Fargin sent me one last year, good stuff. Def wouldn't mind another to show up at my doorstep errr leasing office. also sippin on this:
Alert: Snake in tall grass!...I repeat, snake in tall grass... jk its all yours..spent too much recently already per the wife and yes, I have a Jester King Weasel Rodeo and St Arnold Pumpkinator still lying around...the one pumpkinator I had was incredible IMO
It is definitely getting better. Karbach and Jester King are putting out some good stuff for being so new. If they could just get the laws changed and allow on site sales and allow brewpubs(Freetail) to distribute, then it would prob start taking off even more. Also, chasing limited beers in Houston is fucking crazy.
Yeah Texas seems like a huge untapped (pun not intended) craft beer market to break into or set up a brewery in it's "relative" infancy. Reminds me how the guys at Sweetwater are from Colorado and came to Atl during the Olympics and saw that they didn't have a local brewery. So they decided to move out and start SW. Nashville seems like another untapped market due to the states shitty beer laws.
TC I want to buy masters cleaners so bad and turn that into a brewpub. Awesome location and little work would need to be done. Wish I was older and
Did any of you guys get Bourbon Barrel Aged Sierra Nevada Bigfoot? One of my stores had it and sold out before I even knew they had it. My other store didn't say anything about it, so their distro could have gotten it after their distro date, this is the case.
Yep and while we're on the topic, I just got a package from my secret admirer in the mail today If you want to know what it takes to get one of these from Iron Mickey , I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with "tucking wiz sick".
if anybody wants to save me some hopslam, i plan to start trading some once i get settled in my new house in a couple weeks anybody who says yes
It really is. The biggest problem is the laws that prevent breweries from selling to the public(it has to go brewery-distributor-retail) and the law that prevents brewpubs from selling off site or distributing their beer. Freetail in San Antonio is very well regarded, but due to laws you can only buy it at their pub. And even with the crazy laws, Texas breweries can do really well. As most on this board know, Texans will flock in droves to anything made in state and then will vehemently defend it.
Would love to try some of the free tail stuff. I follow the owner after his white flag trex went viral. Guy is pretty funny
Oh I know what you are saying. My brother went to SMU and they loved themselves some Shiner (which is decent imo) but they said Texas had some dumb laws, but this was 7 years ago. My opinion is that they don't have anything there as far as breweries that we know of out of the state and when they change the laws somebody is going to make a shit ton cause Texas has a lot of metro areas. I wish I had an awesome blazer and clean designer jeans to move there and crush it in the craft beer world. I mean fuck, how well would a Texas IPA and a Texas Pale Ale sell?
