I hear you. How's your BMW saga coming along?

St. Arnold Icon Red tonight for me. Spicy. Tasty. Not a huge fan of most of their brews, but I'm on board with this one.

Tangerlo van t'vat was very nice. As was the Gulden Draak earlier. But Leffe Royale was the best. I love Belgium.

Well ... at least we know now what it takes to get you to write a nearly-coherent sentence.

Belican, the national beer of Belize, is like a slightly lighter Corona. I'm mostly sticking to rum served in large pieces of fruit.

I have a cold Velvet Rooster. Anyone ever tried that one?

Always a good choice ... especially in the tropics. My next gig is practically on the equator, and I plan to follow your example.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to make a request. We (well,the company I work for at least) are introducing a new product called Frio beer (yup, "cold beer"). It's going to be exclusive to HEB and will start rolling out on Monday, with most of the state being covered by the end of the week. If you get a chance, pick up a six pack (it's going to roll out at like $3.50 a sixer, $14-15 for a 30 pack) and let me know what you think. It's supposed to taste a lot like Michelob Ultra, but actually comes in with slightly fewer carbs and calories. And before you say it, no I have not even had a chance to try it, I've been too busy trying to get the rollout ready. Anyway, just if you get a chance, try some this week and give me some feedback. Just try not to be TOO negative, will ya? Thanks!

There was a San Antonio microbrew in the mid 90's called Frio. Tasted a lot better than Michelob Ultra, though.

If you have not yet had the Austin Beerworks Black IPA, I recommend trying it.

GreatBagwellsBeard · « **Reply #14 on:** April 22, 2013, 08:25:44 am »

I had a Founder's Red Rye IPA at BRC this weekend. Oh man, was that good. Deep copper color, nice hops. Paired well with the jalapeno potato chip-crusted CFS.

Had some Southern Star Pine Belt Pale Ale this weekend, made in Conroe. Very hoppy, should've called it an IPA, but drinkable.

And to anyone on the west side (well, maybe far west), there's something called the Katy Beer Festival in the Cinco Ranch area on May 4th.

Had a growler of Real Ale's Devil's Backbone this weekend. It was very good.

Saucer had some on Saturday.

I know I'm likely late to the party, but I throughly enjoyed the Karbach Barn Burner Saisons I had Satruday night at BRC. It went well with the biscuits and bacon jelly.

I have enjoyed many, many cans of the Barn Burner. Masraff's had it on draft at one point too.

Very tasty, very stealthy.
