Thanks for the good news Travis, you made my day better already.

Harpoon IPA



I mentioned this earlier. Available now in Austin. I know the Draught House has it. It's decent. It was easy to find up north and when I lived there I had a few, to say the least.

Austin Beer Festival, No Mas?

I guess the Austin Beer Festival is no longer happening. The website is bye bye (or maybe just "under construction").

Does anyone know anymore about this?

New Avery



One I would very much like to try. Adam Avery told me it hopefully will make it to TX (depending on label approval).

Stone Foodage



Stone Smoked Porter & Pasilla Pepper BBQ Sauce and Stone Ruination IPA Curry Mustard Grilling Sauce. I saw these at Central Market last night. At nine dollars a bottle, I'll probably just stick with a bomber of the beer and some regular Dijon. But come grilling season, we'll see.
