    Picked up a 4-pack of ski jeans. CM has poster saying hopslam on the 22nd. Can’t say enough good about pinthouse pizza- be sure to get bines, best class and atx pale in your flight.

    Is Texas ready for a $21 6 pack?

    Well we have $20 4-packs and Prairie beers well over $1/oz. So that sounds like a deal.

    Valid point. Crazy times, not to derail the thread but I’m ready for some Jai Alai

    I don't see myself spending $20 for a 6 pack with any frequency. Especially not of something like an IPA or Pale Ale that I'm going to have to drink all 6 of very quickly lest it lose its hoppy glory. I'd be a little more inclined to spend that kind of money on a 6'er of a nice stout or barleywine - something I can enjoy at my leisure.

    Southern Heights is putting out some tasty IPAs. Worth a visit if you venture to the east side.

    I haven't made it to H&G recently to try their new IPAs. Now that they're selling to-go, I wonder if we'll see more small batch hoppy beers from them.

    I think they are, but it has to be high quality. Houston haze demonstrated that we were ready for neipa prices

    The ones they released in the past week (Terpene and the two Haze) are really good. Also Pinthouse south released a new pale yesterday that is great.

    I’d recommend passing up Hopslam for Coop Alpha Hive. I think it’s better, and you’ll save a couple bucks.

    I noticed Victory Java Cask went to 4 packs, but for almost $30. I thought about picking one up and I love the 12 oz format and I love that beer, but I don't know if I need 4 of em, you know?

    Maybe Martin House is ahead of their time with that 2-can pack thing they do.

    I passed on Victory Java Stout at that price point, though it is a delicious beer.

    The Martin House House thing is awesome! Totallynsupport that!

    Yeah I need more beer friends to split this stuff with. I grabbed a 4 pack and yes it was worth it. I paid cash so my wife wouldn't ask me any questions

    I did like ski jeans (can and draft). Austin is fortunate to have even better choices.

    Hopslam is under $17 for 6 pack at Central Market. Still lots of that and Ski Jeans at north location. Didn't see Cigar City there yet but didn't look too hard.
