Beer Bums Meeting – March 2017

The Madness of March with several maddening beers and a lot of variety.  The Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero was my personal favorite, while the Illustrated Man was like biting into a tart blackberry.  All capped off with the Firestone Walker Bravo which is a Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Brown Ale.  Excellent finish to the meeting.

Tallboys!  What a perfect container of beer!  16 oz of pure beer bliss. 12 oz never seems like enough and the tallboy is the perfect solution.

Beer Bums Meeting – March 2015 – SXSW Beers

Beers with some tie to SXSW was our theme for March which allowed for plenty of creativity, pun intended.  These were all Texas beers as well, and all but one from Austin.  I was surprised at the Circle Blur which was a good classic German Hefeweizen, but the Gypsy Dubbel Coffee Porter took the prize as the best of the bunch.
