The Anti-Hero is perfect for R&Is:

Your photo perfectly masks me behind the Anti-Hero. I'm trying to parse the meaning here... 🤣

[AustinBike]

I think we all know what that means.

A very lightly flavored beer. Somewhat tropical, but hard to tell exactly. Refreshing enough, for what it is.

Bolognese in the foreground (was amazing, super meaty and salty, just what I needed).  Finishing up Bentonville brewing double IPA to the right, and a Commuter Cuveé Pinot from Willamette Valley, OR in the batter’s box.  This is at The Press Room in Bentonville.  Also, the chocolate cookie may have been the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had in my life.

I can't believe nobody called me out on mistaking Bolognese for Carbonara.

[AustinBike]

It is criminal to post up a picture with a double IPA and mention that you are in Bentonville at the same time.

[TheX]

I don't drink so I'll just ask a question.

True? Asking for a friend.

+ I had just done a ride 2-6pm in 70°F weather right after raining.  It sucked opening the door to my car once I made it back home.

Speaking of Double IPAs, first time trying the BoomBox and it was quite good. Chased it with an Axis. Life is good!

[ATXZJ]

This is a good one boys!

Spec's at the dirty southpark meadows location. Could only find in singles but on the prowl for some packs and proving very difficult to find.

Going big on this one. 14.8% of barleywine goodness.

I've been digging the Boombox lately, and the Axis is a long time go-to. I just don't understand why they had to ruin that sampler pack with the Moon Walk. If they replaced that with some Lost Gold, I'd buy a bunch of those packs. 

[AustinBike]

This is how they get rid of the beer that isn't selling....

I kinda like the Moon Walk.

Admittedly, they need to start reducing the amount of ales in their inventory. There's a lot of overlap.

 

[AustinBike]

Overlap?

How about 2 different 12-packs of IPAs?

Oh, and the Centennial Hero is excellent, had one with some Torchy's carryout after a greenbelt ride this morning. Life is good.

[ATXZJ]

Yeah, that could be reduced down to a couple beers real quick. 

[AustinBike]

There was a third twelve that I did not pick up. Let's just say that the first 2 are very different, and both good.

[FrankRizzo]

I'm drinking the PBR 1776 Pack (or a 99 pack if necessary)

I think beer is just like wine. After a few drinks in, people can't tell much difference between offerings.

Same with spirits, especially vodka.

I bought that variety pack and re-tried the Moon Walk. I wouldn't by it alone, but it wasn't as bad as I remember.

Funny enough, I tried to buy some Friday at total wine and they were sold out.

[ATXZJ]

Stopped by OZ taproom off 2222 over the weekend to experience serve yourself beer. Strange days.......

 

[AustinBike]

I absolutely HATE that place.

Went there early on. Their dispensing system was shit and I kept getting half foam beers, probably because I am not a professional bartender. This equals really expensive shitty pours. This is why there are professional bartenders that always get an excellent pour.

You had to put your own food orders in. We both put in our orders (correctly) and both were wrong when delivered.

Then you got your bill and the tip was hard-coded in there at 18%. I poured the beer. I took my own food order. Someone from the kitchen walked it out to me and they were hard coding 18% tip in. When I pointed this out to them they said they could manually over-ride the tip if I wanted them to but "this is how the system was set up by our software vendor..." Bullshit. And asking them to over-ride the tip just makes me THAT guy.

No thanks.

Never going back. And I recommend that nobody here ever goes there either. Maybe they have changed things since then, but if I am going out to have a beer I just want a good experience, not a do it yourself and then stick you up the butt when you are done.

Now you damn kids get off my lawn!!!!!!
