Petrol Station had a keg of Firestone Walker 17th Anniversary - which I haven't really seen on tap anywhere else - that lasted for 4 days and briefly into today. Gotta love the Houston Hype Train.. Don't hype up a beer like crazy and it might actually last more than a day!

You can blame Twitter/Spec's Beer Department/Divine Reserves/spreadsheets/etc. Even threads like this.

Everyone is responsible. Petrol led the hype monger for BB1 if I can remember. It is what it is.

My earliest recollection of the Houston hype machine was a DR release. That **** used to be wild.

Spec's Beer Department

They're the biggest offenders, to me. I'd really love to see what would happen if, instead of blowing up Twitter with hype, they just simply put the beer on shelves for their next 1 or 2 big releases. They won't do it, because they love the hype, but I'd be very curious to see how long that would allow a beer to last, as opposed to the 30 minutes to an hour or 2 they've seemed to average on a lot lately.

I don't think I look at threads like this on the same level in terms of driving hype as I do what Spec's and some others do on Twitter. There's a lot of reasons for that, and I'll spare typing them all out right now.

the hype machine is so aggravating. there was no way I could ever make it to specs for any of the special releases due to work, and I know a lot of other people are the same. It's definitely a good way for them to get sales but it has completely turned me off the whole special release scene.

BBA Temptress was at the Specs downtown last Friday, but I didn't get a chance to go because of the ice.

Whole Foods in Katy had their anniversary party yesterday, with BCBS, Somewhere, Sucks, and others on tap. I also won a bottle of FW 17th anniversary as a door prize.

Snagged a couple JK Ol' Oi this evening at the midtown specs. Hoping for a trip to jk later in February coming or going from Fredericksburg. I'd like to get my hands on some atrial rubicite.

Oh and there will be another microbrewery in College Station by the end of the year. They are called Tree Farm Brewing. I attended a private tasting event tonight. They served a beer they called American Wheat, an IPA and and another IPA that was brewed using a different yeast. They were all very good beers. Should be in stores by the end of the year.

Jester King Sours.

i threw in some extras (New Glarus), but I think I came out ahead. I got more beer than I shipped.

Same here, JK stuff. 2 Atrial's and 2 RU's. Also threw in a few extras and some glassware. I'm happy with it, most JK sours are a 30-40 minute drive away from me... RR, not so much.
