(paging DallasTiger)

Where can I find Racer 5 six-packs in the Dallas-Forth Worth area? I'll be in town for the LSU game in a few weeks and was looking to stock up.

I'll be staying in downtown Fort Worth. Where is the easiest place to find it?

Whole Foods has it.

ETA: If you like Racer 5, you should get some Brooklyn East India Pale Ale. They are different but equally good.

Yes, it is. My favorite American IPA. ut is looking for six packs because it is only in big bottles in BR.

I asked colandros why they don't carry racer 5 very often and they said it didn't sell well. I was very confused, I figured it had to be the best selling IPA around here.

I think we have may here in BR, unless I thinking about something else. Can anyone verify? I'll give it a shot either way.

Sweet. Looks like the one in Arlington is the closest one to where I will be.

I have learned my lesson about drinking this on tap in bars, it goes down way too easy and I get black out drunk. Getting it to go is the way to go, better buy two.

Call me crazy, but the drunk I get from Racer 5 is awesome, better than other beers. Almost somewhat like a high.

Marcello's stocks the bombers and the bar has it on tap. I love this beer.

Easily one of my top three IPAs. I'll be headed to Healdsburg next week, and I'm going to be in heaven. Russian River Brewing, Bear Republic, North Coast, Lagunitas, Moonlight Brewing... My head's going to be spinning (the room, too, I'm sure)!

Which of their brews are you interested in? I'll be happy to ship you a few as repayment for recommending a pro-Tigers spot to watch the game in SF.
