Pretty much every brewery down here with a decent outdoor space has a beer and yoga night each week.

There's an insane amount of stuff being released around BC recently. Just in the last couple days, I've picked up a limited "4 Grain" porter and Weizenbock from Steel & Oak, a new kettle sour and "Lemon Gin" saison from Bridge, a new sour and new batches of imperial stout and imperial IPA from Parallel 49, and fresh new batches of Nectarous and Juxtapose from Four Winds, just bottled a few weeks ago. I can't wait to compare Nectarous to the P49 sour. Still haven't been to Strange Fellows, even though it's right across the street from my jam space. Shameful, I know.

So I'm gonna be in Texas (primarily Houston, though potentially Austin as well) visiting family for a week. Is there anything I should be on the lookout for that I'd probably not find here in Maryland?

Just going to throw out random beers off the top of my head: Lone Pint Yellow Rose... get growlers filled because bottles have been inconsistent lately. Absolutely must try this on draft Live Oak Hef - you also better make sure to try this beer while in Texas. And it's now canned. St. Arnold Divine Reserve 16 (it's the hot limited release here though polarizing and you might not like this. I know I don't like smoked beers.) Karbach Chocolate Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter There might still be Lakewood Bourbon Barrel Temptress around, possibly other Temptress variants too Go to Brash and fill crowlers 8th Wonder Rocket Fuel (hopefully on nitro) Texian Charlie Foxtrot St. Arnold Boiler Room Jester King 750 ml bottles, specifically Biere De Miel and Noble King, but there's a ton of the big bottles on shelves here lately Austin Beer Works cans Prairie Bomb You might run into some bombers from Strange Land and have liked what I've tried so far Southern Star Black Crack Possibly Abyss or variants Pretty sure I've seen Boulevard Love Child sitting around but I have no clue about any of the new ones Bottle shops to hit are D&Q and the Smith Street Spec's. Hell just about any Whole Foods store will have a better than decent bottle selection plus you can grab a flight and drink while shopping. There's plenty of good beer bars, tough to suggest one without knowing where you'll stay. air- fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Mar 11, 2016 |

Today's adventures in clearance beer: Dogfish head festina peche 3 bucks for a 4 pack Bruery Autumn Maple 2 bucks for a 750 Haven't had either of these but why not for the price. I'm pretty sure some of these guys are starting to make too much beer.

Went into the beer fridge with no real idea of what I might want to have tonight. Came out with a 2013 Narwhal. I've never really loved this beer fresh, and even with a year or so on it I felt it was way too bitter and astringent for the style. It's always tasted like they added star anise extract. Apparently that goes away after three years because dear lord this is nice now. Comes off a lot like dark cocoa powder with a thick woody oak backing; if I had this next to, say, an Abyss with 18 months on it, I'm not sure I'd be able to tell one from the other.

Spanish Manlove posted:Cycle made the local news today. I took those pics and posted it on Facebook. My friend and I sat there for 2 hours after the release watching people bug the poo poo out of anybody who walked past the brewery. We saw little old ladies, homeless people, and disabled people stroll into the brewery, look lost as they went up to the bar and say "Wednesday, please" and immediately walk outside the brewery and give the bottle to 4-5 insufferable beer nerds. If beer nerds have no shame in bugging every single person who walks by a brewery at a release, hopefully they have no shame being called out online.

Ha, good. And St. Pete is awesome for people watching at all times, I would have loved to be there to watch that scene. It doesn't really bother me if they're doing it to drink personally but zero part of me believes those dudes aren't the ones instantly posting that stuff on the grey market for 5x the cost, and they likely don't have the capability to give a gently caress when you can flip poo poo for that much. Luckily cycle seems to be the only place where this still happens around here.

I'm thinking of heading over to Brooklyn and checking out Other Half this weekend, has anyone else gone? They tweeted that they're releasing cans on Saturday at 10 am, is it usually pretty manageable or should I go on Sunday to avoid a crowd?

Ok this is the Hunahpu roll call post. I would like to meet as many of you as possible because I like meeting people and all the beer goons I've known were cool in person. I will probably wear a pair of black basketball shorts and a blue Orlando Magic or Florida Gators shirt bc I really don't care about showing off my beer geek cred. I'm 6'3" and averagish build with long dark hair and a short full beard/goatee. I will probably be loudly complaining about how there will not be any beer available in my small Japanese village.

Ben Nevis posted:You'd recommended the No Label Perpetual Peace some time ago, which I got and enjoyed. Good stuff. I'm not into much else from that brewery and I imagine they've got a different seasonal in stores these days. My interest in Texas beer nowadays goes towards high quality but consistent releases like LO Hef cans and the Hops and Grain Greenhouse series. Which I guess helps because I should announce it... I'm moving to Austin. Ain't a bad compromise

I'm excited about visiting Live Oak's new brewery. 2 months of focused job hunting (aka treating it like a full time job) and got nowhere in Portland. I'm in IT but not specialized/experienced enough to be headhunted, and that scenario seems like the way to go rather than uprooting, heading out there, then seeing how it goes.

I think I found out how I am spending my next Tampa Beer Week. Anyone want to join, I need a good get away driver.

I'll be staying with an aunt in the Houston area and reliant on her for transportation, and we're probably not gonna be all that heavy on going to places for beer specifically, as she can't really drink, but there will be a few places that'll have a good drink selection.

South end of william's park has some bus stops that are usually crawling with panhandlers, as well as the adjacent street. https://goo.gl/maps/ouwvZJgM5MS2 That or just walk by cycle and look for some dude barking for mules like you said, shouldn't be too hard.

I was in Austin a few weeks ago for Jester King and to pick up copious amounts of LO Hefe for the wife and me (Of course two weeks later I find out that the Specs in Dallas gets both Live Oak and Hops and Grains even though they don't see regular distribution up here). I had a chance to swing by the new brewery. Although not as scenic as Jester King, there are few things in life as great as sitting under a shady live oak tree with a LO hefe and eating awesome food from the food trucks that show up there. I'm Jealous!

My wife dug out my 10 or year old SA hoody so I'm going to be that guy at the next beer event. At Binny's LP taproom and they have, for onsite consumption, $9 bottles of 2013 BCBBW. Soooo good. Less raisin and sweet than the last time I had it but still great.

Finally trying the Pfriem IIIPA and it's pretty solid, wish they had Notorious on to do a side by side but oh well. Oh and this spot in Wilsonville (The Beer Station) is doing growler fills of it for $18 for you PDX folks, they also have bottles of Perennial Sump which I hadn't realized made it here.

Drinking my first Tweak. Is Uncle Jacob's the base for this? Because this is way loving hotter than that beer is. And when I say hot, I mean "bad whiskey aftertaste" hot. Which is disappointing because the initial flavor is all mocha latte. But the backend is pretty bad. Maybe it's a harsh comparison but this is Black Tuesday-level: sweet and big with a bad alcohol end. Would not buy again.
