Deschutes sent me a bottle to review, and I've been putting it off. I'm about to open it now.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588251769024959566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093430.post-80444348973517435012009-10-28T19:16:43.097-05:002009-10-28T19:16:43.097-05:00Mo: I was only told (via Facebook) that some #4 ca...Mo: I was only told (via Facebook) that some #4 cask will be available in Austin, but they weren't more specific than that.

The Real Ale utterly blew me away; it was like being in Bavaria. The Live Oak, I thought, was a strange sort of malty, and the Freetail was too sweet to finish. But that Real Ale Oktoberfest out-Paulanered Paulaner and hacked Hacker-Pschorr.Randynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093430.post-43080373490184267392009-10-23T14:13:50.099-05:002009-10-23T14:13:50.099-05:00+1000 on the Spaten.

Like you said, probably good on tap or something, but out of the bottle one can do better. <br /><br />I've heard good things about the St. Arnold, no luck finding it yet to try though. :-(Scott-TheBrewClubhttp://thebrewclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093430.post-57998786695253183282009-10-23T13:46:33.170-05:002009-10-23T13:46:33.170-05:00Any word on plans for the Austin Homebrew Supply O...Any word on plans for the Austin Homebrew Supply Oktoberfest celebration?

Which they found entertaining enough, but it hardly qualifies as "extremely" kid-friendly. Contrast that with all the bouncy houses and face-painting and stuff at NXNW's event, or the full-on carnival at Wurstfest. I wasn't saying the event is un-friendly to kids, but it hardly meets my definition of "extremely."Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588251769024959566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093430.post-2731108536748202832009-10-23T11:48:57.606-05:002009-10-23T11:48:57.606-05:00The Flying Saucer event is extremely kid friendly,...The Flying Saucer event is extremely kid friendly, as well as dog friendly.
