Bought a growler from the co-op I belong to, Black Star, a few days ago and filled it with “Hey, Joe!” coffee stout from NXNW. Sipping on it right now, and I’ve gotta say, it’s one of the best beers I’ve ever had.

Good times were had at Billy’s on Burnet with Austin Beerworks and Beer Town Austin.
I really enjoyed dinner and beer at Black Star last night. For starters, I ordered the Tofu Popcorn which was heavily spiced and perfectly crisp. It went perfect with the Thirsty Planet wheat beer I was drinking. I also had a Black Star Burger, ordered medium-well with lettuce, tomato, sharp cheddar, and beer mustard. It was delicious and one of the better burgers I’ve had. Unfortunately they just started brewing so none of their own brews were ready to serve up. No worries though, I’ll be back a million times.

There’s definite beauty in brewery equipment.
World’s ‘oldest beer’ found in shipwreck
“It seems that we have not only salvaged the oldest champagne in the world, but also the oldest still drinkable beer. The culture in the beer is still living.”
“…the cold sea water was a perfect way to store the spirits, with the temperature remaining a near-constant 4-5 degrees Celsius (around freezing temperature in Fahrenheit, or 32 degrees) and no light to expedite the spoiling process.”
