FYI - Cask Porter @ NXNW, Dec. 19

I got this email from Ty the brewer at North by Northwest:

Hello beer fans -

 Due to the holidays we will be moving cask nite up
one week. It will be next Wednesday, December 19th.
Please note that the time will also be changing to 8
PM.  This will also be the new time for all future
casks once we get back on the Last Wednesday schedule.
Please forward this message to anyone you know that
might be interested. Thanks and have a Happy
Holidays...
Ty

P.S. this month's cask will be the Tippsy Porter, a
6.5% ABV porter collaboration between myself and Sean
Tipps, Esquire.

Some Good Press

It was nice of Chip at Fox News Austin to mention me.

It's a good write up.

Cask beer @ Uncle Billy's

There is a cask tonight at Uncle Billy's.  I hear that it is a pale ale.  Brian usually taps it after 7pm.

Also I hear that the Holiday beer should be on tap tonight. It is a smoked weizenbock. This is the beer that I helped Brian create and brew.

BTW- Tuesday is $2 pint day,  but the cask beer is $3 if I remember correctly.

See ya there.

Cheers.

Beer!

Last night my wife and I went to a nice impromptu  tasting over at our friends Dan & Joelle's house that included a small vertical of Saint Arnold's Christmas beer and a larger vertical of  J.W. Lee Harvest Ale.  We need to remember to do verticals more often - they're fun.   Some of the other beer we fun too, of course! That '05 New Belgium La Folie (Thanks Tim & Naomi!) was mighty good!

It was a good time, as always. Thanks D & J for the hospitality. 

Seasonal Beers

It's that time of the year again. Seasonal beers are finally streaming into town! And one of my favorite is Great Divide's Hibernation Ale.  This fine beer is now available on tap and in bottles.  I know right now they have it on tap at one of my beloved haunts - The Draught House.

 

Brewed a Holiday Beer

I spent the better part of the last 2 days brewing with my friend Brian Peters, brewer at Uncle Billy's Brew & Que. He wanted to brew a non-spiced holiday beer. I came in and worked with him on the recipe and the brewing of the beer. I don't want to say yet what it is because Brian wants it to be a surprise. I'll just say that it will be something very different and tasty with a little higher alcohol than the rest his beers at UB.
Thanks Brian! It was a blast to work with you.

Now I need to do something!

Well crap. I guess I need to get off my ass and write something. Now that my friend Jordan "Outed" me and my blog.
See, I was going to just "ease" in to this whole blogging thing. That's one reason there so few posts. The other (and real) reason is I am a lazy ass. But I'd rather be lazy than lame. And right now my blog is lame. So lets see what I can do with this...
Oh, and thanks Jordan for kicking my lazy ass.
