BJ/Stone Dinner - April 20 (Austin)

Thanks to Steve from All Good Beer for pointing this little jewel out to me. $30 - I think I just may go this one. Finally, a beer event just down the street from my new apartment. Oooo-eeee.

More info (other cities). The lineup:

South Austin Beer Search #1

We recently moved down to South Austin. The last two years we've lived up north, a hop, skip and a jump from Draught House and Flying Saucer. And a quick zip downtown to Gingerman. When I say south, I mean wayyy south. I was worried. Worried good beer would be hard to find. And that is what this little series is about. Our first exploration was to Red's Porch.



It was Saturday night and the place was jammed packed. They had a pretty decent tap selection. Something for everyone - even beer dorks.



NXNW Pale Ale?? They had it. Someone explain to me why they are allowed to have this. I am not complaining, I just thought this was not possible, beer-law-wise.



My Yakima Twilight. We also had a Green Flash IPA and Brooklyn Lager.

The food was pretty good too. My Border Burger was spicy as hell. Sofia liked her Chicken Fried Chicken, but her sides were soaked in garlic.

We will be back.
