The Cowtown Chronicles

Ryan Place resident John MacFarlane is coordinating a group trip to the Rahr & Sons Brewery on April 25th for Ryan Place residents. Meet him at triangle park at 12:30, bring your Rahr pint glass (if you have one), and $5.

It only takes a couple of clicks — Hop on over to The Full Pint and vote for your favorite “Down South” craft brewery, which I’m assuming to be Rahr and Sons right here in FW.

It only takes a couple of minutes, and right now Rahr is losing to some toolbags in Florida. Come on — we can beat Florida, right?

Go vote now by clicking here.

Also — is Texas really “Down South?” It appears that the new owners of Ol’ South Pancake House think so, but I’ve always thought of Texas (and particularly Fort Worth) as being a Western state.

Fritz,

I’m sorry I said what I did during Podcast Episode 9. Literally the day after we recorded that show, I ran into Mark and Jamie downtown and they clued me in to what was going on with the pricing. I should have known that you can’t control the price at retail, and it doesn’t surprise me at all that some retailers would take advantage of your success and quality product by marking it up beyond all reason. I still highly recommend your beers when I’m out with friends or encounter someone who needs guidance while at the store.

PS: The Oktoberfest has really grown on me, as well! I like that it’s more balanced than what we typically get, and while I am still a die-hard fan of malty beers, your Oktoberfest is an excellent alternative to those overly sweet offerings from other folks. I can’t wait for Winter Warmer!
