Yup. North side of Reed on Kimbrough between the entrance to Reed and Olsen (Closer to the entrance of Reed). Should have a Piwonka & Friends banner hanging up as well.La Fours said:

Looks like my wife and I are taking a last minute trip to Vermont and Boston in a couple of weeks. So far on the agenda:
Hill Farmstead
The Alchemist for some fresh ass Heady Topper (we are staying 2 nights in Stowe, so will only be a mile or so away from it)
Lost Nation
Trillium
Any other places to check out? We will only have one night in Boston. Advice on where to stay and a nice beer place for dinner would be appreciated.

Still waiting on some things from work to pan out, where is a good place for someone without a parking pass to park?
Also, where exactly are y'all?
You can buy a prepaid parking pass online at https://tamu.pmreserve.com. Buying online prepaid guarantees you a spot at the lot or garage you choose. Not a specific space but just that there will be a space for you. The prices vary from $30-$85 depending on where you park. There are some lots off of George Bush where parking is $20 cash but I bet they fill up fast and it would be a bit of a hike to Reed from there.
You can also park in downtown Bryan and take a bus. Not sure what the cost is to park there though.

Here's a Vegas restaurant/bar list that I put together a while back. Overall, Vegas isn't a real great place for craft beer.

In Boston, Night Shift and Mystic are worth checking out and are only a couple miles apart. Was just up that way last week visiting my wife's extended family. Danger! Danger! at Mystic was one of the best IPAs we had on the trip. For dinner, Lord Hobo (bar, not the brewery) in Cambridge is great if you aren't looking for anything fancy. Great beer selection and we enjoyed the food.
Thanks for the list, I seemed to remember it lacking any real craft beer but was hoping that might had changed in the past 5 yearstxag2008 said:

Awesome. Thanks for the rec on Lord Hobo. Looks like a good one.
Is Cambridge a decent area to stay in for one night in Boston? Hotel prices in Boston are stupid. Like... more than what we paid in Manhattan at Christmas time a couple of years ago.

Row 34 is worth checking out for dinner as well. Right next to Trillium and normally has a really good tap list.
Also I would suggest going to Burlington in Vermont. Burlington Beer Company and Foam Brewers have been putting out a lot of great stuff. Waterbury isnt far from Stowe and Prohibition Pig and Blackback Pub are worth a stop.

Somewhere in this general area
Finally have a minute of down time to recap my beer adventures after visiting NCol at WeldWerks two weeks ago. Sorry for the length in advance.
In Ft. Collins, we hit up New Belgium, Odell, Zwei, and Jessup Farm Barrel House. New Belgium was cool and I really enjoyed the uniqueness of Jessup. They brew at Funkwerks and then transport everything to their barrel house/taproom. They had your standard barrel aged stouts/sours, but also some gin and tequila barrel beers that were solid.
We headed down to Denver on Sunday and made stops at Odd13, Cerebral, and Our Mutual Friend. Cerebral was the standout with awesome IPAs, sours and an outstanding stout that we unfortunately missed crowlers of. Cerebral served their flights in beakers, so we were drinking for #science.
Monday night, the reason for our trip, we headed to Red Rocks for Sturgill Simpson. Amazing show and atmosphere. Had beers before the show at Falling Rock, Pliny and Casey Blackberry Fruit Stand were a good start to the night.
On Tuesday, I flew to Boston to meet my wife. We were celebrating her grandmother's 95th birthday and turned it into an extended beer trip. We made brewery trips to Night Shift, Mystic, Trillium before taking in the Astros/Red Sox at Fenway (hopefully the Stros keep it going today).
We also took a few drives to the new Tree House facility and up to Portland. Tree House was nuts, but the line moved efficiently and we got our case to go. We hit up Bissell Brothers and Foundation in Maine and my wife also snuck in a trip to Allagash and Battery Steele while I was still in Colorado.
Finally made it home after 10 days of drinking and realizing and I can't and shouldn't drink like I used to. We checked three bags and a box of beer and still had to ship one box home. It finally got here yesterday and all beer made it safely. Final haul -
Tl;dr - lots of good beer in Colorado/New England

Thanks BMAC. We will be in thus area about 4-5 spaces towards the West Campus Garage from the Reed Arena entrance on the north side. Banner will be up. John with New Republic will be there at some point as well, so you will see a kegerator.
I hope you are chilling down at least a few of those
Grabbed a Crowler of Redhorn's Raspberry Lemon Berliner tonight for the share. Will also bring some JK stuff as well... Should get out there around 3 ish.
Ready to drink in celebration or drown our sorrows!
I have to go in to work tomorrow!
Damn. That sucks. Sorry bro.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
It happens, I took off today for the Astros game and have some stuff to catch up on because of it. Should get out of there well before kickoff. Y'all drink some good ones.La Fours said:

So is thing going down in G or E? 1:30? I park in O
If you are heading to the game this weekend and venturing around West Campus, I'll be pouring 11 Below beers at our tailgate.
Basically lot E. north side of reed. Look for a banner that reads Piwonka and friends.

E. 2ish. See the picture above that BMAC marked up around Reed.
I've picked up some cups and water for us.
Gabf last night was pretty awesome- pretty overwhelming.
Drank beer instead of taking pictures, but pretzel necklace:
And a pitcher of utopias:

Why not?!?! Cargo shorts can carry anything!
Except a conversation with a woman.

****. Should've bought tickets.
If you happen to grab some extra MtV, let me know.
Tine folk,
Whole Foods Market Brewing is killing it right now. If you haven't tried it, you should. I'm hoping their beer is available on Prime Now at some point.
