    Yah I had a butter bomb growler when their QC issues began when they started bottling. And yah, Diacetyl will be there at start and for IPA's surely become more buttery over time.

    Yellow Rose was nominated in CNBC's best label artwork contest. http://www.cnbc.com/id/102509024

    If you don't vote for it and don't tell all your friends and everyone you know to vote for it, guess what, I have bad news for you, are you ready, okay here it comes: I hate you.

    Damn.

    Just fyi, Lone Pint will be tapping a cask variation of Yellow Rose this Sat. at Houston Firkin Fest -- 'Yellow Rose Especial, dry hopped with El Dorado and Habaneros' -- plus Zythophile Equinox, a single hop IPA.

    Someone changed their mind as they walked by the display. Traded the shitty bottle of wine for a couple of YR bombers.

    Ya I almost picked one up the other day, but I'm not paying $10 for a bottle of this when I can have Endeavor, or my favorite, Dankasaurus, for much less.

    The price has doubled in the past 6 months. Great beer, but just not worth it at that price point.

    According to Lone Pint, Yellow Rose has cracked the Top 100 here at BA.

    Ok I have never bought a 750ml of yellow rose. I cannot justify paying that much for it when it can be found on tap everywhere in Northwest Houston. It is almost always on tap at HEB Vintage Park for growler fills and it is never more than $13. To me that is a best value (that is $13 for 64 oz, almost 3 bottles)

    Yes we are lucky to live in the land where it is easily accessible on draft.

    I have no growler fill station near me in Spring Branch so I often have to grab a bomber when I am craving it. The price point is not the best, but the two I picked up for dinner with friends were super fresh and delicious.

    I long for the day when I can pick up a 4-pack of tall boys!

    I don't have it near me at a bar, so I just try to get it by the 1/6th barrel whenever possible.
