Having lots of imgur problems lately.

This Pliny is still good after 45 days.


A couple of other tasty beers from last week.

Anyone got a spare temptation out there? I missed that one when I was there.

pirate bomb is ****ing great. I was gonna trade my 2nd bottle but I don't think I'll get something I like as much as it in return, so I guess I'll be forced to drink it

I really want to try the Sin Mint but that didn't make it to Houston that I know of. We got FQ, Mole, and Raspberry but not the mint.


not to get in the way of yalls potential trade, but sin mint definitely made it to houston. I haven't been to jersey village specs in a few months, but when I was there regularly it seemed like they always had it in stock. not sure what part of town you're in, but you might try there. im sure other bigger specs locations got some too, but jv is the only one I'm sure on. hopefully they're not out of them now.

I'm jealous of those making it to jk for funk metal. back when it was distributed, that was the first sour stout I fell in love with and it's still one of my favs today. I might have to try to work out some way to score one.

rodenbach grand cru is the specs "import of the month" whatever that means. it's been ages since I've had one, the only rodenbach beer I've bought in the last year or so is caractere rouge. but for $12 a 4 pack, I had to pick some up. I seem to appreciate it more now than when I last had any years ago now. it's a really good value. I've set a couple bottles aside to sit on for a while, and I'll probably grab more.

Picked up a 4 pack of this at JK. Really picking up what these guys are putting down.

Never heard of that one before, I'll have to look out for it in Austin when I'm there next.

My Masters Sunday thus far:



Prefer the Southern Star Pilsner over the Deep Ellum one (a tinge sweet)

I'll have to keep an eye out for those two. I haven't seen them yet. With Southern Star it may just be that the blue can hides next to the Bombshell Blonde can.

The Deep Ellum Pils just got released this last week. I have not seen it in stores yet. My girlfriend's office got some on Friday though and she packed one in her purse for me to try.

The Southern Star I had never seen until Thursday. A company rep was sampling that, and 3 other beers, at my local Whole Foods that had a tap takeover the following evening. I couldn't make it, but they even tapped Black Crack and Buried Hatchet.

Aha. Then I'll definitely need to watch for it.

I love the Rye Pils, so I'll have to look for the Southern Star one.

I really like Spirt Animal. Hopefully I'll be able to find that one next time I'm in Austin.

Had another Counter Clockwise Swirl from Martin House last night. Really enjoyed it. Between that and Kafkaesque, Martin House is doing some interesting and good things.

Lightest turnout for a release I've seen in a long time. Maybe I missed the crowd.
We got to Jester King around 8 from Houston and the crowd was very thin. Really liked the Funk Metal and glad Ol Oi was back in bottles to go.

Yep. They were both really good.

I need some advice from those familiar with treehouse brewing. someone I've recently been trading with in Connecticut is likely going to the brewery on Wednesday and asked what I wanted. I know they make some heralded ipas, but I'm not sure which to ask for, which are even available, and if they're sold in bottles/cans/growlers. Julius is the one I've heard most about, so that would be awesome.

the best part is since it's so convenient for him, hes not wanting an arm and a leg for them. he really had his heart set on trying gotlandsdricka, so I'm gonna have to get one of those and maybe another jk beer that gets distribution. he loved the 3 lions I threw in last time so I'll probably do another and maybe some other real ale bombers. not sure how much beer he's planning on sending, but since I don't really feel like he's asking for fair value I'd like to throw in maybe a chocolate bbh or something from the bishops barrel/divine reserve series or something along those lines as an extra.

Don't worry . They are closed Monday and Tuesday and will update the website tomorrow night or Wednesday morning with cans most likely. As far as what to get they will only have 2-3 options probably so just get whatever they have available.

I agree, just ask him to get whatever they have canned and you won't be disappointed.

I'm curious as to the demographic on the Beer Thread... Where does everyone live? I'm wondering how far this beer umbrella stretches.

Anyone in the New England area? Florida? I know we have Colorado covered.

Dallas for me.
