    Protip: If you go by Whole Foods in Downtown Austin during December... they usually make Shiner Cheer gelato.

    Did someone say Double Bastard? Picture taken at a Total Wine in Torrance, CA.

    ... I'm moving.

    I actually got 2 bottles of this via Corpus Christi, so I'm happy. :slight_smile:

    It's on the shelf at multiple places around Austin. Are people having a hard time finding it? Pretty sure I saw it at Live Oak Market, King Liquor and maybe a few other locations.

    That was just the tip of the iceburg. There are so many fantastic beers sitting around in SoCal. Make a trip, bring cash for shippers.

    I really enjoy the Total Wine in Fort Worth, but they had NOTHING like that there. I grabbed a bottle of Double Bastard and really didnt care for it like I did in previous years

    I don't know if it's the water or yeast they use, I just don't like/prefer Stone's offerings. Much like the aggies, in a vacuum, they are pretty good, but there are just better options in every category.

    I had Lucky Bastard on tap last night at Anvil Pub in Deep Ellum and I thought that was a very solid brew.

    No, I'm betting that he isn't broke after making millions because he's a moron. He wasted a talent most people would kill for and pissed away millions of dollars to stroke his ego...

    And big talk from a horde of people that proclaimed Vince a can't miss.

    Keep sippin' it up T-sip!

    Oddly, I find it actually is better aged. I've had both fresh and about a year old. I really liked the year old better.

    Don't get me wrong, it's still tasty fresh. :grinning:

    had it last night, tasted really stale and nothing like I remember last time. I was seriously disappointed.

    I chalked it up to age.

    Maybe this batch just wasn't good.

    Thing is I tried it on tap in 2010 and loved it, found an old bottle in MI and loved it even more. I then tried it last weekend and liked it, but not as much as in 2010. I figured my tastes might have evolved.

    I'll have to break out my other bottle and a fresh bottle (if they ever release this in Houston!) and do a side by side.

    Again, typical aggie. Maybe you should wait and see if your boy gets millions before making statements. He might not blow these mythical "millions" on ego, but he could easily blow it on legal fees. Walmart doesn't screw around!
