This week’s post-mowing beer is Relax [it’s just a hazy IPA] by Offshoot Beer Co. out of California. I’ve had this a couple times in California and learned they just released it here in Dallas this week. Apparently it is a collaboration with The Bruery (which I never realized before).
It’s tasty...in my O...-

The first 43 minutes of this are just fantastic. Gabe, Olin, Stephen McGee, and Looch experience bewilderment, anger, confusion, depression, and then once Looch gets there: sunshine and rainbows. This is literally Looch 90% of when he speaks:

Admittedly I was only half paying attention as I was working but did I hear correctly that one of their advertisers is a trailer park? If so, that does seem fitting, huh? -
Today we're celebrating the birthday of our taproom manager Rachel with a very special beer, Glitterboyz! She worked with James Herrington to craft a sour ale, then added 1 pound of blue raspberry sour candy straws per gallon. Obviously they had to finish this Wonka-style concoction with edible glitter for that extra bit of whimsy! Glitter is extremely hard to photograph, but when you get a pour and hold it up to the light, you'll see lots of sparkle. This beer smells like pure candy and has the exact same mouth-puckering flavor as the straws. There are only about 3 gallons of this extremely limited brew, so we are allowing one 5oz pour per person. It is unlikely that it will last beyond tonight, so make sure to stop by and try it!
Tonight's food is from Bad Spanish Tacos. They craft mouthwatering authentic street tacos from slow smoked meats, hand-pressed tortillas, and homemade salsas. Skip the restaurant,
and come get dinner and a beer in the taproom, you'll be happy you did!

If I were the 8:40 bit Gordo replacement I would always punt and play some classic audio...

Quick! Someone update the roller coaster graphic!
Also, is this the earliest in the year/pre-season the coaster has fallen off the lofty, epic, highest of heights previously predicted by our collective little brother?

Stewart Mandel and Bruce Feldman both named this their most anticipated early season game in the latest Audible podcast episode. As i was listening to that, an obvious point occurred to me that has probably been discussed before: College GameDay will almost certainly be coming to our cittttaaaayyyyy....

I posted about this at one point on the 2019 beer thread but thought I would post this here too. I'm a hop head so when I home brewed it was usually an IPA or hoppy pale ale. However, I haven't home brewed in a while for a few reasons including due to the fact that there are seemingly so many new release, new to the area, seasonal, etc. hoppy beers coming out every week or so and I realized that it was too much to then have 5Gs of some hoppy beer that also needed to get drank fresh. Plus, if I'm only really drinking on the weekends, that is gonna lead to some (maybe a lot of) wasted beer.
However, I recently learned of this from Lagunitas and am very interested in trying to make it (as I have not found it for sale around here):
https://lagunitas.com/story/hoppy-refresher
Any thoughts as to what would be a recipe to try to make this? I'm a little out of practice now and am trying to figure out if there is even any boil with hop additions or if this is just "dry hopping" (but with no boil at all?) and what type/how much of a yeast are they using to give it more of a beer taste. I've looked around online but have not come across any clone recipe.
Figured this might be a nice week night if I want a sip of "hoppy" but no calories drink or on the weekends/watching games when I want "another" beer but, again, without the calories. The Untapped reviews for this are surprisingly high (especially for zero alcohol)...higher than many session IPAs I have seen.

Once again, on behalf of all P-1s, thank you Corby for the delayed "Luke Perry" assist/confirmation during the Mint Dentistry spots.

Pretty good little beer Saturday and Sunday in Austin centered around going to the spring game.
After driving through some of the heaviest rain I’ve ever driven through, we had Pinthouse Round Rock on the way into town (pretty sure this will be the new go-to lunch on the way in). Tasty drinks (including Nomera) and a 4 pack to go (wish they had the Electric Jellyfish cans in stock)
Hit up Oddwood and was able to enjoy their anniversary It’s All in the Reflexes sour among others.
Also stopped by Zilker (after picking up some beers to go at East 1st Grocery) for their 4th anniversary IPA among others (and, as referenced earlier, note the sticker)
I had absolutely zero beers at the spring game as the selection I saw was all trash.
This morning, per usual, we hit up Jester King right when they opened at noon for drinks and ambiance. The Detritivore farmhouse ale was tasty and the Spon Muscat lambic was quite tasty.
Pretty good little weekend. Pretty good.-

Is ABW’s Invisible Hand still pretty easy to find around town in stores?
-
Which location? I’m slightly annoyed that PHP Round Rock (which I realize will now be my go to location for lunch/drinks on my way into Austin each time) still doesn’t have their live tap feed on the website like the other two locations.
-
Is that still Houston only (no Austin)? Heading down tomorrow for the spring game and looking for stuff to bring back to Dallas. Zilker’s 4 will be one I’m looking for. What’s the latest Spindletap limited releases (if any) available in Austin?

Awesome though, full disclosure: I would have also been OK if they had done this in a roast format.

Anyone heard when ABW’s Heavy Machinery DIPA is supposed to be released? I thought it was normally in March.

Ah yes and the Dallas Stars Playoff Postgame Show...live from Planet Bob!

Random Dirk/Ticket memory: those commercials from around 1998/99 featuring Dirk telling us he’s “very tall for his age” and helping a lady get a cat out of a tree with “here katza katza katza”

One shining moment...Texas didn’t make the big boys’ tourney!

I haven’t had the Turning Point beer though I did have a glitter beer at Austin Beerworks a few years back when they just had the original taproom. The bartender would put the light on his phone under the beer to showcase the glitter effect.
