While we're on the topic... do you ever make it out to San Antonio? If so, do you have any suggestions for good beer bars or brewpubs there? I end up there on a fairly regular basis for business, but thus far have only made it to the Blue Star brewery, and would love to discover some others.

Thanks!

I don't get down to San Antonio that often, but they do have a local Flying Saucer franchise there as well:

Have you tried Freetail Brewing yet?

Just finished up a growler of Espionage IPA from Founders. Made with a hop extract rather than dry or wet hops. Still very tasty! Chased that with a Bells Goes to 11 and then a Southern Tier 2x IPA. Yum Yum.

Taiwan Beer- Picked it up at our local Great Wall. It's not good, but I can, at least, add it to my Untappd.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo- It's a fine day to day beer, and the best thing my local bodega has.

Elysian Hansel and Gretel- If you love ginger, this beer is amazing. If you don't, well, it's probably too gingerific for you. I can drink this all day.

If you are ever passing through Indianapolis on a Friday, you might want to stop at Sun King. Free tasting and $5 growler fills!

After several days of GOTV work I picked up a six of Starr Hill Double Platinum - very much in the Dogfish 90 vein, although a bit sweeter, slightly less complex hop profile.

Well, we survived the Austin Traffic and made it to the Gingerman. LOVED the place! If I had a bar like that near my home, I'd be in serious trouble. Austinis a great city and really rolled out thew welcome mat for the F1 fans.

And FTR, the Aloft Domain did a great job. Excellent staff!

Anyone beside me attend the Festival of Barrel-Aged Beer in Chicago Saturday?

Still recovering. Wow.
