I’ll forever stand by this final statement: Give a damn about your beer and support the good ones, especially if they are local, and your money will help the rest attend to itself.
Almost two years since we shut this puppy down. We ain’t coming back, though. And no, it’s not @goofydeer’s fault. goodbrewguide.com/editorial/…

I hate that Oktoberfest beers (both the Marzen and the Festbier) are becoming scarce from newer breweries. Glad all the established breweries, which the newer ones are killing, still make them. I dunno what the statistics are but I rarely meet a person who dislikes them.
Yuengling can be seen as a challenge to Texas brewers or seen as a loss or annoyance. Either way, Yuengling has played their hand and now its their turn.
Are they going to grow or poke and make fun of it?
Someone mentioned that during this Yuengling launch in Texas, there have been incentives for bars to take off local craft taps for the launch.
That’s the bar’s fault for taking that, not Yuengling or even the distro for offering that. The bar doesn’t have to accept it.
I think instead of craft beer, its good beer, marketing beer, and grandpa’s beer. The nuance is there too, but doesn’t have any form of majority.
If only “super nice people”, “really great taproom”, “awesome branding”, “rad events” equalled good beer.
Somedays I find some hope for Texas breweries (and breweries who send their beers here) and then I think about the beer that distributors here have neglected or ignored to the point of extinction or leaving the state.
We need to dismantle the power distros have in this state.

Trying to explain #AmericanCraftBeerWeek to friends:
No, that’s not craft beer.
No, that’s not even considered beer.
No, that used to be craft beer but it got disqualified.
Yeah, it was kicked out, but it’s still tastes really good.
I’m sorry - try to focus...
10 years ago, I used to think some breweries actually tried to have the worst looking labels or branding. These days I think they switched to making the beer itself unappealing, appearance-wise.
Every story about new hard seltzers are full of no heart or bland regret. No garage-passion stories, jumping careers to brewing stories, no accidental amazing recipes everyone’s friend loves. Just pure, purposeful profit. More breweries should be that honest about their products.

A bake sale, but with beer: Texas breweries release special beers this spring to raise money for @TXCraftBrewers Guild. Liquid Bake Sale participants include @BlueOwlBrewing, @RedHornBrew and more. bit.ly/3uz24lo via @austin360

If everyone were always as skeptical about what they read on the internet as they are on April 1, the world would be a better place.

Get your beer here! 🍺 Fort Worth's newest brewery, @NeutralGroundBC, opened last week in the @rivereastfw district. 🍻 #TasteFortWorth
Also, since I logged in today, pour one out for Worst Beer Blog. I unfollowed him a while ago because it was too much, but mad respect for keeping up with something like that, for so long.
