September 6, 20205 yr Once again, let’s take a moment to appreciate, beyond really tasty beers, really bad ass can art
September 6, 20205 yr If Modern Times rereleases Tiger Millionaire, grab all you can. One of the best hazys I’ve ever had. 10.5% too so it’ll put you on your ass. Sadly most of their really good one off stuff never sees distro.
September 6, 20205 yr Batch 2 of pretzels about to go in the oven. Okay so I’m still not a Marzen fan but Ayinger is pretty good.
September 9, 20205 yr Kinda cool, I guess. Would rather it were St. Arnolds or another brewery though. Karbach Brewing Company has teamed up with legendary Texas chefs Aaron Franklin and Chris Shepherd to release a new beer called Horseshoe Pilsner, the sales of which will benefit the Southern Smoke Foundation. The crisp, low-alcohol beer (4.5% ABV) was initially conceived as a palate cleanser, brewed specifically to accompany Franklin’s barbecue at the Hot Luck Festival in Austin. As the coronavirus pandemic wore on, Franklin decided to partner with Shepherd to add a donation element to the sale of the brew. According to a press release, the brewery expects to raise $100,000 for the Southern Smoke Foundation. Horseshoe Pilsner will be available starting October 5 at grocery stores and on tap across Houston. Edited September 9, 20205 yr by Storm the Field
September 9, 20205 yr I noticed on the last page, someone mentioned Karbach having a place to dump their bad batches in regards to the Aggy beer they're releasing. Are they known for having bad batches? I ask because back in April, Spec's was doing a crazy cheap sale on 24 packs of 16 oz. Karbach beers that were apparently originally intended for sale at Minute Maid Park. I grabbed a case of Crawford Bock and Love Street. The CB's were fine, but about half of the LS had to be thrown out. Completely undrinkable, horrible rotten egg smell upon opening. What's crazy is the rest were perfectly fine. There was no real pattern to it either. One would be normal, then the next 2 poured out, then 2 good ones, then 3 straight bad ones...etc. Never had that happen with any other case of beer before.

Little did I know that the bourbon would also be badass. It makes sense though. Anyone who puts that much effort into presentation will put effort into the product as well.
September 11, 20205 yr This is weird, and kinda sad. I stopped there a few times over the years and liked the beer and the atmosphere. Always hate to see friendships ruined by business. https://dallas.eater.com/2020/9/10/21430793/braindead-brewing-reopening-amid-dispute-between-owners-sam-wynne-jeff-fryman?fbclid=IwAR3XJg1LhL4zdAyC6Azdm2T2IHNet4Y0veoA-i7MEEUbBQ1zQFQZM8t6FFc
September 12, 20205 yr Speaking of labeling, Narrows Brewing has one of my favorite's: Lead the Way IPA. That's the shoulder patch for the 2nd Ranger Battalion that took Pointe du Hoc at Normandy. A portion of the sales goes to the Pointe du Hoc Foundation. And the beer is pretty good too. ]

September 12, 20205 yr I actually haven’t had anything since mid 4th quarter. Got a pork loin on the smoker.Once that’s done, game on

September 13, 20205 yr i was gonna ask how many cases of natty light have you yourself killed today, but this is close enoughOddly enough, I haven’t gotten into the rage drinking mode. Hell, I wasn’t even that mad.
September 13, 20205 yr Oddly enough, I haven’t gotten into the rage drinking mode. Hell, I wasn’t even that mad.I reached that point after you guys fucked us in 2011. My give a shit died that night.
September 13, 20205 yr I reached that point after you guys fucked us in 2011. My give a shit died that night.I would go full on rage drunk if that happened to us.But we’ll never be that close to the top

September 15, 20205 yr Lone Pint( Magnolia) Beer Keeper in my favorite pint glass from the South Hudson Institute of Technology. Braggot ale is an interesting style...not as sweet as the label implies.
September 15, 20205 yr I'm looking forward to Yuengling coming west. It's not great beer, but it will be my light beer of choice. It blows any macro lager out of the water, and I still have a place for that beer.

It has been available in Louisiana for a few years now, and I would grab a 12pk when I would go gambling at Lake Charles.

First time I really drank it much was my trip to Morgantown in 2013.
September 15, 20205 yr Yuengling is fine, but if it wasn't for nostalgia I'm not sure I'd ever buy it.

There are times when I am having company and I know they will neither enjoy nor appreciate my usual stock. When I buy American lagers or Shiner for them, I would buy Yuengling on the same occasion. On my increasingly more frequent trips to the east coast, if I'm at an eatery and all they have are the usual suspects and Yuengling, I actually enjoy it more than the other "crap beer." Maybe it's because I can't get it every day, but i do enjoy the taste, for what it is, at the price it is. Edited September 15, 20205 yr by slorch
September 15, 20205 yr If I'm going tailgating, kayaking, or in some setting where I plan to drink for an extended period of time I drink lighter beer. Less alcohol, cheaper, etc. Yuengling is better than any of the other stuff I'm drinking in that setting, and at the same price. Edited September 15, 20205 yr by Al_4_ISU

My brothers all really love it so I'd definitely have some on hand for when they came to visit.
September 16, 20205 yr Well one of them has 0.8oz more than the other and quantity is always > than quality, so....
September 17, 20205 yr It's about time they started bottling those in something smaller than a bomber.
