Saint Arnold Pumpkinator '15 - Houston

I see it sitting on shelves in Sugar Land.

 

There is no longer a need to worry about a lack of Pumpkinator or DR.

 

This is a good thing! Just as long as the quality of the product isn't lacking.

 

Baby steps towards Houston not freaking out about a beer release....

 

houston hasn't done it in a while.

 

Is it "official" that DR is released once a year now?

 

ummmm, k.

maybe you haven't noticed the abundance of bomb, okie, fgm, deschutes products, founders breakfast stout, etc.? these are all beers that houston went stupid for (myself included), that now sits.

 

I just can't bring myself to drink those any more. What's the point of drinking a beer if it's only been in one barrel?! I need my beers to be aged in at least two barrels, a multitude of barrels would be perfect.

Regular ass Parabola just isn't gonna cut it.

 

inorite?

 

I have. I've also noticed the price going down on bomb. Supply and demand - we helped demand more and they supplied more. Now more places get said product. There is also more selection from more breweries than the past. Houston still lined up for Pumpkinator release and for DRs. It still happens, just different beers now. And that's cool with me. I'll just pick up those delicious shelf turds at my leisure.

 

Which stores? They sold out at all the Specs around here pretty quickly

 

Oak Barrel Beer Exchange has 3 cases as of yesterday....place is pretty chill as well

 

The wife picked up 2 at HEB @ 99 yesterday. Limit was 4, said there was plenty at the time.

 

This is a great thing! I still need to get one bottle more. Maybe two so I can send one in a trade as an extra.

 

HEB (59 and 99) and Randalls (New TErritory)

 

I think they actually average about one every 8 months. They have released 15 over the past 10 years.

I understand that, but not the DR vintage matches up nicely with the calandra year. DR 15 was released in 2015...... Ya see my logic here? I wonder is that will be the new norm.
