It's that time of year again.
https://divinecanines.org/barksforbeers/

We've finished every one for the past 10 or so years. Looks like we won't finish it this year with so much other stuff going on. But we'll be out there when possible.

If you can make it to 5 breweries it pays for itself. Best deal around and it supports a great cause.

How have I lived here for 7 years and never heard of this?! Thank you

We've made ten breweries so far, all the blues and half the reds. We started tracking beers on the Untapped app that our friends have been using for years and can see we're over thirty unique beers in those visits and we even tried axe throwing at Brewtorium, which was much funner than expected. This is the last weekend of barks for beers, it goes to the end of the month. I've had eleven free beers due to technical difficulties with an IPL at Fast Friends. Profit.

Think I'm 7-8 breweries in at the moment.

I'd avoid Austin Craft at all costs, quite possibly the worst beers I've ever had. Even a "free" beer is not worth it.

i don't go south very often. Usually the only time we hit breweries down there is if someone is flying in or out, and its usually Live Oak or Meanwhile. Is Austin Craft at the old Starbase location?

I didn't care for Austin Craft either, weird parking and location. We were the only two people there and that was the only place we left after two free beers. All they got from us was a tip. Our friends went there later and it was packed. App says we had a smooth sailor Kolsch and a heart of gold Pilsner. The only beers rated lower in this barks for beer event were Live Oak Gold and Fast Friends Craft Cartel IPL. I might change that IPL ranking. It was good , I'm just not a fan of that style.

The app is pretty cool. Our friends thought the Molly Malone and Fantasma were decent brews at Austin Craft, but I see they only rated one beer there also. For context, visits to Pinthouse rarely get less than three check-ins. Fast Friends has been the best barks venue. It's only got three big problems. Location.

Yes. You can also check the beer thread to see some of the other weird **** they are doing.
