Well that could kill a man.

I just finished off my last year's stock of Primus, so began restocking yesterday. I have a case of it to take out to COTA this weekend for Formula 1.  Things could get shitty in a hurry...

Further Austin weekend beer highlights (beyond Pinthouse and Zilker):

 

Always enjoy the scene at ABW

After Zilker, we stopped by nearby Lazarus. Same as last time I visited, liked but didn’t love any of their beers. Seemed way more crowded this time vs the prior time I visited so good for them.

Stopped by East 1st Grocery to pick up some beers to bring home and the decided to head by nearby Hops & Grain. Was initially worried that it appeared they were shutting down but surmised they are repainting so that’s why the taproom is totally barren

Always cap off an Austin weekend trip with a stop at Jester King right when they open at noon. However, with some time to kill before noon, decided to revisit Vista Brewing (which opens at 11:00)

Love the scene there. Like the beers there.

 

Also, had a bee fly up to, land on, starting drinking and then fall into their Schwarzbier.

Then noon at Jester King. Tried the Coolship Roadtrip collab with American Solera. Good stuff.

On the way out of town, got some ABW Lazer Salad on tap and in some crowlers (sadly the dedicated cans get released next week).

Good times

^^^^^

That's what I'm talking about.

Re: Zilker, I love their coffee milk stout.  Like really really love it.

I've had a couple others that I liked okay, an English pub ale and a sour.  I like their setup and want to like more of their stuff, but admittedly as a non-IPA guy I'm not really their target demo anyway.

My FIL is in San Antonio, can he get Live Oak down there now? Any other breweries to check out other than Freetail?

Yes on the live oak.  Primus might not be on the shelves yet, but hefeweizen is almost always available.

There aren't really any must have San Antonio beers unless you are a total San Antonio Homer.

Found out over the weekend that the only TX breweries who "export" to Georgia are Shiner and Jester King; however, I've yet to see anything from the latter on the shelves.  And I've checked a lot of shelves in metro Atlanta.

Find out who the distributor is in Atlanta and email them asking what stores typically receive shipments. Even if they do get it, it might only be once a quarter.

When I lived in Texas SA seemed like a wasteland for breweries 5 years ago.

5 Stones’ Shepherd Warrior is pretty tasty. Haven’t had a ton of their beers but typically pick up a 4 pack of whatever of their latest release East 1st Grocery has when I’m in Austin (as, when out of town, I’m always looking to bring back something we don’t have here in Dallas). I’m assuming their beers don’t really move the needle much for those in Austin but I’m certainly not regretting pick this up.
