In its most simplest form, a Crowler is a big ass can of beer. If that’s all you came for, then you’re good to go to your next stop as you kill time at work thinking about beer related things instead of well, work. But in typical Beer Chronicle fashion...
I've got a good friend that drinks Dos Equis exclusively. I've tried to get him into craft a few times, but there just aren't many Mexican lager options for those people. It's something that leaves me torn because as a beer nerd, I'm not...
Baa Baa Brewhouse Double Play has a pleasant citrus flavor at the beginning and finishes with a very slight mosaic flavor at the end. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy, while the body is creamy and smooth. The astringency is very low and hardly noticeable. The drinkabilty is super easy from beginning to end....
I havn't seen much of Blackwater Draw in Houston and I had never tried Contract Killer until a unexpected trip out of town thanks to Hurricane Harvey. Luckily enough for my family and I we took a weekend trip to Austin to get out of the path of Hurricane Harvey.

Texas Secession pours clearer than a Texas summer sky with a little bit of head that exits left stage and leaves no encore in the way of lace. It's golden amber like waves of grace. The flavor is...
Cycler's Bonked is one of the best pumpkin beers I've ever had. For a beer that's named after cycling jargon for being tired and made in a style that so many people are tired of (or flat out hate), it's definitely...
I was lucky enough to get a Crowler of Whole Foods Brewing DL Wet Hop by way of Sam. He's up there enough that they probably oughta put his butt to work, but that's another story for another time. It's a fresh...
The aroma of Whole Foods Wet Hop Explorer is danky, grassy, and hoppy. It literally reminds me of high school when I said "I'll meet you after seventh period man". It's plain ridiculous! The pour provides plenty of head and the lacing is right on point....
