If nothing else it will make a nice change from Michelob Ultra (low carb, low taste, low opinion!) and Budweiser (no comment) which apart from Sam Adams is all we can get here.<BR/><BR/>Oh, by the way, I FINALLY GOT ME SOME SIERRA NEVADA ALE ALE!!! My beer guy got some in and kept some back till I got in there. The wait is over, but the journey begins!!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Prof PilsnerBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093430.post-68538347507483677692008-11-24T15:28:00.000-06:002008-11-24T15:28:00.000-06:00Thanks for the compliment, wahine!There's a lot of...Thanks for the compliment, wahine!<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of great bars in Austin, but for jaw-dropping variety, I recommend either the Ginger Man, the Draught House (not to be confused with the movie theater named the Alamo Drafthouse, although they have a great beer selection as well), and the Flying Saucer. The all have somewhere around 70 or so taps plus a great bottled selection.<BR/><BR/>If you like Oregon stuff, I recommend you check out the several posts I made about my two trips to Oregon the past two summers. Just go up to "Search Blog" and search on "Portland" and/or "Oregon." Or under "other beer blogs" in the right hand column, click on "It's Pub Night."

I had also bought the Rogue Chocolate Porter and The Left Hand Black Jack Porter. IMO the Left Hand Porter was Awesome. Even though LF was better, I am partial to Oregon Beer's !!!!<BR/>Deschutes Black Butte Porter Still remains my favorite. Full Sail does a fab Porter but you have to go to Hood River to Drink it. They don't bottle it!!!!! They actualy have quit a few winter beers they don't bottle.<BR/>I enjoy your Blog. It's great. <BR/>What bar do you recommend in Austin for Variety?windsurfwahinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311540810478258147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093430.post-13641396767620850722008-11-24T09:09:00.000-06:002008-11-24T09:09:00.000-06:00Currently, 512 is keg-only.
