Southern Grist

Was in the Nations taproom last night. Agreed Appreciate You is great, dead on for an Arnold Palmer. The guava lactose IPA is stellar as well.

 

Really enjoying Electric Ditty Bag. Think it's SGB's best DIPA since [Insert Juicy Pun].

 

The Copra Kai that went on this wkend, incl 4-pk cans, is fantastic if you love coconut.

 

I agree, not that suntan lotion tasting coconut either. Really good, glad to have them in the fridge.

 

Any word on when they’ll have another bottle release? Been a couple months since the anniversary. Itching for a good line share

 

They just keep getting better. The Push 88 that came out a couple weeks ago rocked my world.

 

Looks like we finally get to line up at the new location for a release ...

 

I'll be there. Looking fwd to whatever the draft only variant is as well.

 

I would guess it would be maybe a coffee variant or maybe some kinda fruit ??

 

Cellar sale sounds cool. Gimme those B1T's.

 

Stopped by last Friday night, I must say their beers are fantastic! I didn’t think I’d like the chocolate or sour IPA but I was really pleased.

 

Was a good release on Saturday morning. In line at ~10am and had my bottles by 11:15am. Smooth as eggs...

The beer was very good and loved the coffee variant in the taproom. Only minor complaint was the random system for giving the tickets out for cellar beers. I'm glad they saved me the money I would've spent had I been selected, but on the flip side, kind of confused re: why they wouldn't just give tickets out in order of arrival. Essentially not rewarding on a first-come, first-serve basis. Perhaps, though, this is considered an effective means for weeding out mules.

 

Yeah it said on the post that it would be a random number generator done at 1030. Ive seen this done a few times , i know they do this at side project as well for certain releases . Its a way of avoiding everyone showing up at 8 am or earlier in line .

 

Any thoughts on Freezies & Hoverboards? The description made it sound like one of the Bruery's new Bruesicle beers, which are epic but impossible to obtain except at the brewery itself. I was cautiously optimistic going in and I think Southern Grist hit it out of the park with this. I hope they keep playing with this beer and different fruit/flavor profiles.

I unfortunately didn't make it to the bottle release a couple weeks back, but had the Moves Like Jaggery on Friday night and it is a coconut bomb. Loved it.

 

I'm also a fan of the Moves Like Jaggery... I thought that beer was stellar and different... I was on the Launch Sequence wagon when the beer first came out but it has taken a weird turn in the can at this point. The Barista Berry Hill is, however, still incredible and such a different take on that series... Really digging it....

 

Was in Nashville this past weekend, Southern Grist was definitely the highlight of the trip as far as beer goes. We visited the taproom on Monday, the beer that stood out was Boil the Ocean. Probably one of the best Gose I have had, rivaling Creature Comforts Tritonia. Everything we had there was legit. This was the only breweries beers that made it back to Houston in my luggage. Great brewery with a good range of beers on tap.
