Oh no, I am not a teacher. I do not have that kind of patience or ability.

I meant that you are the reacher in the relationship, reaching for someone or of your league. Like me. I have mad respect for other guys who land someone who is well beyond their level.

However. If I did yeah, I think I'd aim for what you teach. Math and science is awesome.

Edit: that was an unfortunate autocorrect.

Awesome, thanks for the assist

Sounds like they need to change their process to a lottery or something.

Is their beer that good or is it more of just high demand because of it being a Houston/Texas brewery?

---

I was able to get in on a pre-sale back in December, and it's good beer, especially Juiceton. Was it sell out in seconds good? Probably not. If you're looking for haze in Houston, Whole Foods makes some good beers that you can pick up anytime.

What beers should I ask my cousin to bring me down from Madison, WI besides New Glarus?

From my friend in Madison...

Central Waters has been putting out barrel aged beers pretty regularly so he should definitely watch for those. A couple of new breweries on the east side, too: Funk Factory, which I haven't tried yet but have heard does terrific sours, and Working Draft, which is some people I know who turn out some killer pales and lagers. Oh! And the Dare Mighty Things series from The Brewing Projekt. One of my current favorite IPAs is one they did with Citra, Amarillo, El Dorado, and Mosaic.

Now I got it... I just assumed you had misspelled teacher. And would you've believe I've had 0 beers this week...?

Speaking of Funk, anyone have any update or input on what these two breweries have been up to? Just curious.

• Funkwerks
• Collective Brewing Project

Collective did a Peeps beer for Easter....

Besides the Peeps beer, Collective has been pretty quiet recently. They've done a lot of different "brettshake" style beers. Normally they have some sort of adjunct to go along with Brett and lactose. Pretty interesting but not anything life changing. Hopefully some of their coolship stuff is coming along in the near future.

Thanks for the suggestions. He ended up calling me from the grocery store about 10 minutes before you posted, didn't realize he was going so soon. So I just had him grab a 6er of spotted cow and a 4 pack of raspberry tart. We tried FaceTime but without knowing what to have him look for, just went with the known good ones.

Didn't do the Peeps brew from Collective but my favorites are the Sour Red or Wood Folk which goes disto.

Dallas, will send you email manana. Congrats.

La Fours, serendipity from NG is the jam. Enigma too if in season.

Sounds like I should be sending YOU the beer.

Yessir. Serendipity, raspberry tart and Belgian red are all awesome.

Former Rockwell's owner finally getting her new taphouse open.. for you NW Houstonian's on here. 30 craft beers, with a crowler machine.

Off spring cypress and telge.

Happy for her and looking forward to visiting often, but I'll still miss that chicken fried steak.

This is a great beer from Cigar City.

Much better than the reg version. Gonna need to stock up.

Wood Folk is so stinkin' good

Not sure about Funkwerks, but Collective recently released a blueberry lime gose. Haven't had it since College Station appears the closest area to Houston that got it. They also have some distro in Cali now as well and seem to be doing more brewery-only beers along with club member beers.

Should I be worried about shipping beer from Austin after the bombing stuff?

Speaking of Austin, what do y'all think of these rankings? I think it's easier as a consumer to rank in tiers.

Any list that doesn't have ABW as #1 is trash...
Seriously though... ABGB as #1?

ABW is top 3 in my opinion, and definitely not 5th.

I also think Real Ale is too high.

ABW should not be below ABGB. Just my 'pinion.

How did red horn not make the list? Also, has anyone had one of these milkshake fruited ipas? Just doesn't sound right.

ABW definitely #1. Flavor Country, Pearl Snap and Peacemaker are insanely good

Speaking of Red Horn, what are a few of the top beers they have going right now? I plan on dropping by this afternoon and picking up a few crowlers for the weekend.

I think it depends on what you like drinking right now. They have a good range of their beer that you can take home in a crowler. They are really good at giving out samples, so I say go sample and pick your favorites.

I'm going to be outside most of the weekend, so looking for something hazy, juicy, etc..

Also, any of you local guys interested in meeting out there mid-afternoonish for a few beers?

That is a good question. I heard that a UPS store was going to look inside your package (back closer to the bombings), but I am not sure what will happen if you use a UPS drop off location. I guess the first one to ship will let us know how that goes.

Here is something to think about: I am planning (not official yet) to take a trip up to my brothers in Dallas, and I was going to hand deliver my box while up there. May 4th. It is a month out and may be too far out for the beer you have selected but I wanted to offer up my service to hand deliver your box and jah003's. You will just need to get your box over to me in Round Rock. I will let you know if the trip is confirmed. My wife has a baby shower to throw and I was going to take the kids with me to my brothers for the weekend.

I had their Hazy Simcoe last weekend and thought it was very good.

The beer outing is very tempting. I have a lot of yard work to do this weekend so I am not sure if I can make it. If I can it might be for 1 beer.

Thanks. I checked out their website and Hazy Simcoe is the one that jumped out at me.

I'll probably be out there around 3:30 or so, if you decide to take a break from the yard work.

I could maybe swing by around 5-5:30 today. I'd have to see if the wife would allow it...

I'm planning on being out of there by 5:00 or so. Got a few things going on this evening.
