Re: New competition for 2014 - Katy, TX

I have seen a couple of entries from NTHBA members in Operation Fermentation. Just a quick reminder that entries close on April 19th. Category 10....Brown, Pale or Amber.

Re: Bochet (carmelized) mead

I just brewed a bochet a couple of weeks ago and I gotta say it tasted excellent in the gravity sample. I ended up using 24 lbs of honey and increased the total batch size to almost 7 gallons.

Bluebonnet deadline

I was wondering if anyone up in the DFW area was aware that the AHA website shows the Bluebonnet entry deadline to be Feb 20th and not Feb 15th?

Re: Bluebonnet 2013 Entry Countdown

Dropped mine off on Sunday on a quick trip to DFW.

I also dropped off a 22oz of imperial stout for Kelly if anyone sees him they can let him know who it was from since he wasnt there at opening time on Sunday.

Re: BIG50 Batch #4

And of course the Dixie Cup is in October so you could always enter those beers in Houston.

Re: Big Texas Beer Fest

Probably not but if you tell him who told you to say that he will probably get a laugh out of it. Jacob was a volunteer at No Label with me and he just went to work for them part time doing marketing and stuff. He is also a realtor and has one of those wraps on his car that features his face coverin...

Re: Congratulations 2012 Bluebonnet Winners

Way to go again guys. Once again I am very proud to have been a member of such a fine club. One day if we ever make the move back to the DFW area I would be glad to call myself a member of the NTHBA. Does anyone know when scoresheets will be mailed out? I have seen a couple of folks over on the Nort...

Best place to grab a Deep Ellum brew?

So we are sitting around at the Bluebonnet hotel getting ready to head out to Keller to help Just Dave load up the Big Thirsty bar. Where is the best place to head afterwards to get in touch with some Deep Ellum beer? Do we head to Dallas or Ft Worth? Anyone else have the day off tomorrow and want t...

Re: Calling Don Trotter....come in Don Trotter

I will be there some time on Thursday. It will either be right around lunch time or right around rush hour time. My friend that is coming up with me may have to work a half day on Thursday so we are not sure exactly what time we are pulling out of town yet. I originally had planned to leave Houston ...

Re: Anyone want to grab a beer?

Sorry if I missed any of you. I didnt actually get there until about 9:30 due to some unexpected delays and some rather extensive detours needed in order to avoid the construction at 635 and 35 that I didnt know about until I was stuck in the back up. I will see all of you in a few weeks for the Blu...

Re: Anyone want to grab a beer?

Ok....so I should be to the Saucer in Addison at around 8pm tonight if anyone wants to come up and have a beer. For those of you who don't know me, I was a member of NTHBA several years ago before the wife and I moved to Houston. I will be sporting a blue 25th anniversary Bluebonnet Brew Off t-shirt...

Anyone want to grab a beer?

I will be making a quick trip to the DFW area on Friday the 17th to drop off entries from the CIA members for Bluebonnet. The plan is to leave work at noon, take the kid to the doctor at 1 and hit the road as soon as that is over with. Hopefully be on the road and making good time no later than 3:30...
