.  I am work friends with one of the owners.  She said it was coming.  They expanded and then covid hit and they never managed to recover.

I guess I don’t understand the business acumen of some of these brewery owners. Expand to Kerrville in 2023 and then blame inflation for going out of business.

RIP to boring, non-seasonally themed beer and glassware

Not a great showing for Texas at GABF

 it's a terrible list but also jeff stuffings seems like he sucks. 

[HenryJames 66041]

Real Ale is too low, and ABW is too high.

Edited October 19 by HenryJames

[Scraps 13561]

Jester King should actually be higher lol

[GreenspointTexas 9600]

Real Ale is a shell of its former self. Ever since Erik Ogershok, their beer has sucked dick. A decade ago, id consider them a top 5 Texas brewery. Today, I wouldnt even have them in the top 50

[Iceman 2700]

Yeah, but Devil's Backbone and the Bomber 6-pack are still engrained in my regular rotation.

The Bomber 6-pack is one of the very best values for $'s spent.

i don’t buy or consume much real ale, but i think axis is the best widely distributed texas IPA and i’m pretty sure it was created after erik left.

Axis is fine but off the top of my head, I like Art Car, Yellow Rose, Electric Jellyfish, and the Tupps DDH stuff better

Normally I can take all the abuse from the dorks on Reddit and the dweebs on Insta/FB/comments sections and even most of you assholes on here but you in particular have been such a cunt for so long that I’d love to see your list fuckhead. Travel to almost 80 local breweries over 10 months, spend your own money on LOTS of shitty, awful beer and boring, single-template taprooms and with the little free time you have left over from your ACTUAL job write 8,000 words about it and submit it here fuckhead. I’d love to see what an effete dickhead loves to drink so I can learn. 

also independence is ass. The one good IPA they had in Liberty Lunch they discontinued and their taprooms is lazy as fuck for a legacy brewer. It’s also why (512) rarely makes the power rankings despite the fact I invest a lot of money in PP and their OG IPA.
