Now Available: (512) Whiskey Barrel Aged Double Pecan Porter

Filed under: Uncategorized

Our first barrel project is in kegs and on it’s way to beer bars around Austin. This is a bigger, bolder version of our mainstay Pecan Porter, with a richer finish. Two months on recently emptied Jack Daniels select barrels imparted a wonderful vanilla character from the oak and a pleasant amount of whiskey nose and flavor. All in all, I’m really proud of the hard work and effort put into this beer. Our first attempt at brewing it and our first attempt at managing barrels has paid off for everyone! Seek out this beer, but don’t put it off. There is a very limited number of kegs available and it might go fast…

Thanks for all the support this year and look for a whole lot of (512) activities and exciting beers in 2010!

Falling Rock Tap House Specials

During our recent trip to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, we were fortunate enough to get to hang out at the famous Falling Rock Tap House. A lot of great beer was had while we were here.

We had such a great time at this classic craft brew legend, we had to share a couple of pics. Not only did they add the (512) Pecan Porter to their specials one night but they added the Porter tap handle to the Tap Handle collection.

Thanks Falling Rock and GABF for a great time!

Great American Beer Festival 2009 – DAY 1

Filed under: Current Events, Tastes

Coming to you from sunny but chilly Denver, Colorado at the Great American Beer Festival! The entire show looks awesome with not only a room full of the greatest craft brewers on the planet, but lots of activities, open houses and parties.

Our booth location could not be better. As the guests come in the main entrance, we have the first tasting booth. Each booth is about 10×10. At the back, we found kegs of our 5 beers tapped and iced down (The Wit, Pale, IPA, Pecan Porter and the One), ready for all the thirsty beer enthusiast to taste. We are in the “Southwest” area so we are surrounded by brewers from our area of the country.

Roaming the hall is amazing. I have been to a lot of conferences (mostly corporate trade shows) and this is the largest show I have been too. Over 500 brewers here with over 2100 beers to sample. Obviously, more than any one person can taste, if you do the math, but many will try.

Here is a little video from the first day. Hope you like it!

Look at all these tap handles, slated for many more locations around Austin. Thanks to your continued support, we’re growing rapidly. If you know of a place that should have (512) or doesn’t have your favorite (512) style, please let us know!

To support all the new accounts and at least 5 beers , more fermentation capacity is required, so we located a good used tank and received it this week! Soon it will be installed and ready for fermenting and aging (512) Beers! 80BBL Uni-tank!

This extra fermentation space will enable us to continue to brew exciting and new seasonals while maintaining the four core (512) beers. Speaking of seasonals…

(512) ONE, our 1st Anniversary Ale, is due to be released at the Anniversary Party. I’ll send out an email with the party and beer details soon…

Thanks for all the support and please keep drinking local draft!
