That actually seems like a fair deal to me.

Andy Thomas sounds like a fucking nerd.

Is it also “leveraging” a “scalable b2b solution” Andy?

Meh.  Widmer Hefe fucking sucks compared to Live Oak.

True. Though that is also true if you switch out “Widmer Hefe” with other hefes as well...

[mdleast 8289]

[utee94 15814]

I'd try it.  But if it's aged with bacon fat, is it still vegetarian?  Or is it vegetarian but not vegan?  I guess I don't understand how the distinction would work here.

 

[shnsajax 3591]

And Widmer Hefe is on tap fucking everywhere up here. Live Oak ruins you on Hefe’s, there is really nothing remotely close that isn’t German.

Yup, I don't even bother trying other American hefes anymore.

Seems Indy has finally got their chorus all hummin' again after a cacophony of harpsichords and tongue drums and contrabass flutes trying to create a cohesive melody like a brewery version of the Polyphonic Spree

i think its explaining that indy brewing was all over the place trying to do too much and failing like a bunch of hipster dinguses but doing so by using too many words when the middle part of this sentence probably would have been just fine but writer probably is just a faget.

[HenryJames 66045]

WTF is 512 doing at this point to stay relevant? 

[Bottlecap 1523]

mostly keeping consistent, which is like better than like 85% of breweries. Also, 512 IPA is an old school IPA template, which is really good for them and also pecan porter is a city go-to staple. They also announced that they'll be canning it soon, so that accounts for some hype. I'll be super pumped about that. That's a goddam solid everyday beer.

Be cool if they opened a tap room, but I guess Austinites don't like those. I mean I can go to their brewery on Saturdays form noon to 4.

Finally had a few enjoyable beers from ABW last week. Their core beers still suck ass.
Nothing from ABW is better than the top 20 from Pinthouse.

[utee94 15814]

I really like 512 Pecan Porter, very tasty beer.

B-52 Brewing’s Szechuan Sauce. Actually pretty tasty for how ridiculous/disgusting it looks. I did chuckle when I poured it as I immediately thought of that Budweiser Pumpkin Peach Ale

commercial.

You have a beer glass for every occasion.

Sorry if already discussed, but I freaking love Manhattan Project's two IPAs, especially the Half-life. I haven't had any of their other offerings yet.

Manhattan Project has some good beers. Bikini Atoll has become my go to post yard work beer

Just saw CBS is no more after this year? I don't really buy it, but why? Trying to build back hype or what?

firmly in this camp, abw is highly overrated. what beers did you have that were good?

Wet hopped IPA, Mexican lager, and cream ale. Don’t remember any names. All three were solid.

First beer of the weekend cheers to you all.

They want to focus on whiter looking beers.

Yes. Forgot that they made that.  Einstein's Pub in Katy always had it on tap and the lady would pour me those before I even ordered.  LOL.

I knew there was a 512 beer that I liked, but could not recall...

They should replace it with $22 four packs, imo.

Yeah I know, but it still sold eventually. KBS is still on shelves though.

I picked up a $22 four pack so I guess the threat of no more worked on me. It's a great beer, but not worth the price.
