The beer manager told me he won't know anything until Tuesday.
The beer guy at the Specs at Louetta and Steuber Airline told me yesterday that they recieved it from the distributor last week but had to send it back because they weren't set up in their computers to sell it and they couldn't keep what they couldn't sell. He said check back next week. |

I knew I didn't like that Spec's. |

That he even admitted that to you would be reason enough to not check back. |

The eagle has finally landed in Houston at Spec's on Smith.
You still have 33 minutes to ascertain the deliciousness this evening.

Available on tap at the Sugar Land Berryhill's. You'll have to wait for my review because I was already stuffed to the gills and two Dos Equis in before I noticed it. Just FYI if you're in the area.

Of course, this finally happens the weekend I have an early morning flight to Boston. |

I actually tried the Bohemian Black Lager recently. I'm not a die hard lager fan but it was a nice afternoon beer. Notice I said one.... I felt like I had eaten a multi-course meal after that single beer. But definitely enjoyable.

It may be the fact that I normally drink XX or Tecate. |

I haven't had any of the new batch, but I distinctly remember being surprised at how light '97 was. Especially for having so much flavour. |

Blink, and you missed it. They didn't make the same mistake with the '98: you can't go anywhere without tripping over that stuff! |

Success!!
I just found one six-pack at the little Spec's on Holcombe. Also snagged some Xingu, Ugly Pug, and Asahi Black--which may or may not be a schwarzbier depending on where you look--for comparison purposes.
This weekend might be kind of fun.

Good man. Report your findings while consuming. For science. |

A good Bohemian black lager is "light" in terms of its "drinkability" ... It is neither a heavy, sweet bock nor a creamy stout ... just a full-flavored version of a smooth lager. My new batch is waiting for me at home when I get back in the correct time-zone, but the original 97 was perfect in that regard. |
