Shit, I'll just smash up some maca pills and add that during secondary or kegging on the next batch. We'll see.

Marzen doesn’t move the needle for me.

Because all those brutally overhopped IPAs fried your taste buds.  

For the rest of us, it's delicious.

[utee94 15745]

Went to PP yesterday and got the newly released Burro's Especial, a Vienna-style lager, and it was delicious.

 

[HenryJames 65887]

Achel, imo.

I just don’t get them. I don’t know if they’re too malty or too sweet but they just seem cloying to me.

More for you guys to enjoy.

And I love Oktoberfest. Just don’t like the beer associated with it.

[HenryJames 65887]

Try Ayinger. Less sweet.

[ramirezut 63]

Just got back from a work trip in Vermont. I had heard Heady Topper was an amazing double IPA. G'dam, it might be one of the best beers i've ever had.

Any of you assholes tried it? Pretty hard to find outside of NE I hear.

Yeah,

enjoyed a couple pints of it at Prohibition Pig in waterbury (The Alchemist was closed for a few months at the time). That’s a great bar if you’re ever in the area. 

[HenryJames 65887]

Duvel tall boy, imo.

What's the deal with Alstadt brewery?  I liked them on Facebook per a sponsored ad, and they re building a literal fucking castle.  Who is financing that?  They certainly don't need that much space for a brewery, tap room and restaurant, right?  What will the rest of the square footage be?  Their beers better be pretty fucking good to justify such a massive expenditure.

Scripps family. They certainly don't looked destined to make profit over there. Its a cringey operation. They may bank on weddings tho.

Brewing an Altbier is a license to print money.

[deft 6797]

How so?

[Bottlecap 1519]

they're literally printing money and laundering it through their altbier labels is my guess

I will be in the Woodlands & Conroe area this weekend for a soccer tournament.  I'm familiar with Souther Star's repertoire.  Which other local breweries should I check out.  Bonus points if there's food options too.  Thanks!

Yeah those pics I saw were crazy. A damn small german town replica or something. Does seem like they are aiming to be an events place.

[Hank_Hill 18486]

I mean, I’ll try it, but not expecting much. 

[deft 6797]

Same.

[HenryJames 65887]

Can’t remember the last time I’ve had anything from Shiner.

[deft 6797]

Other than shiner you mean? Fucking philistines.

[HenryJames 65887]

There’s always something better available.

[4th&Five 41457]

Starting to see some 8th Wonder 6 packs around Austin. Anyone seen Rocket Fuel yet?

Yea, somehow I can always get something from real ale for cheaper than shiner

I guess I’m the only person here forced into a family meal or a company HH where the draft options were shiner or macro.

 

 

Edit: any beer options at all regardless of vessel

[Okie State 3788]

In that situation absolutely Shiner over macro every single time.

 

 

[Hank_Hill 18486]

Their Hef > Live Oaks.........but maybe that's just me

Edited August 16, 2018 by Hank_Hill

[utee94 15745]

Now that's an opinion I've never heard. I definitely don't agree, but folks should drink what they like.

It’s just you.

Bad joke. Headed to LO tomorrow afternoon.

[Hank_Hill 18486]

Alright, alright.....1a/1b

[Hank_Hill 18486]

 

Hi-C is pretty good. Just to reiterate, fuck Dallas.

Edited August 17, 2018 by Hank_Hill

[HenryJames 65887]

They have any Hi-C cans?

[Okie State 3788]

Going to Austin tomorrow. I need to try one of these places.

[HenryJames 65887]

Odd13 is a newer Colorado brewery, and they make good stuff.

No. You can take a crowler though. 

[AnotherUTFan 9673]

I don't know the Alpine / Green Flash situation right now, but I can confirm that "Alpine from Alpine" tastes just like Alpine from Alpine.

 

 

Welcome back old friend.

 

 

 

[Okie State 3788]

I need some Pliny. It's been too long.

Try them both. They’re about a mile apart.

Yep, and very different beer selection.
