Just three of us met at Frisco Tap House for DC Brau Pint Night. Instead of sitting in our normal location in the quiet backroom, we sat at the high common tables near the bar. It was a bit louder room but not too bad on this slow night. 

I sampled Z’s DC Brau Double IPA (I think it was On The Wings of Armageddon). It was a nice IIPA but I was not in the mood. The Penn Quarter Porter was also available but this hot summer night was not the time for this great porter. I went with El Hefe Speaks, a mild, hazy hefeweizen with lots of banana esters; perfect after a hot day of yard work. Plus, when buying a DC Brau this pint night, I received a pint glass. The pint glass is the very popular can-shaped glass.

As luck would have it, Frisco happened to have 2 cask beers from Goonda Beersmiths. SPBW had an event at Frisco last Thursday and Goonda beers were still available. Liz Murphy had introduced me to Tim Scouten of Goonda about a year ago but I have not run across these highly acclaimed brewery’s beers.

I ordered the Post Candy Bar, a complex stout on cask. It was an amazing beer with vanilla, caramel, mint, chocolate, coffee and maybe even a little licorice flavors. I savored this delicious beer and agree that this brewery is as good as advertised.

BTW, I just got a text from Justin of Allview Liquors. In his words, “Just in a ton of new hazy beers plus much more limited beer.”

Cheers!
