    Someone correct me but I believe the kegs are brewed at Alpine and the bottles are brewered at Green Flash.

    Bottles are still from Alpine but kegs are both Alpine and Green Flash. I'm sure all of the Alpine we get in TX will be brewed by Green Flash.

    All of it will have to be brewed at Green Flash unless the Alpine brewery gets a separate TABC approval. Even Lagunitas had to get another brewery approval for their second brewery.

    So, everything that comes in will be from Green Flash.

    I've heard this a lot but I'm hoping that it's just people's tendency to think that when things change (especially if you're losing beers you used to trade with people). I do see how it could change some with such fast growth, but I just personally doubt it went totally to shit.

    Anybody see the Anderson Valley Blood Orange Gose pop up in Houston yet? I believe I saw a tweet that some landed in Austin at the end of last week...

    Real Ale is doing bombers now? Ugh. Bad news for my beer budget.

    Dem big Real Ale bottles doe! Seriously, though, based on ABV%, I'm betting Commissar (love the name!) is a redux of the amazing 15th Anniversary...more great times for Texas Craft Beer! Thanks as always, Andrew!

    2015 is the year of Real Ale apparently. More than welcome if you ask me.

    The Real Ale stuff sounds awesome, but I might be most excited about Deschutes Pine Mountain. Had it up in the NW and really enjoyed it. Armory is pretty tasty, too.
