You make me feel like dancing…

You’re gonna dance the night away with this weeks new beverages on offer! We were feeling our flaked oats with a bevy of IPAs this week; some reintroductions from stalwarts like Friends & Allies and Saint Arnold, a new and improved 512 Juicy IPA (but don’t call her hazy), and this year’s vintage of Hail Juicifer from Roughtail.  As summer comes to an end, we’re that much closer to October. So, why not more Oktoberfest beers?! This week’s renditions are from O’dell and Saint Arnold.

Lemme tell ya about this week’s two new super cool wines. First up is the Enzo from Wonder Werk wines in California. This bad boy has all the heart and  passion of a Ferrari. Vroom Vroom… It’s ready to take Le Mans and your taste buds by strom. The folks behind this gem are quite the fans of lambrusco, which combined with the slightly obscure Freisa verietial, a dazzling pét nat has been born. There’s lot of cranberry on the nose, a bright prickly body paired with deep red fruit notes. We’re here for it, hunty. Our other new friend, Casa Libre’s Seite Perros, is your new loyal partner for pizza night and beyond. Hand harvested, native yeast, and no added oak come together to give you that full bodied Cab experience you’ve been looking for, sans the fruit bomb. Buddy, here’s your new go to red.

We hope you can make it out tomorrow night, Friday the 26th, for our pint night with 101 Cider House. Their Gunpowder Guava is on tap, and it has the firepower to light your fuse. It’s quite quaffable indeed. The next event on our radar is with Blue Norther hard seltzer on September the 10th. Rumor has it that the folks from Celis should be stopping in soon… but you’ll have to check back in for the details on that rumor.

We’re excited to announce that Thirsty Planet’s Spot on Pils, Thirsty Goat Amber, and Buckethead IPA are all part of our Brewery of the Month for the end of August and through September. They’re all coming in at $8.99!

Later, y’all.

Odell Rupture – Rupture was born out of our obsession with getting the most out of each and every hop. In fact, we built a machine in our brewery to incorporate a unique fresh grind process.

Lakewood Punkel – Is there a better fall treat than pumpkin pie? Nope, which is why there are so many pumpkin beers out there. It’s also why ours is based on the dessert, not the gourd.

Because who doesn’t like a little trick with their treat?

Weathered Souls Check – A non-nonsense, effervescent, fruity, spicy, delectable fall saison that goes perfectly with Texas BBQ & a beautiful Fall Texas sunset.

New Wines This Week

(On-Premise Consumption or Off-Premise Crowlers)

WonderWerk Enzo Fresia Pet Nat 2020 – These vintners are Lambrusco lovers. As we tested coupe after coupe of fast red bubbles at a favorite downtown LA perch last summer, it became clear that we needed a car in the race. On a track filled with Lambo, we pay homage to Ferrari.

Enzo is a carbonic maceration of Freisa expressed as a pet nat riff on a Piemontese classic. Where in the heck did we find Freisa? The Siletto family farms a an incredible array of classic Italian varieties in Tres Pinos, near Hollister in San Benito County. 100% Freisa 12% ABV

Casa Libre, Siete Perros, Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 – Don´t be fooled by the apparent robustness of our bulldog Humphrey. Our Cabernet Sauvignon from the Los Guindos vineyard in Maipo Valley is friendly and easy to drink. Made with organic grapes hand-harvested from a carefully selected vineyard, this wine s pure and captivating. It was fermented with its native yeasts, and they didn’t use any kind of oak during its aging to preserve its freshness and fruit notes. 13%ABV
