After Hurricane Sandy, potentially a lot less. :)

Sadly, we're using growlers to store water currently, rather than beer! :( :eek:

Pipeworks Brewing - North Western.

Take care Kipper (and all of people in the affected area). It looks very bad.

It wasn't too bad in southcentral PA, so soon enough, we'll empty out the growlers and fill them with beer. :)

Fridge has various Shiner brews in it right now. Started buying them after stopping in the town of Shiner, TX. Very nice town, very clean, nice tour of the brewery and free sampling room. Shiner is in the Czech belt of Texas. Lots of smoked sausage/meats sold in the area as well. Goes great with the beer.

I would agree on all counts; however, once experienced, I can't say that I'd ever be moved to return. Been there, done that. ;)

I think I agree, but it's a great stopover spot on some of my motorcycle rides across the state. So I will be there again.

Has anyone tried Dogfish Head 75 minute?

Yeah, I suppose if I was in the neighborhood, I wouldn't pass it up either, but for me it's a four hour or more round-trip, so only if I happen to be in the area.

All the Dogfish xxx-Minutes are extremely good. The higher numbers are too much impact for a lot of folks.

I just found an Imperial Pumking in the basement from last year that my wife moved and had been lost to sight. Really good, with deep mellow fall spices and quite smooth and rich. I am going to try a fresh one and compare, to see if this is worth laying down for the future.

My concern is that they add maple syrup to 75 minute, so I was curious to know if it tasted like drinking maple syrup.

Enjoyed Pizza Boy Amarillo-Hopgasm last night. :)

750ml bottle complete with champagne-like cork and cage of Blanche de Chambly, a really nice blonde beer from a micro-brew in Quebec. ^

Yes sir!

The Flying Saucer

and

The Gingerman

and

The Draughthouse Pub & Brewery

are my personal favorites. The Gingerman is across the street (kitty-cornered) from the W Austin.

Thank you!

BTW, just got a very nice email from a Marko Poznanovich at the Aloft asking if people had any special needs for the F1 weekend. Nice touch!
