Everything Deep Ellum

Whoa calm it with all the honesty

 

We received around 20 cases on Friday and I can honestly say it was the best of their beers/ips batch I have tried!
Down to just a few cases as of this morning, and hope they will continue to keep up the quality they had in these cans!

Don't ever believe anything this guy says.

 

This guy!

 

W&T was awesome. I would like more of that in Houston, preferably in my fridge.

 

I'd be willing to pay $14.99 for a 4-pack of Wealth & Taste in cans.

 

I had their dry-hopped IPA from a firkin a few weeks ago and thought it was fantastic. I wound up filling a half growler of it.

 

I haven't tried this, but would certainly like to. Hoping they do a fresh hop pale/IPA this year as they seem to have a good grasp of what a good hoppy beer can be.

 

I would have preferred your idea over Hopseeker...something about that one just didn't quite work. I think that's the only one that has been wet hopped

 

I would LOVE a great Texas fresh hop brew.

 

Just saw they are releasing thier cherry chocolate soon. Hoping Houston gets a lot of this.

 

Mmmm... Cherry Chocolate. Fingers crossed Houston gets some.

 

Deep Ellum tweeted that Houston should be getting some next week, and Hay Merchant said it's a good chance they will have some. hopefully they will have the glassware to go along with it.

 

Any idea on when Dreamcrusher is coming out? Also is it bottled, or just draft?

 

They did a very limited release of Dreamcrusher last year in bottles that I believe was Dallas only... maybe some at Lonestar in Carrollton?

It was released late February, early March last year.

 

I do not get the hype for any Deep Ellum beers. Haven't had a single one I ever wanted to taste again. Wealth and Taste was ok but I can pour a little white wine in a crappy BGSA at home if I could find a crappy BGSA at home.

Oh well, more for those of you who enjoy it.

 

The IPA has had it's issues but when it's on it's great. The current canning is phenomenal and I expect dreamcrusher to be very nice when/if it's released this year.

I encourage you to give the barrel aged barley wine they're putting out in a month or so. It's easy to hate on DEBC but they do put out some quality brews here and there.

 

I don't think there is any big BA hype over any DEBC beer. Yeah a number of them are pretty good IMHO (the IPA being well above average but I love hops). No one ever posts ISO or FT their beer like sixer of Zombie Dust or the like. It's a great beer to send as an extra and everyone I've sent a bottle of it to has appreciated it.

For a year old brewery to be pumping out a full line of entry craft beers has us excited for things like their barrel program though..so if that's hype then so be it. What I personally appreciate is how easy drinking most of their beers are..I can bring a couple sixers around BMC drinkers and they can enjoy a couple without being challenged by a Barrel Aged or Sour beer. So I can get a little craft fix without coming off as a total beer snob.

 

No, not necessarily BA hype. Just general homerism about the beers locally. If they were coming to us from another beer market I don't think people would be nearly as excited about them.

I haven't liked a single beer from them. I don't see any reason to keep torturing my mouth with their beers. There are technical problems with some of the beers but I don't care for the intended flavor profile of any of them. If it's easy to hate on them it's only because the products give people good reason. But like I said, my dislike is just more for people who are fans.

 

Yeah well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
