@MegJumpTweets @goofydeer Thank YOU. Hope to see you around town, it’s been way too long since we’ve enjoyed a beverage together.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

Almost two years since we shut this puppy down. We ain’t coming back, though. And no, it’s not @goofydeer’s fault. https://t.co/DfXgxyEFWc

@goofydeer Both @oh_okay and I appreciate that. And we’re delighted to have you on. It’s fun doing things with friends.

I’ll forever stand by this final statement: Give a damn about your beer and support the good ones, especially if they are local, and your money will help the rest attend to itself.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

@Punity32 I love them too, it’s the only beer style I still actively go and buy every brewery’s version. I’m going off of local beer stores and liquor stores, so maybe more breweries are just keeping them at the brewery.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

I hate that Oktoberfest beers (both the Marzen and the Festbier) are becoming scarce from newer breweries. Glad all the established breweries, which the newer ones are killing, still make them. I dunno what the statistics are but I rarely meet a person who dislikes them.

Start your weekend early at one of tonight's events! #ntxbw

@ABWGraham 100%.

Yuengling can be seen as a challenge to Texas brewers or seen as a loss or annoyance. Either way, Yuengling has played their hand and now its their turn.

Are they going to grow or poke and make fun of it?

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

In the end, Yuengling will be right back where it is around the country, next to domestic taps and craft taps will be fighting for space just as they always have. Breweries should keep working on making a good product that’s undeniable, instead of complaining about comp.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

Someone mentioned that during this Yuengling launch in Texas, there have been incentives for bars to take off local craft taps for the launch.

That’s the bar’s fault for taking that, not Yuengling or even the distro for offering that. The bar doesn’t have to accept it.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

@virtualToby @CourtyardBrew So far, so good.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

I think instead of craft beer, its good beer, marketing beer, and grandpa’s beer. The nuance is there too, but doesn’t have any form of majority.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

If only “super nice people”, “really great taproom”, “awesome branding”, “rad events” equalled good beer.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

@prairieales Do yall know what the sodium content of a can of this beer is? There is one that is local to me that’s practically a heart attack in a can.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

Somedays I find some hope for Texas breweries (and breweries who send their beers here) and then I think about the beer that distributors here have neglected or ignored to the point of extinction or leaving the state.

We need to dismantle the power distros have in this state.

[Good Brew Guide @goodbrewguide]

@BeerInBigD Unless a brewery does an all day anniversary party where its not a ticketed event, they are all shit shows and I don’t really relish going to them anymore, in that capacity. Besides, with taprooms now, I can just come the next day and drink whats left.

Trying to explain #AmericanCraftBeerWeek to friends:

No, that’s not craft beer.
No, that’s not even considered beer.
No, that used to be craft beer but it got disqualified.
Yeah, it was kicked out, but it’s still tastes really good.

I’m sorry - try to focus...
