    Buffalo Bayou posted a pic on their Facebook of whiskey barrels filled with a sour beer. Any idea what it is? I know not everyone is a fan of them, but I'm curious what it could be

    Beer style A mixed with beer style B with unusual ingredients that sound like they would work, but just end up being sloppy.

    I think Buffalo Bayou is banking on, please beer gods make it work, or please have tickers just try what ever we put out. I have pretty much given up on them.

    I haven't given up on them because they've done a couple things I really like. And it's not like you have to buy a four or six pack of their stuff just to try it. I'm still interested in what they do even though most of the beers I won't buy more than once.

    Agreed, but I am tiered of trying sub par offerings. I think they have a good business plan. Make lots of different crap that does not mix, be a sub par Dogfish Head, and people will continue to try the new stuff. Though that is just me being over cynical. Take it for what it is worth...not much:wink:

    Did you have the gingerbread stout? I thought it was fantastic!

    If that is directed at me, I have had and reviewed most everything from Buffalo Bayou. IMO, it is like trying to pass off Alexi Murdoch as Nick Drake or Elliot Smith. Not going to work.

    Yes it was and that just went way over my head. No idea what that meant. I am a few beers in so I apologize. All I know is ginger bread stout was some good shit. 1836 while not great is pretty solid. Also they are 3 blocks from me so ya don't mess with my hood bro!

    Ha, my post was not very intelligent anyway. If you like Buffalo Bayou, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. I am just ranting a bit.

    Haha well that makes me feel better. Im just ranting too but I do think they have some high points and am pumped to see what they could do with a barrel aged sour...

    Uhhhhhh. F*ck no. Looks like it's a sour Smoke On the Bayou.

    But don't quote me on that. Slight conjecture.

    Scots Gone Wild from Real Ale is awesome...might be some hope.

    Agreed to the first part. Disagree to the 2nd part because Real Ale's brewer actually knows what he's doing...

    the ginger citrus ipa was excellent! Also a fan of 1836 which is is a good solid beer - just what a new( er) brewery needs to start out with.

    I also enjoyed ginger citrus IPA, gingerbread stout, and 1836 (an oddity with the American/British flavors blend, but refreshing to me). I'm hoping they create a year round lineup and start canning or bottling...
