Official SA Bishop's Barrel thread

I was just messin really, didn't go the way I wanted it to I think lol

That and I've never heard of hearsay, so I prob should have asked since on its face the post doesn't make any sense, unless you know what hearsay was of course , heh.

 

I agree that the post didn't make sense, but I figured since you were confused, and I was confused, you're in Austin and I'm in Dallas, that the outside possibility existed of a place called "Hearsay" in Houston. Googling "Hearsay Houston" worked oddly enough

 

Hah. Yeah, I should've clarified and said it was a bar instead of sounding like an angry lawyer. Objection, hearsay!

 

Use google to figure out things?!?!?!

Unpossible!


Ps. That place looks like one to hit up. If I'm in Houston sometime ill let you know, maybe meet for a brew.

 

I grabbed a few cases at Flix. Note, the beer isn't for sale just yet. I'll update you.

 

This makes me very happy.

 

Woo hoo!

FWIW I have one bottle FT. beermail me with a worthwhile offer.

 

Some folks here acting like they're better than this beer... Why are you in this thread then?

I'm lucky enough to have left work early. Petrol Station at 4:20, got in line, opened at 4:40, sold out of BB1 at 4:50. Totally unexpected but stuck around after and had some other beers on tap with some friends. A second 'shipment' walked in around 6 and I grabbed a couple more bottles since there was no line at that point.

I'm not sure how I feel about the whole release-in-bottles-at-bars thing... SA know they can sell these beers, so they might as well increase production now.

 

10$ worth of beer?

 

Because this isn't a fanboy thread - its a place to discuss opinions about beer, some of which might disagree. Nothing wrong with some people not liking a beer, a brewery, or a distribution pattern.

 

I agree for once. They should have stopped brewing everything else about a year ago when they put this beer in barrels in anticipation of the hype of the fall Karbach/SA beers. They also should have anticipated the hype surounding Pumpkinator and should have brewed 3 times as much as last year instead of just twice as much. I also think they should have dedicated all of their barrels to this one batch, even though they've never brewed it before, just to screw people over with more hyped up beer. It was so obvious, f'in idiots.

 

I can't agree more. What's great is many of these brewers frequent our threads. I assume we provide a valuable focus group of a sorts. I mean it's a whole lot easier to learn from mistakes or perceived avenues for improvement if you know about them.

 

Lol, touche.

 

So can someone recommend another BA'd Stout that's reasonably accessible in Houston?

I loved BB1 and I wanna try others, BAD.

 

Dont know what the fuss is all about in Houston. This beer is still at plenty of bars, just have to ask. Of course the biggest accounts sold out quick, but i'm still seeing 1 if not 2 full cases still sitting around places

 

We received 2 cases of the bishop tonight at the Dancing Bear Pub in Waco. As of 9 when I left tonight there was only 1 case left.
