Duvel is one of those beers that comes in 4 packs IIRC.
Not too shabby. I like it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to be on the lookout for it.

Yes..
I have six packs of Inversion, Obsidian, and Black Butte in my kitchen right now.
Weihenstephaner Korbinian FTW:
You won't drink more than a couple of these, about 8% ABV. Available at some HEBs in the Austin area, Central Market, better bierhouses. About $3 for a half liter bottle, $7-$8 when you can find them at a pub (I think Flying Saucer has them).
My wife and I are going to Germany this Oktoberfest season and a stop at the brewery is on the agenda. They make a very tasty Kristall for those hot days when you don't want something as heavy.
These guys know their bier - brewing since 1040. Not a typo, 10- ing-40. http://www.weihenstephaner.de/index2.html?lang=eng
Has anybody tried the Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout? Picked up a bottle and it is pretty damn good.
I'll be headed out to the Great Austin Beer Festival and look forward to sampling as many beers as possible.
And if you let us know when the Texas Craft Brewers Guild is having their festival, I'll be at that one too.
One note though, I thought I read in a beer column (Express News maybe or some online beer column) that there is some type of limitation (legal possibly) in regards to brewpubs participating in this type of festival. It doesn't sound correct to me but is there any possible truth in that?
The current TABC interpretation is that if any sort of ticket or entrance fee is involved, it cons utes a "sale". Currently a sale off a brewpubs premise is not allowed, thus brewpubs can't participate in a paid area of any festival or event. For brewpub beer to be given away off-premise, it needs to be given away for free.
We're obviously trying to change things to allow brewpubs to sell into 3rd party retail markets, short of that we'd also like to get a different interpretation of festivals.
Note that none of these laws apply to Texas wineries.
I tried a new IPA yesterday called Leafer Madness. Not too bad & was fairly smooth.
Description
Leafer Madness Imperial Pale Ale was created during the great hop shortage of 2008, but there is no shortage of hops in this beer. Brewed with large amounts of 2-row malt, Munich malt, and multiple hop varieties, this 9% ABV, 100+ IBU hop monster quenches the thirst of those who crave the lupulin!
i had to chug a rasputin last night. it was hard to kill. most disgusting ive ever tasted. let's just say i ended up tasting it more than once.
My new favorite beer...
I didn't take this picture
I had the Red Introduction ale at Blue Corn Brewery here in Santa Fe last night, and I swear the aftertaste was like concentrated bitter grapefruit. I like it more than I thought I would.
Nothing better than a woman that likes beer... Real beer.
I'll tell you boys/^gals what- for about 8 months I haven't been drinking much of anything that isn't nitro-packed..... which has caused some digestion problems for me when I try to go back to c02. Which sucks, because I'm sick of Murphy's and Boddington's and Tetley's and the 's expensive. I like to session about 60+ ozs in 20 minutes, and then take a bong snap. And I can't do that with c02 beers anymore. Not without puking it all up.
And thus I've concluded that microbreweries everywhere should start packing their ales with nitrogen.

sons just drink whatever gets you drunk. stop with all of this ridiculous nonsense trying to sound unique by claiming you drink all of these different types of beers that everyone knows taste like complete dog .
When you're white, you're white.
hit the bong tonight?
I'm not white, but I appreciate good beer
There isn't a bunch of choices here in south texas...
I tried a bunch of great ones in so cal and in northern cali/sierra nevada...
but since I've been back to texas I have found these are alright---and they sure beat the crap outta the miller/bud/crap out there...
they are;
Shiner Hefeveizen....pretty cheap and still tasty and stout
12 packs at HEB are usually only 12-14 bux
Gordon Biersch---either the blonde or the Hefe...pretty good -also found at some HEB'S
and my newest cheap fave---
The sierra nevada Kellerwiess Hefe
pretty damn good and cheap
the thing about the buds and millers is that you can drink about 10 and still only have about a mild to semi buzzz
but drink two or three pints of a good hefe and you have a strong sweet buzz that lasts for a good while and it really just makes more sense to get your money's worth...
BR knows what's up.
His head up his ass?
I set him up for that one didn't?
Darn, sorry BR.
anyhow
had 512 pecan porter for the first time the other day. pretty good
Had a St Horny Pablos Angry Roofer Chipotle Mango Chutney Stout the other day
FREE MARKETS
The same for France's wine industry.
