Goose Island Migration Week is Coming to WhichCraft. Stone Go-To Six Packs just $6.99 While Supplies Last!

All weekend long, WhichCraft Beer Store will be offering six packs of Stone Go-To IPA in 16oz cans for only $6.99. This session IPA boasts all the gloriously bitter, citrusy, piney flavor of Stone’s bigger / industrial-strength IPAs, but with a significantly lower alcohol-by-volume (4.5%) allowing IPA fans to enjoy more of this amazingly, hoppy beer over a longer session, without giving up any of that gloriously crave-able botanically-driven dankness. Its the perfect hoppy beer for these last lingering days of summer so hurry in. These beers wont last long.


Next Tuesday, September 13th, WhichCraft Beer Store will be hosting a Meet The Brewer event as part of Goose Island’s Migration Week. We will be serving up free samples Four Star Pils, Green Line IPA, Matilda and Sofie from 6:00 PM until the end of the event. We’ll also be receiving, sampling, and selling three different rare beers from Goose Island. Details on how the raffles will work are here.

Tuesday the 13th also happens to be HAAM Benefit Day. The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians aims to provide access to affordable health care for Austin’s low-income, uninsured working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. As a way of supporting this important organization, WhichCraft Beer Store will be donating 5% of the day’s proceeds to HAAM. For more information on HAAM Benefit Day, please visit their website.

Two-Row Northwest Pale, Caramel, and Munich malts provide the right amount of malt character. 6.5% ABV / Hood River, OR / Beeradvocate 87 / Availability: Decent
