Austin Tasting?

If the tastings at the Draughthouse are anything like the tastings at Rubios house you will be blown away with the beers that show up there.

 

I WILL DRINK YOUR BEER.

 

Everything from a canned Faro to an Isabelle(multiple occasion) have shown up at some point.

 

I will likely be in if there is one on Friday.

With that said, I will be out of town on Saturday, and be in Portland next weekend (I am aiming to bring back around 70 bombers...that is what current projections show).

I prefer the smaller ones anyways, I do like showing up the the ones at the Draughthouse as you do get some crazy beer, but I like ones where you get more than an ounce at most of the beer.

 

This is a great idea, I was thinking about asking if people wanted to do a mid-February one.
It looks like there'll be a small share at JK Friday night (far tables) to commemorate the La Vie and Ambree release, so I can't do this Friday night. I can very likely go to a date in February.

Bottles brought are usually non-distro, limited release stuff, or 'retired'.
An interesting cellared beer or vertical of anything is good too, though verticals might be better for smaller shares depending on bottle size and # of beers in the vertical. Really, any beer you want to share with other people.

Beerist Tasting is (first Sunday of each month at DH on Burnet) at ~3 PM and superbowl kick off is at 5:30 CST, so I plan to go for two hours.
