    A Houston Bar Will Serve Wine Out of Pringles Cans -  The Branch for merlot served in the classiest vessel possible
    Inspired by a Wichita Falls woman barred from a Walmart store for riding around the parking lot with a Pringles can full of wine, Spring Branch bar the Branch will offer Houstonians a similar opportunity to get lit.
    On Wednesday, The Branch will serve wine in mini cans of Pringles.

    why would anyone want to do this? and why would you want those people in your bar?
  2. I've said this before several times on here and I'll say it again, regional breweries are a thing of the past (nationally, but especially in TX).


    this is 99.5% true

    You want a successful brewery? Get a partner or two to help run operations. Make a cool taproom. It doesn't have to be the nicest, just warm and inviting. Self distribute, but only distribute like 5% of your beer to high volume accounts for advertising purposes. Sell the other 95% out of your taproom. Get a brewpub license and sell crowlers (or growlers, but just do crowlers i mean, come on) to-go. Keep your footprint small and get into an underserved neighborhood or community. Play good music, make it kid or dog friendly or both. Have an outdoor space.


    opening and running a brewery is extraordinarily expensive. unless you catch absolute fire, you’re not paying 2-3 full time salaries on taproom sales alone. maaaybe if you’re an industry name and sell some upfront equity at a high valuation before you open with zero debt.
  3.  Jake's intellect outside a couple sports is dick and Corby's isn't far behind.  Danny would be the most intelligent person of the 3 in the room by far...think about that.


    danny is a moron. i don’t mind him on the hardline. he’s kind of funny and has good stories, but if he has to actually discuss anything other music, he’s fucking clueless. corby and jake are both 10x smarter than danny.
  4. sitting in lafitte’s right now. first time here in 6-7 years. i will never waste my time visiting this place again. digital jukebox on the wall blaring usher, touch screen nudie photo hunt on the bar top, and jaeger/fireball shot machines behind the bar. what a fucking disgrace.

  5. question that came up with a buddy: what are your top 3 bucket list breweries to visit? let’s keep it to USA only, so we don’t all list cantillon or one of the abbeys.

    tough question, but right now i’m going with:
    sierra nevada-mills river (been to chico)
    pfriem family brewers
    hill farmstead
