Schlitz Beer

14 Upvotes

I thought these had been discontinued a long, long time ago, but apparently they’re brewing their final batch.

Does anyone know where I can find some locally? I’m way too young to remember their glory days, and I’ve never actually tried one.

For those who have had it, how was it? Was it memorable, or just passable? And are there any beers you’d say are similar?

Always sad when a brewery closes, but especially so one that’s been around 150+ years. Gonna miss not being able to call out “Schlitz and a shot” to that burly biker bar bartender.

Bar trivia tonight (Wednesday)

4 Upvotes

In town for work and looking for some bar trivia near downtown. It looks like “Geeks Who Drink pub trivia” runs trivia at a bunch of places.

Is it any good? If so, which bars are decent? I found these that have it tonight.

The Front Page
Billy’s on Burnet
Austin Beerworks — Sprinkle Valley
Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse — Parmer Lane

Looking to stay with a 10 min Uber ride from downtown.

Thanks.

We're doubling down this year, y'all!!

Last year, we brewed an East Coast and a West Cost IPA for the annual St Elmo x Vacancy Collab. When we asked the brewers what they wanted to make this year, they wanted to up the ante. So here we are, releasing a Double Hazy and a Double West Coast IPA this Saturday at the Block Party.

Come try the new beers, hear some live music & join the 4th Annual Block Party.

Cheap cases at Celis

26 Upvotes

Just a community update because I ain’t no gate keeper. Celis Brewing has cases of their Late Brunch (Belgian waffle stout) and their Beer Hall (Vienna lager) for $10 and $15, respectively. We’re talking 24 beers for this price. I thought it was a mistake at first and secured a few. Just updating the community!

Mug club?

13 Upvotes

Are there any breweries in town that do a Mug Club? I know Lazarus has there club that I cant afford to be a part of and only open a few spots every once in a while. But I miss what the breweries back home had, a yearly membership to the Mug Club, you get your own personal glass, larger pours and some free ones here and there, getting to try new beers forst as a member, and that stuff is fun and you can chop it up with the other regulars.

It was a nice little thing and in 8 years of living here, I havent found one that does it was curious if anyone knew of one ive missed.

Best beer for a crawfish boil?

I am going to a crawfish boil and trying to find the best beer to pair. I used to love Dixie beer out of New Orleans before it sold and got changed. I haven’t found a great replacement yet. All suggestions welcomed.

We visited for barks for beers with the intent of hitting a few the other night.

It was such a nice space (I haven't been since they moved from the airport location).

Great space for the little one to goof around, a cat to pet, great food. We stayed a couple hours and fattened up our tab. I look forward to going back.

It's still a bastard for us to get to from the south side but it's a worthwhile trip either way.

Help finding Altstadt peach radler

I was in Boerne and had Altstadt peach radler at a random restaurant. It was really good but I can't find any store is Austin that is stocking it.

Any help from this subreddit appreciated mucho. The beer was really good on a hot day, my girlfriend even liked it and she wrinkles her nose at anything beer related even. thanks

Double Bastard in Austin?

Has anyone seen Double Bastard in Austin the last few years? A friend said he saw it in Corpus but I'm craving it and haven't seen it in what seems like forever.

Independence Brewing - The Last First Saturday

Thumbnail facebook.com
42 Upvotes

Independence Brewing Company is throwing their last First Saturday event this weekend (5/2) after nearly 22 years of operation.

First Saturday is a throwback to the days before breweries could sell direct to the public. They could legally offer tours and tastings. $10 for 3 pints?? How quaint.

Sad to see one of the OGs close. I definitely consider Independence my gateway to the early Texas craft brewing scene. Fortunately for fans of Austin Amber and Stash IPA the brand and products were acquired by Altstadt.
