Endeavor launch

Anyone seen this in dfw yet?

 

good to see another CS ba. I'm relatively new here at BA, so I'm not too familiar with the local BAs, but its nice to know that this town isn't completely full of BMC drinkers.

 

What, you're not a Shiner Bock guy???

 

Hops are not nearly as pronounced in aroma or flavor. I had DR11 fresh in bottles, on tap, and on cask and although endeavor is good, it doesn't compare to the original, just like pumpkinator.

 

Drinkin' a bomber all by my lonesome. Still can't believe that is somethin' put out by Saint Arnold. Wow!

 

The Divine Reserve Series is pure awesomeness. Can't wait to see what '12 is!

 

Completely agree.. It's good but found myself a little disappointed. It won't be my go to DIPA.

 

DR12 will be an Old Ale. Probably will be out in April.

I pray everyday for the next DR to be anything barrel aged. They will have to eventually!

 

i have to disagree with both of you. i thought it was fantastic and lived up to my memory of fresh DR11.

 

I tried their bb aged impy stout last year. I remember it as being decent. I was really hung over when I had it though so I didn't really get a good take on it. It showed up again this but I didn't get around to the bar to try it again. If I remember right it was half aged in knob creek barrels and half in another so so whiskey. I'd also really like to see them bottle a bb stout. or anything bb for that matter.

 

I thought it was a really good DIPA of it's own right. And I really don't care how it compares do DR11, since that beer is over and done with.

 

I had their BB stout last year also at the brewery on St. Patty's day. I am pretty sure it was my first proper barrel aged stout, but even then I knew it could've been better. It actually isn't St. Arnold's beer that is being aged in the BB barrels. Technically it is BJ's Tatonka Stout that they brew on contract for them. If they made something for a larger release, I bet they would brew their own imperial stout and it would be much better before being aged.

 

Okay. That makes sense. I've had the tatonka stout and it's not that great. Tons of body but really lacking.

No damn endeavour at specs or HEB yet in Austin. Whip in got it in 2 days ago but I don't really want to go there.

 

I saw 6+ cases at Escarpment HEB on Wednesday. I got 4 nice bottles and some of the new Jester King bottles as well.

 

what is shiner? Some sort of "craft" beer?

 

I went to Sunrise Minimart today and picked up 2 bottles. Specs STILL doesnt have it, for some reason. But Sunrise should always be your #1 go to (or Whip In if you're closer to that side of town). Also got the new Jester King bottles, Rogue Voodoo Maple Bacon Ale, and Chateau Rogue Dirtoir Black Lager. They also had DFH Aprihop and DFH Red and White in stock. Go to Sunrise.

 

If anyone's still worried there won't be enough of this to go around, stop worrying. My local HEB got a healthy supply, and they're not exactly my go-to store for limited release beer.

 

I think this is a great beer and I will continue to pick some of these up from time to time. It has been too long since I had DR11 fresh to be able to compare the two with any certainty but I think this is the same beer or very close to the original.

 

Endeavour is a solid DIPA. Definately the best year round brew SA makes. I'll be buying some more.

 

Agreed. Went grocery shopping today, and there was a healthy amount on the shelves of my HEB (which doesnt usually have much of a beer selection). So I honestly don't know why Specs is so slow to get it - they need to talk to their beer guy about this.
