    We have signed with Favorite Brands. I hope to get beer down there as soon as April. I got my lab results back on 6 different beers that I will submit tomorrow for TABC approval. As of right now, the plan is to start with Ale, Hop, and Standard. Bottles and kegs. I've got a few barrel aged beers we could send as well, but thats TBD.

    That is great news. I know there is a lot of buzz surrounding Firestone and Founders coming to Texas, but I'm just as excited to see Prairie down here.

    This is amazing amazing news. We are very lucky to have you come down so quickly and team up with Favorite. Looks like my yearly birthday keg of Live Oak Hefe will be replaced with Standard!

    Would an April rollout give you an opportunity to be part of the Big Texas Beer Fest?

    Side note to other BA's who may use Facebook, Prairie's page is well worth adding.

    I opened a standard about a month and a half ago and thought, this thing needs to be sour... so I took a standard and have it sitting now for a couple months with some cultures from cuvee de jacobins. Has carbed up nicely and is starting to get a little sour note to it.

    BTW: April is really sizing up to be a huge rollout month for new breweries hitting store shelves in TX: Firestone, Founders, and Prairie AA thus far.

    This will be covered by their collaboration with Saint Somewhere (at least the sour angle)...but I'd really love to try your little experiment. We must pop some brews again soon

    Man, I dont like st. somewhere. everything I have had from them either tasted like a rat decomposed in it. or just substandard.
    I think I reviewed the one that tasted like death, I'll try to find it.

    scratch that, I confuse them with stillwater sometimes.
    substandard still applies, and expensive.

    But you hate beer :wink:

    I haven't had any Saint Somewhere in qty but I really have high hopes for this one. Funky Galaxy also sounds pretty interesting

    That's because they know it's my birthday in April. I will surround myself with Founders, Firestone, and Prairie Ales and take nude shots.

    They just dropped in Massachusetts, never heard of them but they seem to be great beers, correct?

    Well I got two bottles of Standard for free because they just hit the floor and nobody entered them in to the system so they had no idea what to charge me.

    The Ale and Hop is $12.

    Looking forward to trying these, no idea why they hit Mass.

    Prairie Artisan Ales is one of a few American Brewers distributed by Shelton Brothers.

    So that is why we ended up with some. Can't wait to try it.
