Circle Brewing news
They’ve secured a space. (And sorry for the light posting this week — SXSXW.) Press release:
You will be pleased to know that we have signed the lease on our brewery location! We are located in North Central Austin, near the corner of Braker Ln. and Kramer Ln, at 2340 W Braker Ln, Suite B, Austin, TX 78758. You can view the location on Google Maps here. We are very excited about the new home for Circle Brewing, boasting a spacious 8,100 sqft for us to grow and expand our operations in the years to come. The geographic location also has a number of benefits for us, specifically allowing easy access to Mopac and I-35 for deliveries to Austin, Round Rock, and beyond. You can also go to the website and check out our blog for a few pictures of the space.
Our lease begins on April 1st, and we anticipate a timeline of approximately six months to build out the brewery and prepare it for operations. While we have much work ahead of us until we are ready for our first brew, we can’t wait to get in the space and get our hands dirty. So, keep spreading the word about Circle Brewing Company, because it is a simple matter of time before we are in your favorite watering hole.
We will keep you updated as things progress. We will also keep a flow of information and pictures of the build out of the brewery space on the blog, so keep checking that for our development progress. It is a very exciting time for Circle Brewing Company and we hope that you are as excited as we are.
Cheers, Ben and Jud

Brew Dog extravaganza at Draught House Thursday
Assuming you’re not with the whole rest of the world standing outside La Zona Rosa trying to see John Hiatt, Ray Davies and Roky Erickson with Okkervill River Thursday night, our man Josh Wilson at the Draught House Pub & Brewery has an unbeatable deal: A Brew Dog tasting with a half-dozen or more beers, each one crazier than the last, and snacks provided. Stop by for a $25 ticket in advance because this one looks to sell out. The lineup from Wilson:
BrewDog Zeitgeist Black Lager.
4.9% ABV 30 IBU’s
Malts Lager Malt, Caramalt, Munich Malt, Chocolate Malt
Hops Cascade
Zeitgeist does not presume to tell you how it will affect your senses, the experience is yours to define! At the invisible insurrection of the Zeitgeist it was written that the black liquid delivered at once tinges of roast malt and overripe autumnal fruit before revealing its true dark lager credentials with a clean crisp and refreshing finish.
BrewDog Punk IPA.
6% ABV 65 IBU’s
Malts Marris Otter Extra Pale Malt
Hops Chinook Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin
An inherently contradictory take on a classic style. This is a light golden colour with tropical fruits and a light caramel on the nose. The Palate soon becomes assertive and resinous with the NZ hops balanced by biscuit malt. The finish is aggressive and dry with the hops emerging over the warming alcohol.
BrewDog Dogma Scottish Ale.
7.8% ABV 65 IBU’s
Malts Marris Otter Extra Pale, Caramalt, roasted barley, Dark Krystal Malt, Munich Malt
Hops Bramling Cross, Amarillo
Brewed with Scottish Heather Honey, Poppy Seed, Kola Nut and Guarana.
A conspiracy of transcontinental ingredients infused with some devastatingly BrewDog imaginative thinking.
BrewDog Bashah Black Belgian Double IPA.
8.5% ABV 90 IBU’s
Malt Marris Otter, Dark Crystal, Caramalt, Chocolate Malt
Hops Hercules Warrior, Amarillo, Centenial
Bashah - Black as Sin Hoppy as Hell. The latest collaboration between BrewDog and the Stone Brewing Co from California. Made at BrewDog in Scotland this is a nice amalgamated cocktail of cocoa, sweetened clove, crème caramel with little spikes of lime freshness.
BrewDog Hardcore IPA
9% ABV 100 IBU’s
Malts Marris Otter Extra Pale Malt
Hops Simcoe, Chinook, Amarillo and Warrior
This Golden Imperial Ale rocks! A delicately robust malt toffee canvas is the setting for the ensuing epic. The aromatic kiwi, lychee, pine and big hop flavours kink in and leave your mouth punished and puckering for more. The addictive underlying sweet caramel and full bodied, dry finish ensure you can’t put it down for long.
BrewDog Paradox
10% ABV 70 IBU’s
Malts, Marris Otter, Dark Crystal, Caramalt, Chocolate Malt Roast Barley
Hops Galena, Bramling Cross
Paradox see’s our killer Imperial Stout aged in amazing malt whisky casks from some of Scotland’s most famous distilleries.
The flavours, aromas and intricacies of the whisky are beautifully infused deep into the soul of our smooth, robust base beer.
Isle of Arran is charactised by dark bitter chocolate and autumnal fruits.
Smokehead is a demonic rollercoaster of a beer with smoke, sea salt and oak pulling you ever closer to the dark side.
Tokyo is brewed with jasmine and cranberries as well as a large amount of malts and the finest American hops, was fermented by a skilled team of brewers with a champagne yeast to enable the high ABV. The beer was then dry hopped before being aged on toasted French vanilla oak chips to give it an entirely unique flavour.

