Eh. Comparing Houston and Austin to Dallas, I like my chances better here, thanks.
I'm just wary of beer festivals put on by distributing companies from personal experience, regardless of where they are. Thought you might like fair warning. They like to give you 5-10 tickets for 2oz pours, then charge 3-6 tickets for "premium" beers to taste.
Nah. They give you 12. Additional tickets of 12 can be bought for $2.
Also, the distributor carries more than just miller lite and bud light. Google is your friend.
Call me crazy, but a distributor that carries Stone, Dogfish Head, Spaten and Chimay is OK with me
But don't worry. I'll be here to rub it in your face come Sunday
Freetail gave them permission to use the image.
I worked in a bar for 4 years, most distributors are the same, trying to push stuff on you you generally don't want cause they are under pressure to do so.
I do hope you have a great time though, I wouldn't wish the experience I had 2 years ago at something similar on anyone. Take some notes and tell us if there is anything rare or really special!
I always thought 60 minute didn't have enough and 90 minute was maybe a bit much... sounds perfect.I think DogFish Head's 75 Minute Johnny Cask IPA is way better than the 60 or 90, had it last night:
My favorite is still Burton Baton, I have to try this one.
I heard they have 120 minute tonight at the saucer... if this is true, I envy everyone there. I wonder how much a glass would be.
They had a mini keg there not too long ago. Maybe 3 months. 1 glass got me a slight buzz.
I remember drinking the whole bottle once a few years ago and it and a palo santo got me borderline drunk. Probably my favorite Imperial IPA.
What is y'alls go to at Flying Saucer??
It'll be a great time. He updated all the breweries that are gonna be there and it looks pretty good.
One time I bought a 4 Pack of Palo Santo and a 4 pack of 90 minute, and I drank all 4 Palo Santos and I think 2 90 min and passed out.
I need to get Palo Santo again
Ananke release at Freetail tomorrow. I can't make it, but maybe they will have some left over on Monday.
First time having Chimay Grande Reserve, I know... smh, but it's really good.
My friend loves that .... i personally cant stand it but he drinks it like it's ing kool aid.
Palo Santo is a sipper for sure. A 4 pack will get me right where I'm buzzing very very hard. Anything more and I'm probably re ed drunk, but at 12% you can't around with that .
My girlfriend is not so big on the sours/tarter beers either. She loves kombucha though, and the tartness is usually about the same. More for me!
Yeti and Hop Wallop today... awesome beers.
Which Yeti? The Chocolate will hopefully be out soon, the best out atm is the Oak Aged. I think Draught finally floated their Whiskey Barrel Double Pecan Porter from 512.
Edit: Double Pecan Porter.

512 Pecan Porter is good. It made its way into a restaurant here in Dallas.
I take what I said back... I was confusing Ananke with Ankh. They had that a couple years ago and it was like sour black liquorice.
Ananke sounds like it wouldn't be up my alley, but I enjoyed Namaste and hopefully it's that type of wit. Less tart and mildly sweet is what I enjoy in a wit.
That sounds amazing. Where can I procure some of this?
And, by tha by, DPG, we still need to get together for a beer or two.
Just the regular Yeti Imperial Stout, that's about the only one my Spec's in Beaumont gets, and it's full of flavors I love it.Which Yeti? The Chocolate will hopefully be out soon, the best out atm is the Oak Aged. I think Draught finally floated their Whiskey Barrel Double Pecan Porter from 512.
Edit: Double Pecan Porter.
I know Ginger Man and Holy Grail both have had it. I'm sure Flying Saucer has it too. Holy Grail has had the Double Pecan Porter as well.
