    They didn't mention the specific beers, but said 11 taps of Karbach.

    I know its not that hard to come by but just wanted to throw it out there, I saw about 20 bottles of Pontificator at HEB on Fairmont in Pasadena yesterday. $8.99 each. Last week when I saw it @ Specs Bay Area they had limit 1

    That is my local store, there were also a couple of bottles of Yule Shoot Your Eye Out still hidden behind the Pontificator. They way that HEB seems to work is that they often hold back putting out new releases until space on their small craft beer shelf has been cleared. I found Bodacious and Fragelay there a full month after release.

    Given the profile of this location (Moth) I suspect this keg was sold knowing where it would be tapped, they had it on their TX flight card and (I THINK) had the Karbach logo on the card itself.

    I cannot imagine this location risking the relationship the company has with Karbach enough to use their beer or their logo without permission. If not then I'm ok spilling the beans and hopefully the mistake was unintentional

    I felt a twinge bringing it up but if select kegs are able to make it elsewhere...I can't not ask here you know.

    Nothing to worry about. Flying saucer Addison and on the lake have had several kegs from Karbach over the past couple of months and they posted pretty frequently about them on facebook and twitter. Unfortunately all of it has been rodeo clown :slight_frown:

    Shoot Karbach and email or msg on FB. They are usually good at responding.

    One thing I didn't like about the Moth was the inability to make your own flight. Other than that, not a bad experience.

    Hope I see another BB Hellfighter hidden one of these days, I got some on release day but not near enough to last till next time. Plus I have had some trade offers and had to take a guy up on a Pliny, Nelson, and Blind Pig for one.

    Yes, Bodacious is an all-time great beer to the City of Houston. Karbach's doing it right with the F.U.N. series...Man, had one bottle of Bodacious while making salmon and doused some in the fish. It was the best salmon ever. Fra-Gee-Lay takes Yule from a mediocre winter warmer to a top tier one. And BA Hellfighter...shoooot, now thats tasty. I bet Tiffany S really enjoyed her time with that one.

    For Rockwell, they'll have "them all," specifically Bodacious, Hellfighter, Fra-Gee-Lay will be there. See you guys in Cypress!

    Specs Galveston has BBA Hellfighter. Just picked up two bottles. It's in the back so you will have to ask someone.

    Karback tweeted this:

    "Brewing up 90 barrels of Barn Burner Saison today! Remember, this will be available in 6pks as well as draught!"

    Interesting.

    Yeah I had to go have one. Prob my fav beer right now, although I thought it tasted a little flat from the cask. Glad I still have a few bottles in my fridge for another time.
