Celebrating a 9th anniversary of a trip through all that.

I think I'm going to fail my mission the beer selection sucks here. But I'll keep trying.

Bought some Sierra Blanca Alien Imperial Stout 4-pack for $4 while picking up some Zoe and a Very Angry Beast. Not that bad considering the price. Not that good either.

Wow, this Old Guardian is SYRUPY...not enough hops to balance for me...all candied fruit with some booze and a whisper of pine at the end...as it warms the sweetness mellows a bit...but still needs to chill out. Better with age??

NColorado, I saw your post earlier today on the Firestone BBA, I really hope to see it here in TX. I thought we were out of luck on FW brewery until I saw plenty of there different beers in the DFW area this week

Iron Swan ale is legit! The more I drink it, the more I love it...

Real Ale keeps making me like them more with every release

Couldn't agree more on Real Ale, the first beer I tried at Flying Saucer years ago was Fireman #4. I always try to make time to go by the brewery in Blanco when we go to the hill country

I saw that iron swan sword beer.. does that anything to do with the band The Sword?

Well, dumb question.. the font is exactly the same, band must have something to do with it.

I actually got a chance to talk to a FW rep today about DDBA. He told me its here, but just sitting around waiting for TABC approval. He said it should drop sometime in September in Austin. I was also told 30 cases for Austin... which is pretty low. I think Parabola was close to 60.

In other news... Had a chance to attend a Firestone Walker tasting, went and had a few beers at Hops & Grain, and had a beer and some fried jalapeños at Black Star Coop. It was a solid Friday afternoon.

In my opinion, their beers are good, not great, but their brewery tour is awesome. They were only open on Fridays back then, but it was definitely a good time, probably my favorite tour so far.

That's good to hear, every time I ask someone about FW here in Houston I get a blank stare followed by a "never heard of it"

Texas, cali, Washington. Bonus state of Colorado (went to four corners). Selection sucks, so I'm doubling up.

Broke out a 2010 Real Ale Sisyphus tonight. It was a little strange to me in a way that was hard to put a finger on. Maybe too long (or not long enough?) in the cellar.

Gave up on the states. Came home and cracked a bottle of 012012 Celebration Belgian Quad. Aging nicely at about a year and a half.

Uncle Jacob's is hitting Austin today, I'm going to commence searching/calling around pretty soon.

Edit... no luck today. I'll check back on Monday/Tuesday (when the stores get their next shipment of beer in).

Just had a taster of Petras red. Don't know who makes it but it was pretty damn good. Just didn't want to drop 10 for one beer

It's been 5 years since I've had a beer at BJs but I remember the Jeremiah Red and Tatonka imperial stout being good.

Army01.... Went out to Revolver today. I went back in May and I'm shocked how much it's grown in just a few months. Spent a good hour talking with Grant (head brewer, former Sam Adams senior brewer, class of 84) and his wife. Really nice people. I think Revolver is in great hands with Grant. All 4 of their beers are great and I'm really excited to see where they're going.

How did I miss that Grant is an Ag?!? Definitely puts out some solid beers.

Hoping that there might be some Uncle Jacob's left in Austin next weekend. No one in FW knows if we are getting any.

Have to agree with most folks on here about Icon Gold...it is awesome. Best Icon to date...and even better on tap at the Saucer for $3 post 28-hour overnight call in the NICU...
