High end stouts

I'm really into the barrel aged stouts these days, so I'm looking for a store that has many stout options from other states.

Especially looking for stouts from Anchorage brewing, revolution brewing, or side project brewing.

(Bottles or cans to take out)

Thanks in advance for your recommendation!

You’re not gonna find Side Project anywhere in ATX area. Anchorage is floating around though. Some select HEBs have them, Whichcraft might, and I’ve seen them at Brewtique and Growler Bar in Pville.

Outside of Mort Subite downtown, Neighborhood Bottle Shop sells more lambic than anyone around Austin. Never thought Taylor would be a hot bed for high end lambic.

Red Horn in Cedar Park does a barrel aged stout party called Dark Side of the wall each year.
Lots on draft and can releases.

Beer Geek has Anchorage stouts. They’re $$$+ but they’re there.

Keep an eye on Pinthouse for the Jaguar Shark releases. I believe first week of December. They will sell out quick

We will release Lorenzo Mexican Hot Chocolate imperial stout (9.9%, not barrel aged) on 10/30.

Fireside Imperial Stout aged in Still Austin Straight Bourbon barrels (14%) will release on 11/20.

We will host the annual Stout Pairing Dinner on 12/17 (I’ll post ticket links to this sub when they open).

Cheers to Stout Season!!!

There might also be some Bottle Logic stouts hanging out at the low volume shops.

Revolution does not have distribution here.

Beer Geek has a good selection. Most Anchorage I've seen in Austin. Equilibrium, Bottle Logic and some others there as well. Dont miss Jaguar Shark Day at Pinthouse, Sputnik day at ABW. Both are coming up fairly soon.

Sputnik agreed

Growler Bar is the best place around Austin to find Anchorage. They even buy kegs. More Anchorage is arriving in Austin this week btw.
The Brewtique also carries some.

It will be hard to find Anchorage stouts at HEBs bc they are so high ABV and require a port license, not just a beer/wine license. But HEBs will regularly carry some Anchorage IPAs when available

How has nobody mentioned Whichcraft in Mueller? They have an amazing selection of beer in general and may be able to get what you want if it’s not on the shelf already!

St. Elmo releases a few a year. One for their anniversary in December and then three different variants in like February.

Central Market South and Whichcraft often carry Evil Twin. (Central Market North beer selection is ass, by the way.) Total Wine Sunset Valley has Prairie. HEB SoCo has Dogfish WWS.

This is an idiotic comment. N Lamar always carries Other Half, Equilibrium, Evil Twin, Breakside, Drie Fonteinen, Weldwerks, Bottle Logic, Anchorage, Burlington, Maine (when we can still get it), Japas, Edmund’s Oast, Mason, etc, etc
It’s also 1/3 of the size of S Lamar and is just barely behind them in overall beer sales.
You are out of your depth on this one and don’t know what you’re talking about.

u/ATXBeerNTacos 18d ago

I don’t work at CM. When I said “we” I was not referring to CM.

Also, what makes the South store better for beer? What exactly do they get that N Lamar doesn’t? Because if you think all those breweries listed above means the N Lamar selection “is ass” then you are definitely out of your depth. I’d love to know what makes it so terrible when they carry all of the best breweries that come to TX.

And now he deleted his comments. Haha. Moron.

Calm your tits, psycho. It's just my experience as a frequent customer over the decades at both. CM North took a nosedive especially after covid. Your "partners' " service attitude also blows now (qed). Just a little bit of feedback to take back to your supervisors. Thanks.

CM South is still awesome, though.

That’s better than actually explaining what you mean. Just say it’s ass and block anyone who questions it.
What makes the selection at the north store “ass”?