Woodford Reserve master distiller Chris Morris visits
And, lucky me, I got to have lunch with him at Opal Divine’s Freehouse Thursday, after which we repaired to the upstairs bar to sample some of the good stuff.
Morris started working weekends at the bourbon distillery at 18 while going to college. Now he’s the top guy at a distillery that uses techniques that were in favor a century ago — they’re essentially using microdistillery techniques to make a mass market product, although, as Morris pointed out, they’ll never be as big as a Jim Beam. For instance, all their notes are hand-written and there’s a minimum of computers and other technology. And, turns out, they’re the only distillery in the world that makes its own barrels, with wood from Minnesota, the Ozarks and Appalachia. They also use unfiltered limestone well water and are the only distillery to triple-distill.
In addition to their flagship, we sampled the fourth release of their Master’s Collection, one-of-a-kind batches, this one aged in seasoned oak. It was much darker and more on the sweet side, with notes of molasses and caramel. Opal’s owner Michael Parker took a taste and said, “Wow. It’s like the holidays all over again.”
Bottles of Master’s Collection are still available in town — going for around $80 or more — but when they’re gone, they’re gone forever.

Kilkenny Irish Ale on draft at Fado
If you like Smithwick’s or Boddington’s, give this a try. Kilkenny is a nitrogenated, sessionable Irish red, perfect for sustaining you through watching a soccer game, schlepping to SXSW day shows or, if you dare, braving St. Patrick’s Day festivities downtown.
The color is a nice light amber, the lace stays with you all the way to the end. The style is not my absolute favorite — hops! I demand hops! — but it’s a comfortable, restorative pint, especially sitting in the rambling confines of Fado.

Craft beer sales up in ‘09, overall beer sales down
So sayeth the Brewers Association. Press release:
BREWERS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES 2009 CRAFT BREWER SALES NUMBERS
Craft brewer sales grow 7 percent in a year of decreased beer sales for other brewers
Boulder, CO • March 8, 2010—The Brewers Association, the trade association that tabulates production statistics for US breweries, today released 2009 data on the U.S. craft brewing industry. In a year when other brewers saw a slowdown in sales, small and independent craft brewers saw sales dollars increase 10.3 percent and volume increase 7.2 percent2 over 2008, representing a growth of 613,992 barrels equal to roughly 8.5 million cases.
Overall, U.S. beer sales were down approximately 5 million barrels (31 gallons per U.S. barrel) in 2009.
“Beer lovers continue to find great value and enjoyment in fuller flavored craft beers,” said Paul Gatza, director of the Brewers Association. “Americans have an increasing appreciation of craft beers, and the growing number of brewers behind them. They’re eager to try the latest seasonal release and to sample a variety of beers from different breweries.”
In 2009, craft brewers represented 4.3 percent of volume and 6.9 percent of retail dollars for the total U.S. beer category. With the total U.S. beer industry representing an estimated retail dollar value of $101 billion, the Brewers Association estimates the actual dollar sales figure from craft brewers in 2009 was $7 billion, up from $6.3 billion in 2008.
The total number of U.S. craft brewers grew from 1,485 to 1,542 in 2009, and they produced 9,115,635 barrels, up from 8,501,713 barrels in 2008. Overall U.S. beer sales fell from approximately 210.4 million barrels to 205.8 million barrels.

