Pretty good. It is light on the hops from what I expect in a DIPA.

think I'll bask a bit in my uncle's glory.

he took home two medals in the Rocky Mountain Homebrew Challenge. It was held at the falling rock in denver.

Silver for his braggot, and bronze (out of 22 entries) for his strong porter, a black butte 23 anniv. clone

We just got our shipment of Bishop's Barrel! We already tried it and it's a WINNER!! Great beer but not too heavy on the bourbon flavor like some other bourbon stouts out there.

We will be putting it out tomorrow at 2pm along with a couple of other specialty beers!

CHEERS!

Had it in Houston today and I will say it is pretty good. Can really taste the bourbon but not overpowering, and very smooth. Definitely worth the try even if it is a little expensive only being released in bars.

If anyone in CS wants to go to Obannons and pick up 1-2 of each of those and then ship them my way, I'd make it worth your while.

Can't leave the bar with it.

Damn; it was half in jest, half serious. A couple of places around town here in Houston are supposedly going to serve them closed so that they can be taken home.

Yeah most Houston spots just sell them on premise to-go

My concern is that most Houston spots are already sold out of all 3; if Obannons still had some I was going to try and take advantage of lower demand there.

AggieOO - are you actually in CS? If not, can someone there or even Obannons chime in on the possibility of the above? Thanks guys.

All 3 are very tasty!

Rahr rep showed up with some 'Visionary Brew' (Black IPA)! VERY Good as well. We'll be tapping that on draft later this week!

So would you guys be able to sell them closed if a customer wished to age them? Or is that a no-go?

From what I understand, a bar with a liquor license cannot sell bottles to go. I also doubt any bar with a liquor license that was considering letting a few people take some out would advertise that on a message board. I'd advise you guys to go in, spend lots of money, tip well, and ask in person.

Well not exactly a message board, but:



Looks like they aren't bashful about it.

Petrol doesn't have a liquor license though.

(again, this is just what I've heard, I don't know the actual laws)

Ah maybe that's the rub. Damn. I'm not in CS anyway, so it was a long shot to begin with.

Petrol doesn't have a mixed bev permit, so they can sell bottles to go. Same with Hay Merchant.

BSD,

It depends on the type of license they have. Some accounts have an on/off license which enables them to sell unopened beer just like an off premise account. You don't see it a lot but there are some out there. They usually will advertise by saying "Beer to go". I have a handful of them with that license in Dallas.

I do think there is more to it. I talked to Tiffany from Rockwells about this a while back. Just having a beer/wine permit doesn't automatically mean you can sell sealed beer to go. IIRC, there are two beer permits, one that allows 'to-go', and the other one doesn't.

now wine is different, you've been able to cork a bottle and take that with you for quite some time, I believe at any type of establishment. Much safer to allow customer to bring it home opposed to them drinking it all because they spent $50 for the bottle and don't want to waste it.
