Where does the time go, y’all? It barely feels like we’re a month past the ice storm in my mind. The good news is we’ve got lots of fun new items in to make the rest of your week very memorable.
There’s a whole slew of fruited IPAs on offer from Decadent ales, Chimay dropped a special 2018 barrel aged gem, and even more Põhjala! We’ve got two great new whites in this week from Washington that should be instant go to choices. And check out that draft section… EIGHT, yes count ’em, eight new brews since last week! Never doubt our love for you dear customer.
Circle was a huge hit for our June brewery of the month, so we’re keeping them for July! We’ve got Envy Amber, Blur Hefe, and Alibi Blond all for $7.99!
Later, y’all.

New Wines This Week
(On-Premise Consumption or Off-Premise Crowlers)
Popup Sparkling 2019 – The 2019 Popup is 100% Chardonnay and comes from the Evergreen Vineyard in the Ancient Lakes region in Washington State. Released with around 8 grams of dosage, it has a clean, pretty nose of tart lemons, green apple, and mint, with a good kiss of sulfur that takes some time to blow off. Hitting the palate with medium-bodied richness, it’s nicely balanced and has integrated acidity, plenty of fruit, and a great finish. Just make sure you give bottles plenty of air if drinking any time soon. It’s a terrific value in juicy, delicious sparkling wines. 12.5% ABV
Substance Chardonnay 2019 – A straightforward, fruity chardonnay with sliced ripe apple and some vanilla character. It’s medium-bodied with a firm texture and a pleasing, juicy and flavorful finish. Hint of toasty character. Barrel-fermented with native yeasts. Drink now. 14% ABV
New Draft Beers This Week
(On-Premise Consumption or Off-Premise Crowlers)
Save the World Rex Servus Grisette– A light beer with fabulous flavor, hint of lemon tartness and utterly refreshing. 4.2% ABV
Bluebonnet Amber Ale – This crowd favorite is based upon an award-winning recipe from David’s home brewing days. A non-traditional American amber with a large dose of Cascade hops resulting in a strong hop aroma and flavor profile supported by a firm, malty backbone. Think of it like an amber colored IPA without the high degree of bitterness. 6.5% ABV
Texas Keeper Cortland Demi-Sec– This is a Cortland-Honeycrisp blend that reminded us so much of German Rieslings, we decided to leave it a tad sweeter than our typical dry ciders. Citrus blossom on the nose, honeyed apricot on the palate, this is our first “Demi-Sec” cider. 7.6% ABV
Zilker Wolfmobile– This lager is unlike any we’ve made before…we utilized the hop back filled whole leaf strata hops to transfer the delicate oils, flavor and aroma that would otherwise be lost in the boiler. Add a touch of Simcoe, the same yeast used in pilsgnar and voilà! The result is a crispy pour with big berry blast flavors and a pillowy mouthfeel. It’s refreshing, light and may give you the energy of Scott Howard in Teen Wolf. 5.3% ABV
Zilker Over Asking DIPA – This east side gem was just listed! The fresh interior features tropical-fruity flavors with a subtly sweet and creamy foundation. OVER ASKING DIPA is giving us major pineapple upside down cake vibes with a mango-pine aroma. Hot neighborhood, close to HEB, small lot, stainless steel appliances not included. 8.5% ABV
Adelbert’s Hibiscus Saison –This saison’s pink color inspired us to give a percentage of the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Texas. Brewed with hibiscus flowers and dry hopped with Citra, this ale blends a hint of tartness with notes of tropical fruit and citrus. We recommend pairing it with fresh fruit salad, lemon tarts or Hawaiian pulled pork. 5.6%
Meanwhile Always For Pleasure – We put our heads together with the Kinda Tropical team to produce a supremely crushable and obviously tropical Hazy Pale. Ask and you shall receive. A smooth, wheat forward malt body. We taste papaya, mango, tangerine, and guava. 5.7% ABV
Meanwhile Secret Beach IPA – A San Diego Style IPA with a light biscuity malt character that allows the hop flavors to shine through. Notes of marmalade, blueberries and the devil’s lettuce. 6.2%ABV 55IBU