From the Now I’ve Seen Everything Dept.
At the very end of the Interwebs, there’s a bare-bones appreciation for Milwaukee’s Best, which the author calls “probably the best tasting beer on the planet.”
PROBABLY?

Spring open house at (512) Brewing
If your dance card isn’t full enough with SXSW and what-all, here’s one more thing to keep in mind. From 2-5 p.m. March 20, Kevin Brand’s (512) Brewing is having an open house at the brewery and tapping its spring alt.

Austin Homebrew’s move just an excuse to party
I’m approximately the last Austin beer blogger to report this, but Austin Homebrew Supply is having a party from noon-5 p.m. March 13 to celebrate its new location at 9129 Metric Blvd.
Expect three bands, food and “frosty beverages” at the 18,000 square-foot facility.
Reminds me. I need to brew again before it gets hot. Oooooh. And their online catalog lists a tripel IPA. I am so stopping by this weekend.

St. Pat’s at NXNW
And no police in riot gear are expected. Brewer extraordinaire Ty Phelps has an Irish stout going at North By Northwest in anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day, which is March 17. He’ll also have a cask-conditioned version of the stout and 22-oz. bottles to go. (Or you can get a growler to go, which is my plan.)
Chef George Powell is planning on having Irish soda bread and Irish stew in addition to the usual menu and Jeremy Steding and the Irish Curse Band are playing outside from 6-10 p.m.
In case you’re not familiar with St. Patrick’s Day, it is a holiday in which people descended of immigrants from Europe’s drunkest, most maudlin and depressive — yet quaintly beautiful — land do four things: Drink lots and lots, get into vicious fistfights with family members, cry and wait for somebody to call the cops (known as “robbies” in the old country).
St. Patrick, it’s well known, is famed for casting the potatoes out of Ireland, hurling them in the direction of the hated Brits. What’s less well-known is that, like many of his fellow countrymen, St. Patrick later immigrated to the U.S. and opened a home brew shop in Austin. Like everything else that made the Austin of yesteryear so incredibly precious, it closed right before you got here.

Lots on tap at the Draught House
It’s a homey neighborhood place, not ginormous, but there’s always tons going on at the Draught House Pub & Brewery, and brewer-manager Josh Wilson sounds like he’s about to get even busier: For St. Patrick’s Day (a whole day for me? Aw, ya shouldn’t have) he’ll have his Shamrock Stout, which he describes as a “hopped up” stout with “some secret ingredients.” Cagey devil, that Josh.
Hmm. Can we guess? Lucky Charms? A couple of Shane MacGowan’s teeth?
But wait! There’s more! Wilson reports:
We don’t have anything special planned for it, I’m afraid. But for St. Patricks Day we will have a batch of our Shamrock Stout flowing. It is a hopped up stout made with roasted barley, oats and some secret ingredients.We should have Irish sausage made with Shamrock Stout too. We will also be doing a Guinness glass giveaway.
“As for other stuff…out most recent tappings have been Deschutes Jubel 2010, a version of Ice Jubel, brewed once every 10 years and Widmer Deadlift, an Imperial IPA showcasing Nelson Sauvin hops. (Wednesday) I will tap a cask of Allagash Curieux (very rare). We will serve this on the handpump, so it will be around for a little while. Friday, we will tap a cask of Southern Star Buried Hatchet Imperial Stout for Firkin Friday. I have casks form Deschutes, Brooklyn, Lagunitas and New Belgium coming in soon.
“Soon (in the next few weeks) I will tap Whiskey Century, a whiskey barrel aged version of Century Stout, my house brewed Imperial Stout.”

Beer tasting at Spec’s Arbor Walk today
Care to sample something like 20 different beers for free today? You would? Spec’s Arbor Walk, 10515 North MoPac Expressway, is the place to be starting at 5:30 p.m.
They’ll have New Belgium’s Ranger IPA and Mighty Arrow, Red Chair Pale and Hop Henge IPA from Deschutes, Brooklyn’s lager and Local 1, North Coast’s Old Raputin and Red Seal and, get this, Buried Hatchet Stout from Southern Star, which assistant manager Joe Rodriguez says “packs a wallop and it’s delicious.” Southern Star, out of Conroe, is about to have its second anniversary.
Did I mention the free part? It goes until 8 p.m. But get there much after 5:30 and the crowd might look like the picture above.

