Costco big Xmas beer from anchor. It's a 750ml bottle next to it. Was 14.00

[asshanson]

Ah, the classic Magnum bottle from Anchor. Nice.

This to-go beer place is about to open near my house, 50 taps.





A new bar just opened down the street with 126 taps, and another 100 bottles.

Mark, any idea if there are some sours out there that would be worth trying to trade for in return for something Surly? Darkness or other...? War & Peace or Worthy Adversary? Since I have a couple of each yet...

[A//// Guy]

No idea how beer can stay fresh in places with that many taps, crazy!

I've often wondered the same thing. My guess is they're not tapping 16 gallon kegs and going with the smaller ones...which seems to be common for a lot of craft breweries to use anyway.

Yeah i would say the lower volume beers are probably 5 or 8 gallon kegs. And they should stay fresh on tap for a couple months, since they are fed C02 constantly.

But also a place like that probably moves beer at a decent pace. Places I've been around the cities that have a lot on tap keep some of the same ones constantly just new kegs... and the rotating stuff doesn't last long, especially if it is popular.

I've heard of that brewery, but never went looking for their beer. Is it available in the DFW area?

[rose0529]

I've also heard Russian River Brewing in CA has some really good sours.
