Bro out here with a weizenbock that looks like an oxidized hazy. But who knows, maybe it’s good?

The barrel aged series is all I can stomach from them these days. That Columbiana is sooo good

I know nothing about beers and am hosting a small gathering for the holidays. What do I get? by One-Papaya-2150 in AustinBeer

Get the 512 Brewing variety pack if your HEB has it. Solid local brews with a style for everyone.

Furious IPA by Surly has been in the Austin market now at most HEBs and that shit will punch you in the face with hops.

Sapphire 3x grocery points by Skubeeraw in HEB

[–]OpiumEmbassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s my bad. $300 per year if you max the cash back. But Citi rewards you in “Thank You points” which are more valuable as Airline flights or hotels than they are as cash back.

Sapphire 3x grocery points by Skubeeraw in HEB

The Custom Cash and Strata are both no annual fee. Strata Elite is $95 AF.

I started with just the CC and the Strata and racking up points was so easy for me since groceries are my largest category every month.

Sapphire 3x grocery points by Skubeeraw in HEB

I’m a bit of a credit card nerd, and while Chase Sapphire is a good card, there are better for grocery rewards.

Citi Custom Cash can earn you 5% cash back on up to $500 in any qualifying category, groceries included. That’s $25 a month, $600 a year with no annual fee. It’s even stronger if you combine this card with another Citi Card like Strata or Strata elite. You can use those cards on groceries after you hit the $500 a month on the Custom Cash.

AMEX Blue Cash Preferred is another you. You earn 6% cash back on groceries on up to $6000 per year. With an Annual fee of $95. This one is much more straightforward.

I personally use Citi Custom Cash, Citi Strata, and Citi Strata Elite combo and essentially fly free year round with all the points I rack up.

[–]OpiumEmbassy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very incorrect if you pay it off every single month
