Had Abita's Save Our Shore pilsner Tuesday evening which was pretty nice and at a good price, I'd pick it up on a fairly regular basis.
Last night – this may or may not be craft – had Mons (canada) Abbey Blonde...not a big fan of the style at all but it was probably the most flavorful I've had...B+ We've got two more Mons beers to try....one a Dubbel and I don't remember what the other one is
Planning on another trip to the store in the next couple days for new to here high gravity beers from Tallgrass, Tommyknocker, Rogue and Red Brick
I'm really really loving the Lazy Magnolia Timber Beast but now am wishing i'd bought a couple more 4packs...I got three....because there has been a huge run on it...gonna be hard to find for a little bit I guess. But it's definitely a keeperAll I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all0 -

The Holy Grail. A place in town had a keg a few weeks ago and sold $10 10oz. tasters for charity.0 -

it's kind of hard to do that when the beer takes the crown as best beer in america for the 4th year in a row according to the AHA...
I've never got to try it either... Russian River does not do business in the state of TX... like so many other breweries who don't deal with the backwards policies of the TABC.... Anyone wants to hook me up I'll make it worth your time...
Did manage to get a bottle of 75 minute IPA there yesterday... I know I'm late to that boat, but can't wait to try it... I've been off work since Tuesday, got a try a pile of different beers:
Brackenridge - Summerbright
Live Oak - Big Bark
Brooklyn - Summer Ale
Avery - Salvation
Red Hook - ESB
I know there's more... i just can't remember 'em all... problem is I try not to judge a beer until I've had at least 2 glasses (or 2 bottles, depending on the size of the bottle), so I don't log them in my BA reviews....Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.0 -
Question for you Stone fans...
I've got a complete set of the Vertical Epic Ale series. Obviously, we're only five months away from being able to enjoy these brews. A buddy and I have been discussing whether or not it's worth it to keep the set or sell 'em.
While I've thoroughly enjoyed a bottle of each through the years (except the first one), I've seen 02-02-02 go for as much as $600 bones on the 'bay. The complete set for about $300 more.
I've suggested selling the first bottle, enjoying the other 10, and having cash in my pocket. My buddy says I'm crazy, and that it's worth the experience after holding on to it for over a decade. The way I look at it, five-and-a-half bottles each, and we will quickly forget what 02-02-02 even tasted like! Anyone have thoughts on the matter?0 -
got my June shipment of beer from the "Rare Beer Club" yesterday... looks tasty... I can't remember the names now, but I'll snap a pic of the two bottles when I get home and post it for everyone to "oooh" and "aaaaahhhh" enviouslyHouston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.0

Had Cigar City's Cucumber Saison last night. It was very different and worth trying, but I couldn't finish my second glass. The cucumber flavor was just too much to polish off a 750ml bottle by myself.I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.0
