Anyone else try batch 19 and surprised by how good it actually was? Was at heb this weekend and they were sampling it, I tried it and bought a 6 pack. Didn't drink it til today but was pleasantly surprised at how much taste it had and that it went down smooth with no ty after-taste. Would definitely recommend it.

Oh damn. Where?
Nm, Austin list sorry. I know if you sign up on their site for the newsletter they email about current events near you.
My hook-up at the local, Denton specialty beer shop.
How were both?
DR13 is still in stores here in Beaumont, I believe.. and on tap on some places.. I'm curious about that Game of Thrones beer..
Had some Whisky Barrel Double Pecan Porter on tap last night at Draught House, very tasty. I have it on good authority they may do another batch before the end of the year![]()
Craft Brews Slowly Chipping Away At Big Beer's Dominance
In the U.S., we drink $200 billion worth of the hops-brewed libation annually. What many Americans might not know is that most domestic beer, 90 percent in fact, is dominated by just two companies: Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors.
Innovators, however, are challenging that dominance in the form of craft beer breweries. Small mom-and-pop-style breweries — or regional breweries — now account for about 6 percent of domestic beer sales. That may seem like a small number, but it's been growing every year since the early 1990s, while big brewers' share is declining.
There are now more small breweries than there were before Prohibition, when beer was largely a regional business.

As I sit here at work, surrounded by morons, my mind can't help but cycle back to that case of Pabst Blue Ribbon sitting the ice chest/coffee table in my living room/bedroom.
