For the DFW guys.

I had a chance to try Utopias this past Friday at the FW Saucer.

If I had the means I would buy one...I'd be willing to split a bottle 6-8 ways if some fellow BA's want to make a tasting out of it. It's totally worth trying and much smoother than expected.

 

Any word on Buddha Brew drop Fern?

 

Fern brought Utopias to the tasting back at the Addison saucer last year. If we put together a similar type tasting, I'll definitely put in for it. It's great stuff...

We need to see if we can set up some tarrant county tastings. I hit up the opening of Rodeo Goat last night and they have a side room. It's a great place.

/end hijack thread. Shop at Halls!

 

This happen today?

I'll ask Landon but I suspect since they have their liquor license they cannot allow carry in beer.

As I mentioned in the growler fill in DFW thread. Brewed would be a perfect place...awesome food and a great patio.

 

AAxsom, you happen to work at UNTHSC?

 

Buddhas at Kings and Total in FW. As I understand the sku isn't entered to receive at Cental Market and got rejected. Specs might get it later today or Friday.

 

Thanks Fern! Any word on when Abyss and Funk Metal arrive?

 

Yup, sure do. But more importantly, any news on Funk Metal?

 

In the JK thread they said it leaves their warehouse this week. So maybe Friday or early next week. 200 cases, on par with Boxer's batch 2 in size if I remember correctly so a lot of stores will get this and hopefully many will 2-3 cases

 

FW guys. The Peticolas winter warmer. wintervention I think. Is $3 pints tonight at the Saucer.

Punctuation and CaPiTOLs be damned

 

Turned out they screwed up. I got the last pint before they changed the price back to normal. It was good.

 

Hutch is the man for pointing it out.

I wish that place had more rare tappings..the obligatory Friday Rahr cask is what I call rare anymore

 

Agree on the rare stuff.

The place has a weird vibe lately. A lot of employee unrest/disatisfaction.

 

Between all the moving its expected. I'm good friends with everyone there so hopefully it all shakes out well.

Unfortunately Fort Worth hasn't stepped beyond Rahr...or from a different perspective Rahr hasn't evolved into a true craft brewery. I give them credit for the barleywine and the Black IPA. Both good brews and a major step into a new world for them

 

Were you able to go to their 8th Anniversary tour? Rahr floored me with their 1 off kegs that day. The Brett, Barleywine and Peppercorn Wit were great.
