I haven't seen the Franziskaner here

You can get it for ~$3 at Specs or HEB.

Cool, I love Franziskaner hefe but never had the kristall. Like I said, it's rare that I drink foreign beers! Once I clean out some room, I'll add a few to the rotation.

Tailgating done right with BSD

Pre game....

Round 2....

Round 3....

Erdinger and franz are def both in TX: two of my wife's favorites for a while in her hef faze.

Tonight's line up included rahr's BBWW, karbach's frageelay, dfh burton baton, and then some scotch to celebrate the win

Victory beer....Rahr Chicken Ranch....because we're all getting laid tonight!

My lineup since game time (plus a few Odell Red's not pictured). Probably gonna finish with something barrel aged.

Jetch, im diggin that Pliny picture. That amazing beer is one of the few things that could improve that abomination of a stadium.

41-13 victories help as well

Pliny & Dark Lord ... Many thanks to BSD

Breaking into my Uncle Jacobs stash for a victory nightcap. This was a great season for Texas Aggie football. Cant wait until next year. Thankfully there's lots of great beer to drink between now and then.

I think Uncle Jacob's was my favorite beer this year...at least the first 6 oz. I was pretty numb for the second half of the bottle.

A photographical tour of my night:

Beers at the tailgate:
Hoegarden
Alpine Pure Hoppiness x2
Alpine Duet
Kern River Just Outstanding IPA
Pliny the Elder x3
Dark Lord

Inside the game was Miller Lite and then some Humperdink's IPA at the restaurant postgame.  Life is good.

defroach,
What did you think of the New Mexico chili beer? I thought they did a pretty darn good job with it and the roasty side of the Hatch chili really added some great background.

Ive never been a fan of chili beer but I thought it was better than most. It wasn't "spicy" like some (which was good IMO) but you definitely got good chili flavored. Not something I would drink much, but could be thrown in every now and then.

Tonight's starter beer

Pace yourself before moving onto that canola oil

I'm saving that canola for when we win the national championship next year!

Good seeing you at the tailgate yesterday. What a day!

Regarding the Franzy conversation at the top of the page:

It was pointed out in a later post that the Franzy pictures is their kristalweizen. Although is fairly easy to find Franzy hefe I have never seen Franzy kristal for sale. Franzy is excellent and I would purchase the kristal if found. Is it available in Houston?

I'm pretty sure franzy hef, krystal, and dunkelweiss are all available at specs. My wifey was drinking all 3 pretty regularly a couple years ago. Find a weihenstephaner hef, that's the pièce de résistance of hefeweizens.

I may stand corrected; searching on specs website, I see weihenstephaner kristal, not franzy kristal.

Ahhh didn't notice the kristall part.

Tine brewery note: while I was home for Christmas my brother and I hit up buffalo bayou brewery and we were both extremely underwhelmed by their offerings

NColorado what'd you think of the abrasive?

Closed out last night with a '12 GI Bourbon County Stout. Tonight's first beer is a RRBC Supplication while enjoying the fire out back. Vacation is almost over so I'll be enjoying this beer!

Jock - i thought their red ale was good/standard. the gingerbread seasonal was way over the top and barely drinkable.

Yeah thought their red tastes too much like moose drool which I don't like. The ipa was decent I suppose, and my brother went to the pisser to pour out the gingerbread. Got a pretty good glass out of the deal so it wasn't a complete waste of time. Not to overly ***** about my experience there but the parking was a pain in the ass. On another note I don't know if it was cause it was the Friday after Christmas but karbach easily had at least double the number of folks since my last visit

My brother invited me up to Austin for Jester King's 2nd anniversary party in a few weeks. Any of you Austinites going? Or does anyone have any suggestions for what I need to try while there?
