Wow, that looks really good :-\

If you ever make your way down to Austin you can drink 'em all day long!
That's what we do when it's 100 degrees out.

This is wonderful. Crisp granny smith of an ale.

Visited two local shops… Both new to me... The first'un was overpriced and limited in selection... The second one was pretty brilliant - they even had 4 bottles of Stille Nacht left!.. Guess where I'm going to in December...

And FINALLY found a Lindemans Faro glass!..

Schorsch

@Seul:

Don't tell me you don't own a proper Weißbier glass? Someone help this man!

Was close by, what the hell!!

Double Crooked Tree

Sapient Trip Ale

For anyone that's had their brew from a bottle, fresh draft is SOOOO much better! Had been way too long since I was here

Double Crooked Tree draft is magnificent.

That it is Mclain. The Sapient is quite astonishing on draft as well, the mild citrus and cloves come through much more.

Kind of a random rant, but related to this thread: wax seals on bottles look cool, but serve no purpose and are annoying as hell.

Note that I've got that out of the way, Deschutes Black Butte XXVI is very good.

Yeah they are pretty annoying. I thought it a bit novel on the first bottle of Shipwreck Porter I got a few years back. Now it's the one slight I have as it just makes a mess getting into one.

I like em. The way Trinity does it it doesn't make a mess at all.

My neighborhood liquor store has always been great at wine and spirits but poor at beer. Now I'm happy to report their beer curation has turned around. They had a small but well chosen number of superior beers from around the world. Picked up more Crooked Stave, a French cider, Sammy Smith cider, Saison Dupont… And Stagg Jr bourbon and Rittenhouse rye. I think Stagg Jr is just a younger George T. Stagg, so I have high hopes there. An affordable version of my favorite bourbon.