Garrison Bros. releases its prerelease bourbon today
We talked about this very exciting news here but today, Texas Independence Day, is the official release date. Liquor stores in Blanco and Gillespie counties have had waiting lists, but there’s a chance there’s a stray unclaimed bottle or two out there. Dial! Drive! And read the story to the end before you call or e-mail me; there’s a list of participating potable purveyors at the end of the piece.
UPDATE: Word as of Monday afternoon was Western Beverages and Judy’s Liquors, both in Fredericksburg, may be your best bet. BUT there’s a very good chance all bottles are gone or at least spoken for. Bill Tingler, co-owner of Hill Country Liquor in Blanco, said he started taking orders a couple of weeks back and has folks coming in from all over Texas — and as far away as Las Vegas and St. Louis, Mo. — to claim their bottles. The store had an allocation of 138 bottles and it’s totally sold out.
“This is our 15th year and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Tingler said. “It’s totally amazing.”

Mudbugs, beer and hockey at Uncle Billy’s
With the exception of the outcome of U.S. vs. Canada in Olympic hockey, Sunday’s Cajun brewers’ dinner at Uncle Billy’s was close to perfect. We started with Brian Peters’ pils — the guy loves to brew lagers and he’s good at it — with first-of-the-season crawfish. Small but tasty. The shrimp were good-sized, though.
Second was a hoppier-than-average amber that Peters describes as “an American version of an Extra Special Bitter” and fried catfish. Third as pale ale with subprisingly spicy gumbo (don’t let that brown roux fool you) and a fresh sourdough baguette. I could have eaten the bread and been happy.
By the time the game was going into overtime we’d moved on to Wood-Eye Rye IPA and crawfish etouffee, followed by a dessert of Bananas Foster in crepes and either Peters’ oatmeal stout or smoked porter. The smoked porter seemed to be the favored brew of the two.
Great beer and a fantastic dinner thanks to chef Charles Dowd.
But boooooo Canada.
Bonus points to this guy for getting his golden retriever to sit in a chair at one of the outside tables. Good dog! How about a beer?

Scene report: Beer Connoisseur party at Independence
The folks from Atlanta came to town to roll out the second issue of the way slick Beer Connoisseur magazine, which fancies itself as the Cigar Aficionado of malted beverages and largely succeeds in that ambition. The party was Saturday at Rob and Amy Cartwright’s Independence Brewing, with beer from Indy as well as North By Northwest.
The current issue of the magazine, a quarterly for now, features an interview with Brooklyn’s Garrett Oliver, a piece on the San Diego brewing scene reviews of 20-some beers and more.
“We’ve been amazed at the reception,” said managing editor Nick Kaye, who worked for years at The New York Times. “There really seems to be a niche for a more sophisticated approach.”
Indeed there is. There’s no shortage of beer publications out there, but too many of them try to make up in enthusiasm what they lack in editorial flair. The voices in the second issue of the magazine are authoratative, well-traveled, enthusiasts but not cheerleaders. And the tasting judges having actual judging bona fides. They’re not just schmoes.
While I was chatting with founder and publisher Lynn Davis, somebody from Independence came over and said to us, “You don’t have a beer. And you don’t have a beer.”
Davis said, “Actually, I’m in recovery.”
Ha, ha, you made a funny…Uh, no, seriously, he is. The top guy at a fancy new beer magazine is a three years’ recovering alcoholic. And good for him.
There are more Sam Malones in the beer business than you would think. They’ve had their time for boozing it up; now they’re all business.

