Still 4000 bottles of SPON left for this weekend at JK. Anyone want to goandpickitupformebro?

Uh, yes, me too.

I am about to leave to Austin. Still no word back from them.

Sounds like I may be going to Austin on Friday. I'm assuming they're going to be open?

Yep, open up at noon.

Didn't TABC confiscate Cuvee's crowler machine? Or was that just a rumor?

---

Yep, they did. Cuvee knew it was coming though. For some reason TABC had to confiscate the machine in order for them to actually file a lawsuit. So, Cuvee just kept filling crowlers until TABC showed up...

Has Cuvee said when they expect to get their equipment back? Any chance for an appeal by TABC to stall this in court even more?

Do they even get it back?

That's a good question. I had not considered that they possibly forfeited the equipment when it was seized.

Not sure... they made it sound like it would be back very shortly. Although, they never actually said it would be the original machine. Just that they "would be filling crowlers".

No idea about an appeal... kinda feel like TABC is done with this one and will move on to approving labels as slowly as possible.

Speaking of label approvals, any word on Deschutes XXVIII?

Word. Thoughts on how long it might take to get through the line if we showed up right at noon?

Really don't think it will be long at all. The neckbeards will either be out hunting Bourbon County #whalez or stuck at their grandma's house. If you can manage, I'd show up around 2 or 3.

The plans will probably revolve around a movie on Friday so we'll see what shakes out there. They have a cash line that typically moves faster right?

Also, are there any spots on that south end of Austin where some BCBS might be had?

Yes, the cash line does move faster, and is shorter.

Not exactly... they usually just go down the line and ask if anyone has cash. The whole line operation is really about as laid back Austin hipster as it gets...

I'm only familiar with the Bee Caves area (I come in off of 620). I know the HEB in Bee Caves will have it. There is also a Twin Liquors and Specs there as well that will likely have it as well.

Try the HEB on Slaughter Lane

I'll defer to jah on the cash line. I based my post from when Atrial was released this summer.

Doubt there will be a line. Bring cash and you'll be golden.

Thanks for all the tips homies.

Y'all are mainly talking about the bottles to go line right?

I'm a noob when it comes to this style, what does a geuze even taste like?

Have you had any lambics from Cantillion or Drie Fonteinen (3F)?

No can't say that I have.

Gueuze is typically medium to heavy tartness, quite funky, dry, and has cheesy, mineral, grassy, barnyard aroma. Some will have notes of oak, vanilla, and stone fruit flavors.

in other words, it tastes like an infected home brew.

I talked to a rep last Thursday night. He said it will not be coming to Texas at all. The story is that the label they made did not have the brewery location (normall on the top left of their label) which is required by TABC. The company talked about possibly printed new labels but eventually decided not to. I ever ask about getting some kids to come in and stamp the location on the label which he said they also talked about. Their team really screwed up on this one he said.

So all the allotment that Texas was supposed to get was sent to another market. Your best bet is to keep an eye out for it online on a beer site.

Also said the new variants of Abyss will be Brandy and Scotch barrel

I have a 375 of SPON batch 2 if anyone is interested in it. They have 2 sizes 750 and 375 FYI

I'll be in Houston for Thanksgiving. Does Brash can/bottle or are they draft distribution only?

What do you want for it? I have a hammer smashed face if that'll work.

I don't think they distribute cans yet. Your best bet is to go by the brewery and get crowlers and a few six packs there.

Anyone know if Deschutes Collage #2 made it to Texas? Was that a limited release in Oregon only?
