Beer Bums Meeting – January 2017

Our meeting can run from 100 degrees and sunny to snow.  January was freezing, with no snow, but one of our coldest meetings nonetheless. We always kick off the year with our favorite beers of the previous year.  Mine was the Saint Arnold Art Car IPA, but all the offerings were great.  The Elysian Space Dust was a favorite from our Holiday Party and nice to try it again with a fresh palate.

Beer Bums Meeting – April 2015 – Spring Beers

We chose a loose theme of Spring beers to open things up:  A beer that has something to do with spring either in the label or the beer itself or whatever.  Another broad spectrum of beers with the Meta Modern Session IPA being my personal favorite as it just smelled and tasted like spring as well as the can looking very spring inspired with all the purple.  The rest of the beers were all very good and light and easy drinking which is alway good for Spring.

A look back at our favorite beers of 2014.  I brought the Founders Dirty Bastard as it stood out for me from last year. All great selections including the Big Bend La Frontera IPA which was a pleasant surprise.  Austin Beerworks English IPA was a nice bonus beer too.
