New Belgium brews Voodoo Ranger and Fat Tire. Like them both.
Sam's (Boston Beer) has some good beers too especially after buying Dogfish Head.
Speaking of SAM, that stock might have bottomed finally.

Had a double IPA from up in the NE called " Swish" very highly rated beer on untapped and definitely worthy . Hard a Rye aged stout with coconut from Hoof Hearted , cant say I cared for it , too much coconut . Git in my basement start and opened another Untitled Art from a collaboration between Lisrtermans and Untitled Art .. a BA stout with several berries and cinnamon and lactose .. prob my fav stout of all time .

Been a while since I had more than one beer. More of a red wine guy. But I’m vacationing on St Croix island atm. Stopped at the local brewery, Leatherback Brewing Co, yesterday and tried their chocolate and vanilla stout, The Diplomat. Good stuff. Bought a sixer to go. Just opened number three. Going down easy.
Doesn’t lagunitas have one Now - everything they put out is good
Here we go. Light. Smooth. Just 4% ABV. Easy drinking. Troy visited in ATX a few months ago serving the his new beer at a pub downtown. Disappointed it's not brewed in Texas. Brewery located in New Orleans.Troy Aikman going the craft beer route. I'll check out when it debuts.

Dallas Cowboys great Troy Aikman is all in on creating the next generation of beer drinkers, he tells Yahoo Finance.finance.yahoo.com
The draft and an Epic Sextuple Barrel Big Bad Baptist (after having a Great Lakes Eerie Lake Monster with dinner). Dude, that is an awesome beer night. Go Cats!!
Wiseacre Bow Echo tonight watching the only NBA I have watched this year.
Having a 10.5% Pretzel day Stout at this point in the proceedings. Inspired by Pretzel Day from The office. It has ALL the flavors.

Been trying, but just can't find a better Peanut Butter stout than Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout. You can easily smell the Peanut butter. Great with wings and ranch.
Today: Wicked Weed Pernicious, Creature Conforts Tropicallia, Terrapin Hopsecutioner
A friend sent me a Naked Nun. Now I know that sounds bad but it was a damn good beer !!
Naked Nun by Adelbert's here in Austin? Great stuff. Drank many times.
Just got back from a brewery trip to Ashville. Been a bucket list thing for me for about 7 years. I went to 10 breweries. Some really cool spaces and damn good beer. Almost all of the places were within walking distance which was nice. It wasn't as cheap as I've heard. Flights of four 3 ounce pours were between $15-$18 which is crazy. From 1-10 this is how I rated them
1. Catawba brewing. Cool hangout and my favorite beer in Asheville. Great sours and ipas.
2. Brohmari brewing. Cool indoor and outdoor spot. Very creative beers and awesome food.
3. Sierra Nevada. The space is 300,000 square feet and an amazing site to see. The food was really good as well.
4. Green man. Super cool space and really good beer. Flights and beer in general were not cheap. Wish I would have tried more.
5. Wicked weed funkatourium. Neat space with alot of options and top notch food. Way too many barrel aged sours though for my liking. Just don't understand why anyone likes those lol
6. Burial brewing. A Very popular spot. Lots of imperial stouts and extreme ipas. Solid beer from what I had but they wouldn't run any tabs which sucked. Got there 15 minutes after it opened and the lines were already crazy. A little overrated imo
7. New Belgium. This place had a great outside space and some of the best ipas around. Not many creative options though.
8. Asheville brewing. Good pizza. Beers were ok but very dated imo. Nothing new or fun and the space was pretty run down
9. Twin leaf. Small spot that had ok beers.
10. Hi wire. Just not a fan.
Overall a cool place that is worth going to for a long weekend. I like cincinnati and lexington beers more but it's still very good

Good post. Love the breweries and restaurants of Asheville. I would include the Wedge in your list. And, I like the Wicked Weed spot more than the Funkatorium, only because I share your feelings about sours. That said, I got a few small pours of sours the last time at the Funkatorium and, for the style, they are good. Burial’s stouts are often way too sweet for me.
I have a buddy that lives in Austin and one that travels to Austin peridocally. I introduced them and asked to make sure I was sent any new beers that were good. He knows how much I like Live Oak Hefeweizen so he sent me some Naked Nun to try. I swear I like it better. Perfect carbonation and citrusy taste. Just had one with some wings and it hit the spot.
I hear ya. To me, personally, I like Live Oak Hefeweizen much more. Better head. Something about their brewing process. Toured Live Oak twice while on 5th St and once at new location near ABIA airport. They use lots of imported ingredients from Germany. Live Oak is one of the oldest breweries in ATX area, since mid-90s.
Adelbert's, located 2.6 miles from our place, also brews great suds. We met there for after-work meet-ups many times. Toured twice. Solid.
Live Oak is a high bar. So good. I don't know, I've had too of these Nun's so far ice cold out of the can. I'd probably pick Live Oak if I was blindfolded for a taste test.
You may have heard of Hoegaarden Wit beer. Excellent Belgian Wit. Founded 1966 by Pierre Celis in Hoegaarden, Belgium. He sold out to InBev around 1985 and moved to Austin. He then founded Celis Brewery around 1993. Sold out to Miller in 2001. His daughter, Christine, purchased the brand and recipes back and reopened in 2017. Celis Brewing is currently located less than 1/4 mile from Adelbert's.
Here's his daughter and granddaughter in 2015. Photo taken at Sunrise Mini Mart by me.
Thanks for the great write up .. and barrel aged sours ? YUCK .. And I've never had anything from Hi wire that was impressive .... headed to Lake Erie today , they have a GREAT brewery in Sandusky called CLAG brewing Co .. Again guy owns it and another in Va I believe , they serve high end Asian food / sushi as well .. CLAG stands for Cocky Little Asian Guy .. LOL but the tap list is damn impressive .. almost every beer they produce is above 4 on Untappd'
Pivot does mainly ciders the last I checked. They don't offer many beers. Seems to be a popular spot but it's not for me
tonight, Old School NY Pizza on the back porch with a Trip of the Woods Barrel Aged Ovila, aged in brandy barrels with mandarin oranges and cocoa. Excellent big beer.
Just had another Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout.
Just stupid good when poured into a cold glass out of the freezer.
