I noticed when I went to tell Mcclung. So guess he'll not be attending. But told him we'd let him know what we're doing afterwards. Any ideas?

Had a couple of Austin-based Jester King's brews last night in preparation for the Anniversary party on the 26th. This brewery definitely has some bad ass looking labels.



RU-55 - This is a brand new one, just released. The bottle that I got at the Flying Saucer wasn't even labeled. Very sour, and thick. Almost tasted like a wine. Definitely a sipper. I didn't really care much for it, to be honest.



Commercial Suicide - This one was served from a cask at the Flying Saucer. As you know, anything from a cask has a certain 'flatness' to it's taste. This one was slightly smoky. I'm not usually a fan of smokiness, but this one was subtle enough to be good.



Gotlandsdricka - Wow, this one is smoky as hell. Definitely a sipper. It was pretty flavorful and has a lot going on in there. But, as mentioned, I'm not really a fan of the smoky beers, so far.



Black Metal - Wow, my favorite of those tasted by far. Thick, and dark Imperial Stout. Already picked up a second bottle of this one.

A special thanks to Kris for letting us crash at his place Saturday after the tour (you're welcome Kris)

Mcclung (Idleone) on here, lives in Austin and I mentioned to him about the brewery tour we're doing. Of course already too late to get him a ticket, but I figured we'd call him when we're done so he can hook and hang with us, ya'll cool with that?

You might also consider monitoring local Craigslist, or eBay and see if you can come up with another ticket.

That's a good idea.

[TxPlates]

Ok fail, the only response on craigslist is people wanting them lol. Ebay - none.

Me too. Well, except for a short trip to the hospital.

[TxPlates]

So as of right now the plan is:

Friday:
- 1.3% change Randall will come down and meet at my place (baring this does not occurr we'll meet in Austin Saturday)
Saturday:
- Timmy will meet me at my residence and we'll ride together into the lovely town of Austin Saturday
- Hit up the brewery for some good drinks - Afternoonish
- After brewery we have a couple things we can
1. Hit up the place Randall was talking about for some more brews and food
2. Head back to my place for brews (possibly some whiskey as is the adventure we sometimes take at my place) and we can make food there
3. ?
