That said, the Equinox IPA I had at TL was great and I bought a couple bombers to bring home. Enjoyed the space and the beer convos there. Highly recommended to visitors.

That's Hang Em High, batch 6, I believe. Very tasty beer.

Their hop game is on point.

I have really enjoyed their Friday night one-off kegs, the Rough Draught series. Last week's was called Idiot Control, an oatmeal stout with coconut and vanilla.

Big fan of a certain type of sours. I mostly like the traditional Belgian ones but not meaning Lambics and more Flanders/Flemish reds. Seems like the good ones are had to find and pricey. Probably the best beer I ever had is Russian River Consecration.

Went to 8th Wonder here in Houston, had three beers.

Rocket Fuel: Coffee Stout. A pretty good coffee stout. Not a high ABV so you can drink a few without feeling it.
Dome Faux'm (Dome Foam): A cream ale. It was beer, nothing special. Not terrible either.
Phramhouse: Agave Saison. Very strong agave taste but not really the spice you expect with a saison and a low ABV.

Overall, there was nothing terrible but nothing great. The location and price is right though.

Yep, batch 6. They had batch 7 on tap as well which was El Dorado, but I didn't have time to try it. I grabbed a bottle of KC P'Rye'D to go too.

I stopped by Stockyard yesterday too. Cool space but their beers were just ok. I'd be spending a lot of time at TL if I still lived in KC.

Growler advice please. We've never owned one as we aren't huge beer drinkers, more liquor/cocktails.

Place down the street we found has tons of taps and growler fills. Wife says we need an insulated growler. I just think we need a cheap glass one.

What's the difference and does it matter? How long does beer stay good in a growler?

I use this one from time to time.

I can't speak to insulated growlers, I only have glass. I try to consume them within a week of being filled at the max and once opened within 24 hours depending on the beer. Ideally, the sooner the better though.

TimBone 07-29-2016 09:01 PM

Yeah, I try not to sit on a growler for more than 24 hours.

Got a Crowler and two four packs of Ghost in the Machine today, along with two four packs Parish's new IPA, Opus Vert.

Edit: That Ghost was bottled Wednesday, too....so it's freeeeesh.

Buffalo Bayou must be brewing their Gingerbread Stout all year now. Picked one up with a new label.

I wonder how breweries/craft beer stores decide what sizes theyear will fill?

The craft beer store in Lafayette will only fill 32 oz. growlers. It has to be a special occasion to get a 64 oz pour.

That's my joint. I'm overdue for a trip to Houston.

MoBrew, which is a block from my place, has this on tap. I'm absolutely addicted... Needed "several" tonight trying to adjust to the Royals' style of play....

It is actually going to VA with a sixer of Santo in exchange for a case of Yuengling Black & Tans.

New Label:
