    Thanks for the info! Do you have a NTX/DFW counterpart? Curious if there are tappings and events up here...

    BB Rovers has been getting good stuff lately. I assume you were not talking about Wright Bro's there either.

    As for Mean Eyed Cat? Yeah, that one is surprising to say the least.

    Yeah, mean eyed cat was my first exposure to The Band in Black, and Fancy lawnmower, which at that time was by far the best beer they had on the menu.

    I like BB rovers but kbs? Yeah i was a bit taken aback. Last i went in there, kilkennys was the best tap offering, although their bottles have been outstanding since ive been there. (at least the amount of different ones)

    So not as suprising as mec but def a bit of a wha? moment for me lol

    and never been to wright bros so yeah left them off the equation :wink:

    It is not really a craft beer bar but a bar that you drink to get drunk at and listen to music. They have craft beer on tap, but it is by no means a destination bar for beer.

    But, it is close to downtown for you tourists, and across the street from Whole Foods which has a good bottle selection.

    We tourists will be staying south of the river but since we're coming for super square dorky tourist music:

    im sure we'll end up downtown at some point.

    ; )

    Seriously though thanks. I'm just trying to keep on top of the zillions of Austin threads here so I don't ask too many annoying questions. I actually think KBS is super overrated but since we don't get it here i'd stop in somewhere for one of it wasn't too far.

    Can't blame you. I like the beer but I am not sure if it is worth the trouble of me going to a crowded bar to get a glass of it. I will let all the others who have to have all the big name things go for it.

    I do have two bottles of it at home, so that may factor into why I am not gonna go as well.

    BB rovers have been big founders supporters since our launch. I fight to make sure that our specialty beers also go to the little guys in addition to the regulars like Easy Tiger, Bangers, Flying Saucer etc. Bb rovers has consistently had Centennial on tap for quite sometime and I like to reward faithful accounts.

    As for mean eyed cat, good people that work there and they have a decent craft beer selection on draft.

    To me that's half the fun of going to a tapping. You're around people that appreciate quality beer. ABG release parties are always packed, but I love meeting new people and talking about our love of beer.

    Brew and brew is a chill spot and some of the nicest people. Come find me if you come out tonight and I'll buy you a beer.

    I do agree about the ABG parties. I used to talk to you back when you were at Craft Pride a while back. But, I work nights now and wouldn't likely be able to make any except the BB Rovers. If I do make it out to one, I will say hi.

    This is definitely good to know because i like to go to places, when i can get out, where i like the ppl and owners there.

    BB Rovers the ppl were just great to be around and my first time there i was alone but didnt feel alone, like i do in some bars where i feel ppl go with just friends and dont really want to talk to anyone but.

    Also good to know that the cat may have better draft than i remember, and i love the venue.

    The OP is the Founder's rep for Central TX. He knows when it will be tapped.
