  1. Hi Sign is fine. I like their new blueberry blonde. One thing I have noticed is that there is a discernable difference in quality bw their stuff on tap and their stuff in cans. I almost never buy their canned beer, but i'm a big fan when i see it on tap. Strange. I haven't been in months, but do they have a canning line? Or are they doing that two at a time hand canning in open atmosphere for optimal oxidation flavoring kind of thing?

    What's the story for Lake Austin Ales?   Supposedly saw they were opening nowhere near Lake Austin (Burnet Rd), and they're offering a lot of hazy IPAs.  Trying to give Celis a run for their money with a good trio, maybe?

    They are contract brewing at Celis, so probably the same heavy-handed hazy recipes with a new label

    Shiner hazy ipa and session ale.....not good.

    Awful. I tried to write both into an article, but couldn't in good conscience do that to people with functioning taste buds.

    Somebody needs to call Cruz an fucking pussy motherfuckng Canadian.  Somebody needs to question his very questionable manhood.  Beto isn't the guy.

    Maybe a Bottlecap question. What are the best breweries in Austin for someone with a wife, a five year old, and a one year old?

    Oops. my bad. for future reference:

    1 kid: all breweries except maybe blue owl

    With more kids (i have three, kill me) I'd feel comfortable at: ABGB, Hi Sign, Jester King, Last Stand, Live Oak, Oasis, Oddwood (maybe, its kid friendly, but small), Pinthouse N/S, Skull Mechanix, Southern Heights, St Elmo, Family Business, Treaty Oak Brewery/Distillery (beer is terrible, cocktails tho), and Vista out past Salt Lick. I didn't miss any that I feel comfortable at, though your milage may vary. Vista is really my favorite pick w/r/t quality of beer, food, and overall experience. Live Oak is right up there too, but my kids are too wild for all that exposed rebar from ABIA construction.

    Sourduck Market already has both Violet and Lucifer’s Fake News on tap, and I live two blocks away.

     

    Sour Duck has been my new go-to. Whoever their buyer is, is on it.

    I suspect that even IF that hurdle is cleared at some point, there are still plenty of ways this whole thing can go sideways and not happen... and I know I'm not alone in that.

    So yeah, whatevs, Ohio can do their thing... still plenty of ways for this thing to tank.

    From what I've read from garber, there's wiggle room for austin to get an expansion. If crew stay in ohio, i think Austin gets the last expansion slot.

    And I'm all in on Waterloo FC, but its too rad to happen.
