Got those ABInBev big bucks and can now afford the licensing necessary for this.

I saw this was coming out awhile back and stalked the delivery guy at my local HEB to find out it will be available today. Looking forward to trying.

Um. Karbach had a relationship with the Stros before they were bought.

Plus they aren't paying to use the Astro Logo. The proceeds from the beer go to an Astro charity.

It is very similar to Ziegenbock

Seasonal kind of thing, or regular lineup?

It is Ziegenbock flavored but packaged in Astros themed cans so we can sell it at a $2 premium at Minute Maid.

Jacked 8th Wonder's branding oh and Saint Arnold Bar is just behind the Crawford Boxes at Minute Maid in case you'd rather drink an independent locally owned beverage.

Carry on drinking foreign owned beer and tiddling your sister for all I care.

I'm all about craft beer for 1 thing. Flavor. I could care less who owns what.

Also, the astros organization approached karbach on making a beer for them.

ABI resources and financial backing isn't why they are able to do this. Karbach got to where they are because of their marketing and this is just another example of how effective they are at branding and marketing.

Stay tuned for a few of the other upcoming brands. They have a hell of a lineup in the works for this year.

Had one Saturday at Minute Maid and it was pretty darn tasty.

Going to try and find some today.

You really think 8th Wonder or St Arnold's wouldn't have taken the inBev money if offered?

8th Wonder blows

Yes and I'd be happy for the founders and shareholders (including me) and then I'd keep drinking locally owned independent beers so more of the money stays in the local economy instead of going to industry lobbbyists fighting for more regulations that hurt small breweries or to their overseas hq.

I'm convinced the only reason 8th wonder has any following is their location.

Me too. And their great HOU sports themed marketing.

Other than SA, Eureka Heights is my favorite brewery.

I truly pity those that have never had a Rocket Fuel or Dome Fauxm on nitro.

Done Fauxms best characteristic is the fizziness and that's killed by nitro.

Rocket Fuel is their only beer worth a damn. Dome Fauxm is the equavalent to any InBev product. I think I'd rather drink from the Dome trough than drink another DomeFauxm.

It has a higher rating than Lawnmower on Beer Advocate.

Funny right? All of these snobs have their heads so far up their asses regarding local brews that they completely miss the answer that is right in front of them: just get a bunch of different local brews, mix them in a large bucket, and voila! Instant winner.

If you like it, drink it.

If you don't like it, don't drink it.

Pretty simple.
