But I did actually have chicken wings cooked by Paul Qui once! I told him that I would have liked them to be spicier.

Lone Star, the National Beer of Texas, preferably in tallboy form. Almost always a few in my fridge, and after a couple of heavy craft beers, if I want to keep going, I switch to this. I have a small collection of Lone Star breweriana, as well as two belt buckles (Texas, ya know).

I assume at Which Craft it’ll be for beers that aren’t available in bottle or can form, because given the option I’d get a 6-pack (or 4-pack) as well. But since, as you mentioned, a lot of nice local seasonals don’t get bottled at all, it gives me another way to enjoy and share a good beer that I might not otherwise…

Right after I read this, I see on Twitter that my awesome local bottle shop (Which Craft) has just acquired the means to start doing growler fills.

the Rodeo Clown Double IPA is also fantastic.

That show did 2 bars in Austin. One of them made up a storyline about marital problems between the owners, and kept the new name of the bar for what I assume was a contractually mandated weekend before going back to the old name. But I hear they got a kickass entertainment system out of it! The other was turned from a…

Love Blood and Honey, been drinking a fair bit of that lately. Also, it’s on sale for $6.99/6-pack at the brand new Total Wines in Austin.

I’ve heard that the regular production tastes a little different/better than the prior limited release (only available in the 12-pack sampler). I thought it could be so much better than it is, not enough of the prickly pear flavor and with a soapy finish (and not the tasty kind like with Sorachi Ace).

My go-to summer beer here in Austin since it first came out. I even named one of my cats for Ruby Redbird. Nice review, although I might go with 50/30/20.

Whenever people ask me what my favorite beer is, I say “Free.”

Things that crack me up about Austin: people who bitch about all the Californians who move here but got stoked when Trader Joe’s and In-and-Out opened here.

Put me on the “Was this ever good” list? I also wasn’t aware it was a fruit beer, despite now realizing that the weird taste was likely the apricot.

Mine was surprisingly hot jalapenos, but did the same thing.

I did a 12-beer flight a few weeks ago and only checked in the 3-4 worth noting/remembering, mostly for that reason.

What’s funny is I would balk at that price ($7 for 500 ml), even though I have paid $20 a couple of times for a 750 ml of a stronger, hard to find beer. Maybe I need to do math at the bottle shop more often.

The Barnstormer Series Raspberry Geyser is a 2-year aged Raspberry sour from Blue Star Brewing Company in San Antonio. Available only in San Antonio (and possibly only at their pub). One of the best beers I’ve ever had, the raspberries taste really fresh and add just a touch of sweetness to a deliciously sour beer.

A few years back, I had to spend a lot of time in Oklahoma for work. The only “strong” beer you could get at many of the bars and restaurants was this beer I’d never heard of, called Boulevard Wheat. It was good enough, definitely better than watered-down Bud.

Clear bottle Corona is awful, but the brown quarts (caguamas) of Corona taste different and are almost good.

Love Child #5 is fantastic! This sounds good too, I’ll definitely check it out. Loving the array of sours available, but my wallet hates me.

and a six-pack at the local pizzeria?
