DFW - Strangeways Amazing Tappings This Week

Thanks! Only interested in Weds though, really... You know the times? I tend to wander into bars at noon, lol.

 

Where is this?

 

Strangeways, on Fitzhugh and Belmont. Knox-Henderson/East Dallas.

 

thanks! didnt know they opened at 4. been there a couple times, and I swear it was around noonish saturdays. it was a while ago though, and i was the only one there, lol.

 

I don't get how that is French Oaked Buried Hatchet if it was aged in Four Roses barrels. Sounds more like bourbon barrel aged...

 

Uhhhhhh...mazing looking tap list there Matt

 

They threw in, or somehow incorporated, french oak chips.

 

Yea, let me know some times for sure. I might haul my butt over there Wednesday for a pint or two or Thursday for a gallon or two.

 

This makes me jealous! Especially the double pecan! Love that stuff!!

 

It sat on shelves for a couple weeks... And yeah, it is good! Thanks for the info!

 

I wouldn't have paid it any attention had Fern not recommended it. It was pretty awesome. And one of the surprise beers I've enjoyed this year that I thought would be "meh".

 

Dropped the same week as Uncle Jacobs if I remember correctly. I was expecting good and got great with this. Vice versa on Uncle Jacobs. Much like Weyerbacher Whiskey Barrel and Bishops Barrel, I've found I appreciate the aging on less viscous base beers.. Maybe that will change over time.

Any thoughts on if the rare kegs will last more than a day? I'd like a chance to try multiple but I can't rightfully make the trek more than once?

One more thing. Is it so hard for bars to get rare kegs like this? I feel like 9 times out of 10 places like the Fort Worth Saucer put up fairly generic kegs and casks for their weekly tap, like Oaked Yeti and Cask Hop Devil or yet another Rahr keg. Good beers, yes. Rare, no.

 

Any of you in DFW who missed the BBA Human Blockhead did yourself a disservice. That beer was simply amazing. I wish I had more!

 

Can't wait for the Bourbon Buried Hatchet. I intend to stop by that day, and hopefully some of the other beers will be on as well

Cheers,
Chad

 

Strangeways working exclusively (well, for the most part) with Duff, has landed him some otherwise tough to get kegs. I imagine as one of the few, if not the only bar doing this, that gets him some special attention from Duff.

Regarding the other bars, you're absolutely right. The Moth, TCT, Holy Grail, Jack Mac's, those are single locations, and when you only have a couple of kegs to go around, it makes sense to give them to 1 or 2 locations when you can't give them to all of the Saucers or all of the Gingerman locations.
