Roshambo was pretty good. Hopadillo negro tasted much better than regular Hopadillo to me but still just ok.

Avery White Rascal was deilcious!

finally got some roshambo and it was ok, still tasted significantly like hopadillo which wasn't surprising but I expected a little more belgian flavor to it.

looking forward to this, hits taps friday

anyone try any of the Fort Bend Brewing beers, saw them at HEB.

I tried the black IPAs from St Arnold - Icon Blue and Karbach -- Negro, both were excellent.

Saint Arnold was a bit more maltier and Karbach was hoppier.

Buffalo Bayou is tripling capacity.

Anyone have any idea whatever happened to this Town in City Brewery?

This was the last thing I Heard about it

and that was 5 months ago.

Just tried the icon red bohemian pils, really really good if you like Czech style pilsners

Real Ale Hanz's pils is on the same level and a little cheaper since it comes in 6 packs instead of 4 packs (like icon does).

Agree on Hanz Pils, it's good too. I like the icon a bit more but you're right that Hanz is clearly a better value. It's the only Real Ale beer I buy.

Finally tried some of the Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter the other day... Great stuff

GoAgs92...I bought a 6 pack of Ft. Bends Lightning IPA....not worth writing home about in my opinion. beeradvocate.com seemed to agree with me as well.

Fort Bend has some decent beers. Their IPA is probably my least favorite of theirs, and I'm an IPA guy.

Their Farmhouse Ale is probably my favorite of theirs.

the only FT bend I ever drank was at the Skeeters game on Fathers day, it was ok.

Looks like they're finally going to start construction this month.

Anyone else going to the Green Flash beer dinner at Crisp tonight? Me and some other guys are going, should be sweet.

Also, saw that Karbach's FUN 009 "Rodeo Lounge" is going to be coming out very soon!

I'm going to be skiing the day of the party, and I'm a little bit jealous of the people attending. Although I've had a LOT of those beers, being friends with the hosts of the show/party.

City Acre closing, Local Group, Holler, and others under new ownership, B-52 and an unidentified brewery up for sale. Seems like the glory days of the Houston Beer scene are over.

Chron: Another Houston brewery closes, others are going up for sale.

It's a brutal industry with a constantly changing legal landscape, fickle fans etc...

With grain prices about to spike I can't imagine the future of brewing. Let alone inflation and a possible recession.

What do y'all think of equal parts brewery?

Yeah lots of turnover lately

Hops have already gone through the roof. Tough time for small brewers for sure.

At least Yellow Rose is finally in cans

While I appreciate having one of Houston's best beers in a can, I found it an odd move with the current aluminum market.
