Not bad! If you don't like watermelon, don't get this.
Ergh....I am ok with watermelon, but I could barely get through a 3 oz sample of this one. Waitress said it was definitely a divisive one. People either loved it or hated it.

Can't say I was a fan either. To be honest though I never think Watermelon flavored things taste like actual watermelon. They taste like things that somebody is trying to make taste like watermelon. As a result, love watermelon but hate watermelon flavored things.

Anyone ever been out to Blue Owl? Pondering a visit there on Saturday after a Friday night at JK.
I have. It is a pretty small venue, but worth a visit if you like their beers. Added bonus, it is walking distance to Hops&Grain and Zilker.

A shout-out to LaFours who gave me a heads up that this had hit town!

Finally had some time to upload a few images after unpacking from our recent Napa/San Fran trip. We took a group of 10 Aggies up there and were able to hit Russian River and Sante Adairus laong the way. Russian River was amazing and we were lucky enough to snag a bottle of the Batch 5 (10/09 bottling) Temptation to share, which was drinking absolutely incredible right now.



I was also fortunate enough to execute a couple trades up there for a few goodies along with grabbing a couple extra bottles from some shops. The highlights are definitely the 2 Rare Barrels, SARA Cellarman, and Logsdon Peche n Brett. Oh yeah, one of the traders also gave me a Batch 1 (2009) Lost Abbey Duck Duck Gooze as an extra. Who even does that?! Just absolutely incredible and something I cannot wait to try out. Needless to say, it was an excellent trip, and we need to have a Beer Thread share in the near future so I can bring a couple of these bottles to share with you guys.

I leave the country July 10th and don't return until August 20th. Other than that, I say we do it any other time in Austin.

Luckily this one is 9000 bottles and will see distribution, so hopefully us Dallas folk can snag a couple bottles up here. It does sound like a pretty fantastic combination of ingredients used to make this blend.

My Dark Lord aged in Sauternes barrels arrived. Now I just need the Port barrel aged DL and I'm done shopping for a while. And I need to open some older bottles up.

How many of my future children do I need to offer as a sacrifice in order for someone to snag me one?

Got lucky that the HEB right by my office tweeted that they got Parabola right as I was leaving for lunch. Never tried it so really pumped I got one.

Austin did not get very much at all. 6 bottles to most HEBs.

Finally was able to go to specs and found out that they sold out of all of that Lagunitas in a few hours yesterday. That never happens here.

So with rough and dirty math, the article says 16K barrels a year.. Let's say half is bottled, half kegged

Bottles: 8000*31*128 oz. / 12oz per bottle = roughly $2.6m bottles, at average wholesale price of say $5, that is $13m..
Keg: 8000*31/5 is ~50K 5 gal kegs, at $80 a piece wholesale, another $4m

So maybe $16m+? Man that seems like a lot of revenue for such a small brewery. About $1000/barrel of beer, or $32 a gal. or $.25/oz (blended bottle/keg)

Have no idea their margins though.. lots of factors for a brewery like that with all the barrel aging and intricate beers.

very quick math, maybe there's a mistake.

OK, well carry on.

If you live in Austin and have a pulse you'd be dumb not to come out to Oasis Brewery. Come for the decent beer... Stay for the views.

Drinking a Fantom at Jester King right now. Tasty and complex.

Hipster count very low

When they wait to announce until the day of, the Hipsters and Mules can't get their groups or trip together.

For any of you guys way up north in Austin, the Leander HEB has both Abyss variants. You have to ask for them (lady's name is Kristina).