Two more local breweries — one opening crazy soon
This is insane but in such a good way. New micros and craft breweries are springing up in these here parts like mushrooms after a week’s rain.
But there’s one that’s succeeded in keeping a low profile for quite awhile: Thirsty Planet Brewing, owned by Oklahoma transplants Brian and Tammy Smittle. They’ve done such a good job of keeping things quiet that they’re maybe three weeks away from brewing their first batches, with getting beer out the door in maybe six. Expect a draft-only operation for the first 60-90 days, with bottles to follow. The first beers to roll out with be Yellow Armadillo Wheat, Buckethead IPA and Thirsty Goat Amber.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking, that those don’t sound terribly adventurous — and adventurous is exactly what we need more of? I asked them about that. Brian notes that the IPA will have 75 International Bittering Units, enough to satisfy any hophead, his wife included. “I like IPAs that take the enamel off my teeth,” Tammy says. Brian also has intriguing ideas about brewing with chipotles and Hatch chiles.
Moreover, they’ll have a 25-gallon system to brew test batches, which they’ll offer to folks who stop by the tasting room, which is right in the front door. (The main system in the brewhouse is 30 barrels.) They’ve also got plans for a patio-biergarten, live music and, courtesy of a gas hookup, maybe even barbecues. They’ve built a first-rate facility from the ground up, pouring the slab on Brian’s 40th birthday last July 28. They’ve got two stories and 10,000 square feet on a little more than five acres in Southwest Austin right by the Austin Zoo.
Brian’s love of good beer goes back to his days of studying British politics in England. Classes were conducted in a 17th Century manor house with a pub in the basement. Continental, that. He started home brewing and, after graduating from a Missouri college in 1991 with a degree in business administration, took a year off to ski around Vail, Colo. While there he went to a beer festival and met a guy who brewed at a pub in Vail. The guy said, “I ski in the morning and brew beer at night.”
“Well, there you go,” Brian said he replied. “That sounds like a scam and I want in on it.”
From Vail he moved on to what’s now Coach’s in that world-renowned beer Mecca, Norman, Okla. It was in Oklahoma that he met Tammy on a blind date. One of the first gifts he gave her was a book by beer guru Michael Jackson. On their first date he talked about opening a brewery. One, two: Awwwww…
So now here they are. Tammy is working another job full time but this has been Brian’s calling since they came to down in 2008. And Tammy has another project going: The Smittles are expecting their first child, a son, in about three weeks — exactly the time Brian expects to start brewing.
“I’ll be adding the strike water when her water breaks,” Brian said. (To explain that very good joke, strike water is the initial water that goes into the grain in brewing.)
They raised in the neighborhood of $1 million in a private offering to family and friends to finance this little adventure. A good chunk of it their own, so yes, they’re serious.
This is good news, people. Smittle will be the brewer, and he has the brewing chops, the business acumen and the ability to drive a forklift. No reason on paper why the beer won’t be great and the business a hit.
Then there’s Barbed Wire Brewing Company, which is still in the site location and fundraising stage and plans to brew beers twist in the Jonestown area.
“There’s a lot of craft brew buzz around Austin right now and the maj are doing traditional beers. We’re going to focus on Tex-Mex beer,” said Shane Bordeau, one of the venture’s partners. “We’re going go for the taste and marketing side of some of the Mexican beers.” They’re planning on initially rolling out beers in the style of Corona, an amber (Tecate-ish, maybe?) and Negra Modelo. More news on that when they commit it.

Nugan Estate wine lunch
The rap on Australian wines used to be that they were kind of like AC/DC: blunt and undeniably effective, but not exactly nuanced or sophisticated. Check out the Australian selection at your supermarket and you’ll know what I mean: If you’ve had one you think you know what the rest of them are roughly like.
So when I had lunch Thursday with Phillip Goodman, Nugan Estate’s director of sales for North America and Asia, I thought I knew what I was getting into. Not so. We had Chardonnays that were balanced and complex, not oaked to within an inch of their precious lives, a Shiraz worthy of the name and a surprisingly approachable Cabernet.
Although it’s one of Australia’s top 20 wine exporters, Goodman said the company struggled for its first few years in the Texas market — where H-E-B is its biggest retailer — because they’re making wine that disarms.
“We’ve always been more on the elegant side,” Goodman said. “More balanced, subtle.”
I have to agree. And the two Chardonnays I sampled went dang good with that lobster grilled cheese at Trio.
Best of all these things are affordable — the suggested low end is under $15 — so it’s worth a try.
