TX Label Approvals

Let's not jump the gun yet guy's. Label approval doesn't mean we are getting it. Yeah, I know. I'm a kill joy. I'll believe it when it hits the shelves. Thats in regards to all BCBS's.

Bitch haunts my dreams

So guys, would ya?

Any idea if this is coming out?

Saint Arnold Bohemian Pils?

BLACK CRACK - BOURBON BARREL AGED BURRIE MALT BEVERAGE 2013-01-23
SOUTHERN STAR BREWING COMPANY (10.25 ABV)


I want some BLACK CRACK!



edit: adding label

Shit just got real

I would ... in the black crack for some black crack.

*EDIT* Christ I'm lying... that's hideous!

Hope its better than the draft.... that's said, I'll buy some anyway.

When did you have this on draft?

Didn't Sideways have it on tap for that crazy rare beer week?

Strangeways had an oaked version that was all french oak... zero bourbon/whiskey

Can't wait for Black Crack!

I can see it now. Ill be hooked on that black crack.

And I loved that stuff...murk and all. 4 Roses is nice in any form but I was a relative and remain a barrel aged novice.

I also really want some Black Crack from Southern Star.

I enjoyed the BA Wake Up Dead, but didn't taste too much of the barrel, just a slight edge that came out more as it warmed up. Still, a very quality beer and the average score on here seemed way too low to me. I give it a 3.75-4.0.

Black Craxk tastes amazing.

Where did you have this?

Do tell, do tell.

Don't read this out of context like I just did.

Party pooper

I had it when Hay Merchant did their soft opening. They have another keg of BA Buried Hatchet in the back, I heard its supposed to make an appearance on 2/15 for their anniversary party.

Some goodies that I found today:

Ovila Abbey Quad w/ Plums (1/31)
Ballast Point Sea Monster (1/29)

And for all the die hard BA's - Bud Light Lime Straw-ber-rita!

OVILA BARREL-AGED QUAD ALE

and a few black ipa's

GRAINSTORM BLACK RYE IPA - BOULEVARD BREWING COMPANY

ICON BLUE CASCADIAN DARK ALE

SIERRA NEVADA BLACK EYE PA

Mmmmmmm, Hop Henge. *drool*

I was totally focused on some Grainstorm... but then someone said Bud Light Lime Straw-ber-rita!! Boom, that's got to be amazing!!!

No Ballast Point Dorado in there?

I was hoping for that one also.

BA Bigfoot is now target #1!

not gonna lie, pretty stoked about the BA adelberts, although i feel it could possibly be a major let down

BA Bigfoot has hit Sunrise Mini Mart

Lots of goodies today:

Jester King El Cedro (02/08)
Firestone Walker XVI, Parabola, Sucaba, Velvet Merkin, Reserve Porter, Wookey Jack, Double Jack, 805)
Goose Island Summertime

Pinkus Hefeweizen
Oskar Blues - Chaka
Clown Shows - Luchador En Fuego Mexican
Austin Beerworks - Heavy Machinery Black IPA
New Belgium - Lips of Fath Cascara Quad, Dieu De Ciel, La Folie, Transatlantique Kriek, Rampant IPA

Fuck. I better start socking some money away, because I'm going to buy almost everything on that list.

Thanks for doing that so I didn't have to.

Let the Joygasm continue!

Also... wtf is with the Heavy Machinery IPA approval? It's approved for 16oz "kegs" and doesn't look like any can or bottle design I've ever seen. You can make out '1 Pint' on their scan of it though.

I'm guessing a can label ala Southern Star seasonals. It's weird though. I'd copy it here but I'm away from my desk.

It also says "Exclusively Sold in Austin". Perhaps a local can or bottle series?

FYI - Chaka is keg only

I'm pretty sure it's 16 oz cans and they'll be using stickers like Southern Star. I believe this is what I was told last time I was at ABW. I think they're aiming for 6 different IPA seasonals this year.
