Our route from DeKalb, IL to Columbia, TN took us through Muster, IN and we hit right at 11:15 so we stopped at 3 Floyds for lunch. I had a Zombie Dust which was awesome and finished my mother's Jinx Proof (which pretty decent) because she was too full.
They have an adjacent store so I picked up two Moloko bombers, a Risgoop bomber and a sixer of Alpha King. Awesome place and highly recommend.

Mmmm, Zombie Dust.

Does anyone know if Texas is getting the New Belgium/Alpine brewing collaboration named Super IPA? I picked up two bottles and was wondering if I should bring them back or drink them and save room for other Cal brews.

Drinking this one now....



First gluten free beer I've had. Will also be the last.

Second of the night....



Giving this one a solid "meh".

Fours, how did your bomber of Vampire Slayer compare to the keg version at O'Bannon's? I didn't have any.

the gf picked me up last night and handed me a bottle of this:

probably be a couple weeks before I pop it open, but looks interesting.

Anyone know where Henniger beer can be bought in Texas? No luck @ Spec's. Bought this beer in Franfurt DE a few years ago.

gracias

army01.. that beer was awful, I had it on draft (luckily as part of a flight, not a whole pint!)

New canned summer beer offerings for this year:

http://www.craftbeer.com/pages/news-and-events/news/show?title=craft-cans-summer-2012-update

and an interesting website, can see all current can offerings, map style.
http://www.craftcans.com/db.php

or see the list as pics of the cans themselves..
http://www.craftcans.com/db.php?search=all&sort=beerbrewery&ord=asc&view=img

headings at the top so you can list by state, brewery, etc..

pretty exhaustive effort I'd say!

Marooned - I did not have any off the keg at O'Bannons.

The bartenders really liked it though.

And I have also been working through a 4 pack of Tweason'ale. Like army01 - it's a meh. Very sweet. Almost too sweet.

Tonight is a Rahr Gravel Road cask and then draught beer specials. It might be the night for the Mexican Chocolate beer ... or the Vanilla Porter. Maybe.

i saw the head brewmasters from No Label are at Washbangers tonight for you CS folk doing pint night

What style is the Gravel Road? I just kinda want one of those glasses

and also it made me jam some GRAVEL ROAD in my office just now

Gravel Road is an altbier.

Just saw this on the bookface.

I might actually buy one if I come across it. Not really of fan of Jester King's beers. But this one seems more drinkable than the others I've tried.

one of my reps is off to cali this weekend. told him to bring me back some RRBC. I'm not holding my breath that he remembers.

Had this a few weeks ago at Jester King. Out of the 8 I tasted it was my favorite.

Looks like Southern Star ProAm DIPA started hitting shelves today, lookin forward to trying it

Real ale coffee porter. Finishing up last years stash - new bottles should be on the shelf before too long.

Anyone? Anyone?

BSD, I think you're safe to drink them. I imagine distro will be wide. It's already dropped on the east coast as well. Apparently there is some sort of UPC code issue with these lips of faith beers. According to a NB employee who posts on BA, they only use two sets of UPCs for the LoF series. There is still a bunch of Tart Lychee and Brett Beer in CO so it hasn't even hit shelves here! There's a thread on the Mountain forum on BA if you want more info.

Long story short, I imagine it'll pop up in Texas soon. If it doesn't, I'll add some to your stash for the Florida game.

Here's the link if you're interested. NB employee jumps in towards the end of page 2

Thanks. I'll kill em tonight. I have one Firestone Walker double jack and 11 empty spaces in my WineCheck to fill. Let's see what happens...

I found a nice little brewpub in Southern Cal...



Here is the Nelson Golden Rye IPA 

Everything from Alpine is killer

Damn right! If it wasn't 30 miles back to tha hotel (classic song), I'd stay for a few more. But since I need to get home safely, I only ordered these after the Nelson...

Duet IPA
BBA Token Imperial Porter (holy hell balls good)
Firing squad quad (suck me sideways...wow!!!)
 

Oh, and a taste of Captains Stout.

Interesting...

I'm currently at Toronado in San Diego enjoying a Pliny the Elder. Life is good but is about to get better.

Next up is Societe Brewing Dandy IPA. This is one of the guys that was at RRBC and the other was a St Arnold's guy (I think that's the story)...anyways, this is a very good beer and I hope to taste some of their others while I'm out west.

And BOOM goes the dynamite!!!



RRBC made this for Toronado's 25th anniversary. Sorry Jetch and NColorado, it's a bar so they won't let me take it out. Had to drink it here.

Sh*t, I saw that on thier FB last week and got a bone. What's the verdict?

They brought in hazmat to clean up my mess. But just wait for my next beer...

i need to get out on the road more often for work.

Enjoying a bomber or two of hop juice

I just don't have the words...
