send me a few :P is there any other kind but "dry hopping" in tejas? :lol:
A few kegs? :lol:
My above consumption was of cask conditioned not bottled.
Yes, Saint Arnolds Amber Ale for example. Traditional German brews use kettle hopping rather than dry hopping FYI.
edit: Saint Arnolds Elissa IPA is an excellent IPA that is kettle hopped twice and dry hopped once.

I've gotten to where I prefer cask conditioned. Sucks because I gotta jump in the car and go somewhere with a beer engine.

I have yet to go look, because when I do, I'm getting at least 5 flats. I need to speak to the manager at the local Total Wine and see if he can make any deals. I know Ryan wants 2 flats as well.

We have yet to get that one in. We have in some weyerbacher imperial Pumpkin ale which is 8%.

I just saw that Bluemoon makes a harvest moon which is pumpkin ale as well... will have to try that.
The Dogfish head Punk is a good one too.

Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin. Imperial Pumpkin Ale- 9% Alc. Has much better pumpkin taste then the Shipyard Pumpkinhead.
We put it on last night and it was gone by the end of the night. I think it was a slim Keg- but OH SO GOOD!

Here is a pic of the bottle, but we had it on draft.

They have Weyerbacher Autumn Fest on Growlers.

Weyerbacher has never done me wrong with all that I have tried. In fact, they hold the highest ABV I've had to date, 13.6% ABV.

Maybe we can make a stop by there tonight... I'm out shortly will call ya.
