Austin Beerworks 16 ouncers

ISO Heavy Machinery

 

I'm not sure if it's been brought up but I noticed a little typo on the otherwise flawless and excellent graphic design for Heavy Machinery...
12 oz = ~355 ml, 16 oz = ~475ml

 

Nice catch! I was caught up on the novelty condoms and carrot juicers.

 

I only buy my beer based the milliliter count and I feel cheated!*

*not really

 

Yeah, can't say I've always been up on the latest beer news/updates (or even am now/ever), but before moving to Texas from CA, I knew of 0 craft places from TX. Sure there are some great beers, but they don't get distro out of state much, so it's not very newsworthy...I guess?
Best way to get TX beer is trading, and without some hype or whatever, I'd bet it kind of sucks for TX traders.

All this talk of Heavy Machinery makes me a little sad I passed on it when I first saw it I think June 4 (had other D/IPAs to drink in the fridge). Definitely want to try now, see if it's really good or just homer-ism
Anyone know if East 1st still has it? Edit: Their twitter said they had it yesterday. Save one 4pk for me!

 

Man I loved Heavy Machinery, wish I could get more of it

 

I have to say this was a great release and I'm happy I grabbed a four pack. The packaging was great too, alot of fun.

IMHO, this is what makes the Austin beer scene better than anywhere else in Texas. I don't see people offering to help other people nearly as much.

 

We did catch that, but only after the labels had been submitted to and approved by the TTB and TABC. It just goes to show you what our government thinks about the metric system.

We decided to leave it in as a kind of a unit nerd test. You passed. And, by the way, it's 473.18 ml.

How awesome, borrowing a car and I'll be on my way.

 

So I did an Enjoy by yesterday and HM today. Both great, but I prefer the HM. The HM has a fuller and more complex flavor, but doesn't have the grapefruit notes of Enjoy. For the price, this is a lopsided debate. I really hope ABW revisits this recipe in the future. I'll buy more than the case I did this time.

 

I love this beer and hope they make it again someday. I enjoyed the HM Black IPA even more and CANNOT wait until it is available in cans.

 

I had Enjoy By on tap yesterday. It was better, in my memory, than 4.01 was. I probably liked it more than HM, but it was close. Factor in price, and it's no contest. I need me more HM, and I need it now.

 

Defiantly not homerism! I live in Oklahoma City and just opened my first can. Its everything yall have said it is. Fantastic. ABW is killing it.

 

So good, I'd be happy with a just a 4-pack as an annual release. Again please ABW.

 

It's possible we could remake this beer on an annual basis, but the hops it requires (and it requires a lot of them) are just too rare to make it year-round.

The Half IPA would be a more likely year-round candidate so hopefully y'all like that one, too.

 

Reading this made my day.

 

Then you should be ecstatic to know that they released it on Friday at the Beer Guide release party

 

What is this Half Ipa you speak of?
A hoppy session ale?

 

Einhorn is on at Growler Room! $14/2L.

 

I know where I'll be tomorrow.

I had some yesterday and damn it was fine.

 

So happy I turned on a lot of people to this brew. Even happier I told them where to buy it.

 

Getting a $3 pint @whipin now.

 

HALF IPA is in the brite tank and ready to be packaged. We hope to start sending it out on Monday.

On another note, one of our drivers just informed me that Beverage World (the liquor store next to Whip-In) has a case of Heavy Machinery DIPA just sitting on the cooler shelf.

 

PERFECT! I'll scoop up several packs of this even it hits stores and let some people know about the DIPA that asked around for it.

 

What kinda hops did you use for the Half IPA?

 

Take one to the July 20th Share!

 

Yeah if anyone wants a 4pk that's coming in from out of town let me know.

 

YEAH BROTEN!

 

Dry-hopped with Citra and Amarillo.

 

Fuck yeah!

 

It was delicious, I vot for year round status on this beer!!

 

Hopefully this will last on shelves til i get back from NYC otherwise ill be trading some of my returns from my journey for it

 

Ooh, I'll trade some of your fancy NYC beer for some ABW.

 

Sorry, pre-orders are now sold out.

 

I have already informed my wife that she needs to pick me up a couple 4 packs before she comes home from Austin next week.

 

This just reminded me I have people coming in next weekend for my wedding. Definitely gonna ask them to grab some.
