Today's action started at Half Acre Brewing





For happy hour I went over to Sheffield's for a few beers and this 2008 Night Tripper:



Then it was time to head to my buddy's house to share some goodies I brought from home:



Finally it was time to find one other friend who happened to be at the bar BigAg and I went to last night, so I went with another bcbs cheery rye.  Life is good.

Had Founders All Day IPA last night. Really good, very hoppy smell, not too bitter. Lives up to its name

Do Austin Specs have any different options than Houston Specs?

I'll be passing right by the 290 & Brodie lane specs later today.

I would think so... Maybe some better Firestone Walker options? Also, JK, reale ale, hops and grain, etc. (all the Austin stuff)

Can't speak from experience, though, as I've never been to that specs.

Hit up the karbach tour yesterday. The hopadillo negro was solid as was the hellfighter (as always). The roshambo tasted exactly like a hopadillo - I did not pick up any belgian flavors. The love street was a little disappointing - did not taste like a kolsch to me.

The roshambo just tasted a little fresher & brighter all around over the regular hopadillo, which was nice

I've been growing my hair out specifically for head banging purposes. I want the full experience.

Stopped at the 290 & Broadie Specs in Austin (huge store).

Picked up a bomber of Lagunitas WTF, Firestone Walker Reserve Porter, and an Anderson Valley Bourbon Barrell Stout as well as a sixer of Firestone Double Barrel Ale.

Went to the Avery bigass tap takeover at parrys pizza today. Damn what a production. They had 680am with live broadcasting of their craft beer show. They had a breckenridge guy there, a Firestone walker rep and Adam Avery of course.
Twenty something Avery beers as well.
Unfortunately I forgot my damn phone at home, so not one damn pic!

But I had samael first; 17% English strong ale, then the beast, 15-16% grand cru, then the winter ipa an ipa with rosemary (way too much! Even Adam said himself he doesn't like it. )

I know they'll have plenty left, I should go back a few times in the coming days.

No Eyehategod this time around. Municipal Waste was the only band I was able to catch. Thrash metal. The lead singer was hilarious.

Anderson Valley Bourbon Barrel Stout


Solid meh. Probably the weakest bourbon barrel attempt I've had yet. Very mild bourbon flavor. Very thin mouthfeel. Weak finish.

Finishing up my bomber of Roshambo. Definitely getting more IPA tastes than Belgian tastes, but it's a good IPA.

Finally got my hands on a 6er of NB Rampant. Not bad but not great - I prefer a citrusy DIPA and this one is on the resiny side. Great value for a DIPA though.

I did. They were out of vanilla so I got the Port Barrel Aged Dark Lord. At the airport now and will post a report when I get home. I cured my hangover though, been drinking stouts all day!
