[annunaki]

Whether it's close to Dripping Springs or not, it's still in Austin lol. I would like to make it out to that brewery one of these days though.

Here are some more recent beers. Sorry if there are any duplicates!

If any of yall are on untappd, feel free to add me

You should pretty much give all the stouts I have posted a try. The only one I did not like was Evil Twin's I Love You With My Stout. For whatever reason I couldn't stand that beer.

If you want specific recommendations, here are a bunch of great ones:
Avery Tweak
Epic Big Bad Baptist
Community Legion & barrel aged Legion
Prairie Bomb!
Alesmith Speedway Stout
Sierra Nevada Narwhal & barrel aged Narwhal
Southern Star Buried Hatchet & the barrel aged version which is Black Crack
Founders Imperial Stout
North Coast Old Rasputin
Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
New Holland Dragon's Milk
Left Hand Wake Up Dead Nitro

Tweak, Community, and Southern I cannot vouch for, the rest definitely. I would also add:

Avery Vanilla Bean Stout
Sump Coffee Stout
Stone Xocoveza
Bell's Expedition Stout
Evil Twin Imperial Doughnut Break
If in Wisconsin or Illinois - Cassian Sunset by Central Waters and their Bourbon Barrel Stout
Hoppin Frog D.O.R.I.S

 

[its phillip]

I like Avery's Vanilla Bean too. Tweak is much better imo but not nearly as available. I'd be happy to drink the Vanilla Bean though

Bell's recently got approval to sell in TX so hopefully we'll get our hands on Expedition stout and all their other good beer soon!

The economics of the craft beer industry are really interesting. Trying to go nation wide for many of these guys (much less regionally) is nearly impossible without HUGE influxes of cash. The regional breweries even have a hard time keeping up it seems for more rare or aged beers.

Kind of impressive when you see what Founders or even Sierra Nevada have done when you consider many of those guys never initially expected to grow outside of their state.

Karbach sold out to ABI recently Still a great beer

 

[panteragstk]

Got the founders breakfast stout today. Very nice. Gonna look for their other stouts.

 

[its phillip]

I've passed up their breakfast stout a number of times and have been sitting on a bottle of KBS for awhile because they are brewed with real chocolate so they probably have dairy

The regular imperial stout is excellent though

 

[slipperybidness]

I have to ask, where are you getting your glasses? I recently moved away from DFW to New Braunfels (40mi south of Austin) and haven't found anywhere locally to buy some to replace mine that got broken.

Also, anyone got any good stout recommendations? Lakewood Temptress is one of my favorites.

Not exactly a Stout--but get some 512 Pecan Porter. It is good!

I didn't know Bell's got approved! Hop Slam! Hopefully it gets down here!

No Hop Slam

But, that is a seasonal so just maybe later.

Two Hearted Ale though!

 

[its phillip]

Yeah, it'll probably come eventually. Bell's said they were planning on having everything down here.

 

[j_garcia]

mmmm I had some a friend brought to a gathering from a local micro called Corralitos Brewing. Don't even know what it was called but it was a really nice double hopped IPA. Super tasty. I need to get some of that.

I've seen that one a few times. How was it? Looks nice and thick.

Yeti is great. Relatively inexpensive and a delicious beer. I'm looking forward to drinking some of the variants eventually:
