They even had to cancel/re-work Hunahpu's Day, IIRC. Oskar Blues should definitely help with the distro. Good news for all. Yeah, Hunahpu’s day a few years back almost had a riot.

AuburnSoldier 117 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 After spending all winter chasing rare stouts, I’m starting to enjoy IPAs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,153 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty lit right about now after that beat down of the turds. I was sucking Xocoveza down like water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deschutes is such a good brewery. OG (I first had their stuff in the late 90s) and still doing new and interesting stuff. My wife was out that way for work and ended up going there twice. She brought a bunch back. It's this weird sentimental favorite of ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have gotten it pretty good the last 18 hours. Right at 5", which isn't too bad except we were pretty much bankfull already. The river is up and it's gonna keep on rising. The good news for me is, this happens today....our local brewery releases the first canned edition of their stout....mmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily see them going the same-design-different-colors route for their different beers, at least at first. Going to be picking up a local milk stout today if my spot has it. We need more great stouts in that 5.5-7.5ish% range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has been begging them to can it. They recently released a scholarship beer for ULM. It's a really good beer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke, that's some next level ish. Having a Hazy Little Thing with lunch. I agree with @ShocksMyBrain's assessment. Great workday lunch beer, though.

Seems to be hitting nicely on the tropical fruit notes and a bit of bitter grapefruit. Not so much on the citrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,367 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I like Azacca. Some citrus/tropical yet solid malt backbone. Solid brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,367 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 After pounding some serious Hopslam over the past couple weeks, I’m kinda disappointed. Still a fantastic brew, but Hopslam is where it’s at right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnSoldier 117 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 As usual, you guys were right. Jai Alai is legit. I don’t think I’m going to find any Snake Handler in San Antonio, but there is some Hopslam in town. That and Big Bad Baptist are next on my list.

ShocksMyBrain 9,367 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Can’t remember if I shared this. Definitely scratches the NEIPA itch better than SN Hazy Little Thing. And you all know my feelings on New Belgium. For me to laud them on anything other than Lips of Faith is unheard of. Hits that pillowy, velvet mouthfeel on the palate, which is what I absolutely love about NEIPAs. Good hop flavor with low IBU(42). Yes, it’s no Treehouse, Bearded Iris, Weldwerks, Parish etc...but widely available and works in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs ~$60 round trip for us to get downtown and back. 40 minute drive each way. I will happily pay that any day of the week than 10 grand on a DUI charge. In addition to the cost, I would lose my job and any hope getting a job in the beer industry going forward. Plus losing license, community service, DUI classes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
