Picked these up yesterday at Spec's in New Braunfels. Never tried any of them what a you guy's thoughts?

Maui Brewing Company - Mana Wheat - 6 pack
Maui Brewing Company - Bikini Blond Lager - 6 pack
Maui Brewing Company - Coconut Porter - 4 pack
Stone - Ruiniation IPA - 4 pack
Deschutes - Twilight Summer Ale - 6 pack
Founders - Dirty Bastard - 6 pack
Great Divide - 19th Anniversary Ale - Bomber
Stone - Imperial Russian Stout - Bomber
SKA Brewing - Decadent Imperial IPA - Bomber
Lagunitas - Hop Stoopid Ale - Bomber
North Coast - Le Merle saison - Bomber

Also I've got a Montecristo left over from my brother's bachelor party and was wondering which of these beers the FDB would recommend to enjoy with the cigar.

Nice haul!

WIth a cigar?? Darker maybe so the Stone Stout? Might I suggest extracting the tobacco from the wrapper and refilling vessle with some finely ground ganja? Hemostats should work for extraction and a nice pencil works well for insertion. Patience is mos def a viture yo!

Haha, thanks for the suggestion and if i was in college that would be a definite possibility but im not sure my employer would appreciate that too much. Also I wouldn't wanna screw up a $20 cigar.

Curious how this one is. I'm a fan of their Modus Hoperandi IPA. Haven't tried the imperial though.

Not sure where else to put this...



My wife decided to be sweet and buy me a "surprise beer" that i had never tried.

Somehow she did succeed in picking a beer i have never tried...

It wasnt bad for what it is. Not sure how high i am on this style... Much better than a newcastle..

They are. But their good beers aren't available in bottles yet. All we get is their IPA, wheat, etc...

Plain average beers

Should i feel dirty drinking a Goose Island?
Why in the phuk would ABinBev choose to bastardize this Breweries name by purchasing them?

Damnit....

Would still give up a testicle to get their bourbon Co. Stout...

Do they get Bell's in Texas?


ETA: and I'd try to get some of that houston stuff everyone is drinking in the FBD threads these days. What is it? Karbach?

Hop Delusion from Karbach.

I picked up two more bombers yesterday. great stuff.

I still think Buff Bayou's more cowbell is even slightly better, though tremendously harder to find

I don't believe he's finding that at Specs, unless it has been stashed away since January.

The hopslam has been sold out for a while, at least up here. Pick up some Founder's Double Trouble for a good replacement.

I was under the impression that it sold old within hours almost everywhere.

And protip, hit up the Spec's on Wesleyan if the Midtown Spec's is out of a beer. They don't get picked over to the level that the main store does.

And it's Midtown people, not the DOWNTOWN Spec's Yeah, jimmy status = rustled
