Should have picked up some of that stuff. I really didn’t see too much Texas stuff outside Saint Arnold. I did pick up a Pine Belt Pale that was pretty decent.

Vince, I’m in Houston right now and have been drinking some Saint Arnold. In fact, I’m doing a write up of the brewery right now.

My new go to brew since moving to Austin is a the brown ale from the locals at Real Ale Brewery – http://www.realalebrewing.com/

Pure unfiltered and unpasteurized…awesome. And it’s 7 bucks for a six pack!

Look for the Double when it comes out. Looks like you are catching up on some reading.

Crooked Tree IPA is one of my favorite IPA’s. So good, and I can find it pretty easily around here.

We always have Victory Stor. King Stout on hand (my wife’s favorite) and I usually have a Stone IPA or Arrogant Bastard on hand as well. I’ve also recently discovered Dale’s Pale Ale in the can which i’m currently enamored with (possibly due to the novelty of good beer from a can).

But more an more, I’ve kept a variety of beers on hand and try not to double back too often.

Depends on where I am…

Out here in the, I tend towards the Deschutes lineup. If I can’t make up my mind, I’ll grab something from them because I know it’s good. But if I’m looking towards a foreign beer, I usually grab something from Schneider and Sohn.

Back home in Texas, it’s the same for the foreign beer, but I do Shiner Bock, especially on tap. Not great, but satisfying.

@Mutineer…just had a Breakfast stout a week ago…I always go back to it!

@Scott…when I go to the store I try to hit across styles like that, especially if I’m gettting go to beers

@beer scientist…Dark Horse…interesting. I do like their stuff…great session beers, you just don’t here the craft beer world talk about them much.

@Mike Loves Beer…A lot of people seem to go for Dead Guy. I think session beers need to be emphasized a bit. It seems the craft beer world is a bit infatuated with imperials (which I do love!) at the moment.
