      Alright guys, here's what I got.
      Nothing like Seul's hauls, but not too shabby I don't think!
      Forgot to snap a picture of the shop, but it's pretty cool that they have a Google Maps inside image.
      Much better than any photo I can take: https://www.google.com/maps/place/WhichCraft+Beer+Store/@30.248322,-97.771299,3a,75y,337.82h,90t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1sgEeNQUqOnSkAAAQfCNOQzQ!2e0!3e2!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xa1ae3a79b3ffb2a3!6m1!1e1

      Everyone seems to go crazy over the St. Arnold's Divine Reserve, so I figured I would give it a shot.
      Big Prairie fan, and this is supposedly better than the Funky Gold Mosaic so we shall see.
      While a horchata beer sounds kind of gross, I had the Señorita from last year and loved it.

        Nice haul, I've had the Brewdog on draught and it was excellent.

          Nice, it came highly recommended by one of the girls in the shop.
          I've had a few other beers from Brewdog but not many since we don't tend to get a lot of their beers.

            To be honest their growing diversity has lead to them being a bit hit and miss these days, but when they're good they are great.

            For me the best UK brewery at the moment is one that the Belgian Piglet actually put me on to, and is only a few miles from me, Thornbridge. I don't know if you get much of their stuff in the US but i have yet to try anything which was anything less than extremely good.

              We've been getting more Thornbridge stuff as of late, I had the Jaipur IPA and loved it.
              I saw their Saint Petersburg imperial Russian stout at the store last night, almost picked that one up too!

                  Divine Reserve is hit or miss, since each year is a different recipe.  I remember the 9 was really good, a couple of the years after were forgettable.  Haven't had the 15 yet.

                  EDIT: some interesting options available, based on the Google interior shot.

                    It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in Austin, right next to Black Sheep Lodge which always has a good beer selection.
                    They always are getting in new beers too, pretty impressive. Staff knows what they're talking about too.

                      Living 20' from what has been chosen as one of the best "bottle shops" by RateBeer, makes this easy for me… Believe me: I'm extremely grateful for their hard work... Thank you, Geers...

                        As a European who wants to try other brands besides Austrian ones, what are some brands I ought to try? I wanna do a batch order for me and a friend. Do a lot of breweries have online shops these days? Total noob here.

                                    Blond and IPA mostly, and I wouldn't mind to try a third kind.

                                    Feel free to compose something. 😉

                                          200 Euros for the beginning, mostly blond and IPAs. Some bottles of other types would be nice, but not too much.

                                          @Giles Did you take an evening class for jokes lately?
