Total Wine and Market Ft. Worth

What styles do you like?

Jester King Salt Lick (a slightly smoky/citrusy saison - I really like it) would be a worthy grab as far as seasonals go. I've only had one Martin House beer, but have heard good things about their Day Break.

Lakewood Temptress is a great imperial milk stout.

i dont know exactly what you get there, but there is a few i can recommend.

- Karbach Hop Delusion
- St Arnold Endeavour
- FW Union Jack
- FW Double Jack

Sours
- Jester King Boxer's Revenge

Stouts
- Southern Star Buried Hatchet

as far as barrel aged stouts, any that we get or made here, dont stay on the shelf long enough to gather the first speck of dust, if they even see the shelf at all.

limited release stuff is pretty much the same story. w

what makes it harder is you needing it in bottles, we can get these on draft easier sometimes.

this list would be bigger if you were coming here and could include draft only beers. many good texas breweries are still young and are still draft only or just have chose not to package yet.

 

I'll tell you right now that FW Union Jack is very hard to find fresh down here. I would though recommend Hops and Grain Zoe and Pale Dog. Those are both delicious locals IMO.

 

Thanks. I actually lived in tye woodlands in the past so I've had plenty of St Arnold but not the one you suggest ed. Thanks for the suggestion s.

 

Are those two ipsa from rhar? I always wanted to visit the brewery when I visit ft worth.

 

No they are from Hops and Grain. Also, Rahr is not that great of a brewery tour to me. It's always super crowded and their beer is not very good IMO.

I would recommend Martin House if you are going to one.

 

This is true about FW UJ. I got a 6 pack of it about a month ago and it was already 3 months old. Houston hasn't even started getting FW yet. This is bs.

Zoe is an incredible beer. I haven't tried pale dog yet, but I am expecting to like it just as much. I didn't recommend those because he didn't say pale ales or lagers.

 

Thats actually where I live is the woodlands area.

 

If you get hops & grains def get a sixer of Alteration, it is an amazing alt, won a silver at GABF if I'm not mistaken.

 

H&G Alt was 2012 World Beer Cup Gold. Not sure if more. Good altbier.

 

I just sold my house in Grogans Mill. All my friends and family are in KY, but I defiantly miss the Woodlands.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I will try the H&G alteration. I've never had anything from them before.
