I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and my brother is driving up for a visit from San Antonio next week. Since he's driving I'm hoping I can give him a shopping list of craft beer to bring with him for me of good beers I can't get in Wisconsin. What suggestions might you have since I don't know what's distributed in Texas that I can't get here? I do know I'm hoping he can bring some Jester King beers, but not sure what else to have him look for. I look forward to your replies. Ken.
Texas stuff: * Growlers of 512 Pecan Porter, Live Oak Hefeweizen, and Austin Beerworks Einhorn (if he can find it in Austin) * Real Ale Sisyphus (if you like barleywines) and Real Ale Gose (if you like tart, limey things and if he can find it) * Hops & Grain Greenhouse IPA (if the August batch comes out before he heads up and he can stop in Austin) * Freetail beers * Community Mosaic IPA (if he's making a stop in DFW) Outside of TX stuff (but available in TX): * Prairie beers * Stone beers * Deschutes beers See also Seekabrew: http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/compare.html
Freetail brewery, Karbach, Saint Arnold, 512, and Jester king any of those are awesome breweries and have stuff in SATX.... He may want to try going to SPECS or picking up a few Growlers at Freetail or BigHops!!!
Easy to find: Fresh Real Ale 4 Squared Saint Arnold Boiler Room I'll echo Prairie, Deschutes, and O'Dell
