Whip-In Acquires Brewhouse

It has been long rumored that Dipak was looking to add even another facet to the already Swiss Army Knife-like bottle shop down south.

From the horse’s mouth:

Just scored a deal on our brewing system! Smaller than i wanted but its a start! more details as it arrives in july!!! many thanx to Twisted X Brewing for the help!

No word on a brewer, yet.

Knockin’ em Back at Thunderbird Coffee Part 1

So this is happening, again.

Got some more feedback, found another sponsor, even had a guest on. Yup.

That jerk from Craft Austin came out and talked and dranked with us.

This Knockin’ em Back brought to you by the rad dudes at Thunderbird Coffee. We were at the Manor Location, also check out the Koenig spot. We love them, they love us, they gave us beer, we talked into our magic podcast machine.

This is a long one. Maybe take it in doses. We meant to break it up into two, but because we talked about so much time sensative data, it wouldn’t have made sense to hear the second part next week.

Golly. Podcasting is hard.

Aside from Aaron/CraftAustin and myself, JIB sat in, Josh/Brad/Little Beard (one of our newest contributors) and Chris (one of the Thunderbird owners) also drank and talked.

Yeah. We talk about SXSW beer stuff (look for a post on this early next week), the Austin Homebrew party, the (512) Spring Open House, Whip-In’s new growler option, the Live Oak Primus and how to pronounce it, the Live Oak Liberation IPA, the Beer Connoisseur Party, and the ManUpTexasBBQ Gettin’ Sauced event.

See why it’s an hour?

This one is a little more tame than the last, but still, not appropriate for Sunday School.

Thanks for listening.

BeerTownAustin’s Best Stuff of 2009 Results!!!!

Chris Troutman — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:46:54 +0000

The results are in. There were a total of 78 respondents (not bad for our first try at something like this) over five days.

So I took a Research Methods class… I just forgot to test the survey before publishing it. Dr. Peirce would be disappointed. Based on the results I realize that the term “regional” wasn’t clear enough. Originally it was within the context of local, regional, national, international. But for a free membership on Survey Monkey you are only allowed 10 question surveys so when I eliminated the national and international categories, it made “regional” a relative term.

So I’m sorry if it was confusing.

Blah blah blah. Here are the results. Top two of each category are listed.

1. Best ATX Bar

Draught House

Flying Saucer

2. Best ATX Brewpub

Uncle Billy’s Brew & Que

Draught House

3. Best ATX Beer Store/Market

Spec’s

Whip in

4. Best ATX Beer Event
