"Craft" beer recommendation

[BP]

So is anyone else heading to the FW Saucer's Beerfeast this weekend?

http://www.saucerbeerfeast.com/fortworth-list/

Raison D'Extra, Uncle Jacob's stout, Stickee Monkee, Abt 12 Oak Aged, Uinta Labyrinth and a freakin Lobstah Beer.

How's the Dead Ringer?

I'm a fan. I find myself going for all the Oktoberfests lately, which is kinda odd for me.



Oh, btw, this was GREAT. Solid recommendation! I haven't liked much of the coffee stuff in the past, but this one is perfect. So much flavor packed into that bottle.

All the red dots are breweries downtown within walking distance. Very different from here.

If you ever want to hit that many breweries (half in walking distance, the other half about a 15 min drive MAX), visit Asheville, NC. Its a fantastic little town with plenty of great places to eat and LOTS of amazing beer.

Thurs through Sat were mostly in the same neighborhood lol.

Drinking beer while beer shopping for the next beers. So meta.

I'd say Black Shirt is doing pretty good. It was interesting trying a place that only does reds.

How is Black Shirt doing these days? Crafting a Nation was a pretty good documentary.

Btw at last years Beerfeast I had way more Rumpkyn than I should have. They always have something rare from Avery on tap and with VIP you get all you want.

Caves in Arlington has their Oktoberfest party this Sat. They have the typical beer on tap and big ass steins and everyone dressed in Oktoberfest garb.

You missed the boat for most of them. Addison's was two weeks ago, Fort Worth's last weekend. However T&P Tavern does a pretty good one and it's this Saturday.

I went to the Denver Oktoberfest this past Fri and Sat. Pretty cool. Didn't drink the beer, but had some food. Jagged Mountain was close and had some damn good stuff.

So the GABF finished up this weekend and Texas brought home 15 medals, 9 of which were gold.

Rahr won two gold medals, their first golds ever btw. This years Oktoberfest and The Regulator which is their doppelbock/eisbock.

Also Panther Island won silver with their Allergeez which is awesome because I think it's the first time they've ever competed. Rabbit Hole's brown ale also won a silver. Twin Peaks even won a bronze with their barrel aged brown ale, although I've never actually seen this beer.

An awesome showing from DFW area breweries. Even though somehow Grapevine, Lakewood and Peticolas didn't make the list. I imagine they'll be back next year though.

I was there.

Went to a tasting promotion put on by Big Bend Brewing last week, their promotion guy is just a cool old man that will bullshit and drink all night, had a great time. All their beers are good, but I tried their Oktoberfest on tap for the first time and would definitely recommend it. La Fontera is still my favorite. If any of yall are ever in Midland hit up the Beer Garden for some quality beers.

I also got 4 free pint glasses out of the deal.
