My keezer (with SECede bumper sticker!):

are those 2x8s for your collar?

2x10s

And I have pin locks.

Rusty - definitely better from the tap. I fell in love with lhms when I lived 30 miles from the brewery.

In a bottle...I win

on tap....I dropped a nuke into this thread

Regularly enjoy the Rahr & Sons or Dogfish head, but this week I picked up one of these:

I'm a fan of the new Real Ale Oktoberfest

"Little sumpin' sumpin'

As it gets cooler, this IS the stuff

Lagunitas beer is like a kick in the face with its flavor.

Aroma: Light fruitiness
Malt: Sweet, bready flavor
Hops: Low bitterness and flavor
Balance: Malt
Body: Light

Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer is a lively, refreshing ale with a natural citrusy flavor and distinctive cloudy appearance. This easy drinking American-style wheat beer has become our most popular offering, and the best-selling craft beer in the Midwest.

http://www.boulevard.com/BoulevardBeers/unfiltered-wheat-beer/

I like a lot of beers from Boulevard, although I haven't seem them in Texas too much. My family and I visited the brewery in Kansas City.

An assortment of what's in the garage right now...

The Rahr Section:


The Dogfish Head Section (plus a Stone):


The Brooklyn Brewery, and a couple of random singles:


The Rahr "To Thee Series":


Assorted "specialties":


Also have a 4 pack of the brooklyn dark chocolate, a sixer of Iron Thistle, a bottle of the Rahr Whiskey Warmer and 2 Snowmageddon's "cellared" right now....

Did anyone get a chance to try the Buckin' Bock from Rahr? Every time I went to try it at Flying Saucer they were out.

That Rahr Winter Warmer is intense. Never had anything else like it. I had it once when I did the brewery tour.

I also love porters and stouts. Old Rasputin is good. I haven't had Kona Brewing Co.'s coffee porter or Real's. Must try. BJ's PM Porter and Tatonka Stout are both legit.

Also, this thread is greatness.

I guess this is an american beer thread, I dont have any knowledge about american beers.

Randy,in my last photo, there is some "X33" a doppelbock that was brought back from Prague. It's strong, but good. If I could get some Ottakringer Helles or Budweiser Budvar Premium Dark Lager, I'd be all over it....

As for the Buckin' Bronc, I was just over at my parents house this morning and my dad has some of it in his fridge. Not bad at all.

...and Winter Warmer is good stuff, Whiskey Warmer is Heaven in a bottle

For Randy:









Tschüss!

looks like Saint A is going to mass produce what most of us have known for years...



i gotta keep it real and make em myself

Love me some Sailing Santas

Whenever I make a trip over to MN I'm sure to pick up a few four packs of this if it's in season. I'd put it up against any DIPA in the country.

New Belgium Clutch is on tap at BRC in Houston.

I live in Colorado (C Springs specifically).
Obviously, Colorado has sheetloads of Craft Breweries.
Our local one, here in C Springs, is Bristol Brewing Company.
It is FANTASTIC......all their beers.
So, when in Colorado, drop by & have a pint!.......and PM me first, I live within 10 minutes of the place.

This thread reminded me that I need to restock my beer fridge and beer aging fridge.

Just scored 2 bottles of DFH/Sierra Nevada Life & Limb and a 4pk of DFH Burton Baton. The weekend is not a complete loss now.

Burton Baton is a strong offering

Burton Baton!!!!!!!

/Scot

Oklahoma brewed

I guess I can't complain, but damn a beer thread on a third forum now?

Have to say.. looks like vast majority of these breweries are not in texas

Firestone with 3 wins in pale ale categories. Will have to keep my eye out.
Couple of texas brews in the winning circle as well.
Also, BJ's pumkin ale takes a silver..I remember liking it last season, will have to make an effort to get to bj's soon.

Firestone specializes in pale ales. Their brewer, Matt Bryndlson, is one hell of a brewer.

Just picked up one of these. Very excellent.

Yeah, that sounds like a winning recipe. The ONLY thing good about that recipe is that it is cheap to make.

Finally had the Burton Baton last night. I now have a new top 5

I'm looking forward to getting the Burton Baton, I haven't tried that one.

I picked up a Rogue Oatmeal Stout. Anyone vouch for that? Had a pretty good rating at Specs..
