I should've mentioned, the Lakeline Total Wine put out the Midnight Orange bourbon county 2018 today. I did not grab a bottle, was there for bourbon and they had it as limit 1 bottle between all of their behind counter stuff today.
Edit to add: meant to mention that they do their releases at that Total Wine mid morning around opening, so may be worth checking them out for Marta Light too I would think.

One of my favorite Odell beers
Not sure. New girl will be there tomorrow. Not even sure if she has tweeting capabilities yet. I'll let you know when I know.AgEng06 said:

Bourbon County Orange is cleared with TABC, picking some up tomorrow.
Thanks
Beer guy said it's probably already there. Can't confirm though.AgEng06 said:

Sweet. I was about to run some errands anyway, so I'll swing by HEB and TW and see what's going on.
Now it's officially there. If you could snag an extra bottle I'll pay you back.AgEng06 said:

Looks like lakeline got Marfa right now. They just posted it on twitter
I just got back to the office and saw this. I grabbed 2 earlier, so if you need one let me know. I also stopped by TW and got a Midnight Orange (almost had sticker shock on this one).
Side note: the new beer girl is a cutie.

Also she was not imposing a limit on bottles, so I bet they go fast. They have/had 2 cases.
Headed that way now. I'll let you if I don't get one.AgEng06 said:

My usual beer guys weren't at Central Market in Dallas so I only got two Midnight Oranges, they better be amazing for $23!
Got one. New beer girl was not having it... only let me have one. They've got about 1/2 case left.AgEng06 said:

Parrish coming to Texas in January. Launch party at Hughies on the 19th of January.
Whoop!
Cool.
She asked me how many I wanted, and when I asked if there was a limit she said "well we got 2 cases". I opted to just get 2 bottles, but now I wonder how many she would have given me. It appears she rethought her strategy after I left.

Dude, you're supposed to buy both cases and then post a picture of them in your trunk to all your facebook groups. Then you can be the nice guy who "sells them for cost plus a couple thank you beers."AgEng06 said:

Does anyone know where to get really good rare imports in/near CS? There was a great brewery on the coast of Germany and I'm trying to find it, but only end up with bigger names like Paulaner, Franziskaner, and Hofbrau.
The brewery was Stoertebeker btw if anyone was wondering.

You can try specs and see if they can order it for you. Otherwise you'll have to go to Austin or Houston. You could reach out to the brewery to out who their importer is to the US and email them to see where they distribute.
Last diamond juice hangin around the fridge ... good way to kick off being done for the year
Big Bend Brewing is shutting down on December 31st. At least we'll get one last pour when we're in Alpine next week.
Quote:
With heavy hearts, we announce that Big Bend Brewing Co. will suspend operations, including taproom sales in the Alpine facility, effective December 31, 2018.
Big Bend Brewing has always been a passion project for us. We wanted to create beer and a brewery that all Texans (and Americans) could be proud of. We've worked hard to share this dream with of with all of you during our 6 years of operations. We've had some tremendous successes: we won the Gold medal in the World Beer Cup for our National Park Hefeweizen (among 30 other medals in 2018!), we've built an amazing team, we've made delicious beer and shared it with wonderful people, and we've worked with some of the best partners in the business. We're proud of what we have built, and what we have accomplished.
However, throughout our time in business, we've also faced some very difficult headwinds. Some of them are well known to our loyal supporters, and others are new. Now, due to a combination of unforeseen hurdles in building our San Antonio location and the challenging macroeconomic conditions affecting investment in the craft beer sector, we find ourselves facing some tough choices.
We had high aspirations and lofty goals, and we did everything we could to achieve them. We want to thank everyone for all the tremendous support over the past 6 years.
We remain hopeful and are working hard to make the stoppage temporary. The goal is to come back better than ever. We are no stranger to adversity -- building a craft beer brand in the rugged frontier of West Texas is no easy task. While we work through our difficulties, we humbly ask you to show your support for our beer, our brands, our retailer and wholesaler partners, and our company's future in general by sharing a Big Bend beer with your friends.
Please look for a two very special bottle releases coming out soon, one in January and one on Valentine's Day.
Balls, I shoulda known something was up when the Midland market said they stopped packaging La Frontera.
I was trying to get some guys out west to bring some big bend to Houston but it was disappearing off shelves

Is the San Antonio project still moving forward?
My guess is no based on their FB post. Sounds like they may reopen at some point, but not any time soon.
So Marfa Light is #whalezbro now?
Seriously... that sucks. I was friends with Jan (owner I think) on Untappd, and he went dark about a month ago... should have known something was up.

Solid
And that sucks about Big Bend. Guess I have to savor my BA Marfa Lights.
Big bend closing hurts my soul.
Noooooooo, that's terrible news. They make wonderful beer, I hope they get back on their feet soon.

Closest we'll have is Brick Vault, but it's not the same.
And they don't distribute, so its back to bringing all my beer with me. Won't be able to pick up anything worth a crap out there.
I've got a BA marfa lights and a prince Charles that have been waiting for the next trip out. Guess they will be a little more special now.
I finished off that unlabeled BA Marfa Lights awhile back. I'm hoping they'll have something special on tap next week.
You're right about bringing beer. I'm certain the beer at Porters has been there for years.
