I know we are all in a pleasent mood sippin on our newest TX conquest:

But now there is this:

Sure, it may not end up being Abyss level, but I have enjoyed the last two years of Widmer's Reserve Series. It's on now at Draught House for sure. I'm guessing we will start seeing bottles soon.

Widmer Deadlift

After reading Patrick's review of Deadlift, I had to buy a four pack. I did not love it, but I really liked it. I love you, I'm not IN love with you. But look at that label. It's great. It makes me wanna grow out a curly mustache and don a top-hat.

Hercules is still my go-to Double IPA.

W'10 Pitch Black IPA and 33 Beers Journal (again)

Last week I winged about the size of these beer tasting journals. I don't know where I got the idea that these were large. As you can see they are about the size of an iphone. Actually perfect for bringing along to the bar. I stand corrected. I started my first journal with a "review" of Widmer Bros. W'10 Pitch Black IPA.



Sorry for the terrible handwriting. No one ever taught me how to hold a pen properly. The flavor wheel was my favorite aspect. Apparently W'10's flavor is best shown as sorta like a map of Texas. It was an exciting two minutes. I hope you like this, because I think I am going to start posting more of these.

Oh and W'10 is a very enjoyable beer. Get some.

Stay clear of HEB on NYE

HEB was a madhouse tonight, but I saw and passed up (for now) these new beers:

I can't wait to try this one.

Thoughts on this one?

They had Red Hook's new spring ale. I don't think it is their regular Copperhook, the label said it was a Nut Brown ale. But I can't remember the specific name. Investigate that for me, will yah?

First Oktoberfest Sighting!

Widmer Okto, available now at HEB Hancock. Maybe I should actually try this one this year.
