It's not so hard. You just serve it in a Martini glass.

Is there Brrr in the HOF room?!

It's a nightly surprise. Tonight was Pyramid Hef.

No, but I bet there could be if we asked Bill Reed to set it up for us. Maybe in time for the Texas-Pan American game on December 29.

A) I won't be here.
B) I don't have HOF credentials
C) You'd best hurry; my understanding is that Brrr kegs, 1/2 barrels in particular, are scarce right now and no more are coming.

I have a beef here. Widmer pulls the always delicious Okto in early October and starts Brrr. IMO, they need to move the distribution dates forward a few weeks. Okto should be available until Halloween (and no need to start it in mid August--it's still too warm out), which would then make Brrr available at least until New Year's Day.

You know, I agree and I'm not sure why the distribution patterns are the way they are. Widmer's Oktoberfest is at the beginning of September (weekend after Labor Day), so that explains why Okto's out so early. Honestly, though, I'd rather be drinking Citra Blond in early September. I saw Brrr in stores as early as 9/30 this year, which surprised me greatly. I'd love to see it pushed back to 11/1.

"Always leave them wanting more."

I understand this concept... but quite frankly they could make Citra Blond and Okto until St. Patrick's Day, and I would still want more on March 18th...

By the way, if you like Citra, try this. It's not the same but it's similar and tasty in it's own right.

That's a VERY good point, and I too understand the concept; I always thirst for the first opportunity to gulp down a Brrr each fall, but might not feel the same if it was available year-round.

My only beef is ShipstadPilot11:

A) I won't be here.
B) I don't have HOF credentials

Hmm, I gotta admit, he might be a little difficult to get in under the radar (not enough gray hair), but "I won't be here?" Really?

Home for Christmas; coming back on the 1st. Only home game I'll miss this season*

That's the one I'll miss.

I was noticing on the display at the Chiles Center they had the games listing screwed up.

At one point they had us playing TPA twice , and Gonzaga playing us the same day as one of the TPA games.

Tough schedule.


Stoney? You have a handle on that?

Really, you're taking the time to read displays in the Chiles Center? You carry that huge tablet everywhere go....that's where all the "truthiness" is...

Oh... oops. That's what I get for quenching my thirst this early in the day. Talking about Widmer gets me thirsty!
