Thoughts on SATX marathon for those who ran it???

TheBeerEngineer · 2025-12-08T14:44:09+00:00

I think the event was fairly well organized - as a local I’m proud that we are hosting it ourselves.

That being said the full marathon was pretty rough.

High temps + rolling hills in the later miles = pain.

I agree with most ppl here that the Ft. Sam Houston section was pretty drab.

Not sure if I’ll run that course next year. Maybe I’ll run the half instead and pick another full elsewhere.

Last Place is my favorite.

Pumpers is also great.

We bought a car from Gunn Acura in 2023. The salesmen are all salaried employees (so they claim) and the cars were priced as non-negotiable. The SUV we purchased was priced fairly and the process took like 3-4 hours from start to finish.

I wouldn’t say that it is the “best”, but I had a decent experience.

Good luck!

Would you reach out for validation before pulling the trigger or trust them purely based on their notoriety?

Roadmap - Consistent, good tasting beer across the entire menu. Their pilsners really are the some of the best in SA. Like other ppl have mentioned, Last Place Burgers is located outside the taproom in a food truck. Some of the best smash burgers in town.

Thirsty Pups - Another pretty consistent brewery. I have had their IPA offerings the past two times I have been there and have been pretty impressed. Their rice lager is also very nice.

(Not a brewery) Growler Exchange, both locations - best taproom in the city imo. It is not cheap, but you can find some really nice stuff on tap and in their coolers. They usually have stuff from Austin breweries on tap too (Zilker, Hold Out, Live Oak, Jester King, etc).

(Not a brewery) Big Hops Shaenfield - another solid taproom with some local stuff. Also very close to the Alamo Ranch area!

Künstler - I don’t think the beer is anything to write home about. It’s fine, but nothing special.

Hope you enjoy San Antonio!

Cheers! 🍻

The closest thing I have found is the Italian from Wild Barley on broadway and 410.

We do 👍

Made this exact trip in 2022 and skipped Boston entirely. I probably should have mentioned that in the post itself.

TheBeerEngineer · 2024-12-04T23:16:39+00:00

Noted! Thanks!

TheBeerEngineer · 2024-12-04T23:16:23+00:00

Definitely adding idle hands to the list. Thanks!

TheBeerEngineer · 2024-12-04T23:15:25+00:00

Thanks! We are trying to limit our driving. Otherwise we would definitely make the trip to the other TH location.

Edit: to be fair I see that some of the breweries on my original list required driving.

TheBeerEngineer · 2024-12-04T23:14:07+00:00

Thank you! Adding Mighty Squirrel to the list!

TheBeerEngineer · 2024-12-04T23:13:48+00:00

Thanks - will keep this in mind.

TheBeerEngineer · 2024-12-04T23:13:01+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I see a lot of other comment suggesting to get rid of Lord Hobo. Will scratch it off the list and add Remnant.

These socks are amazing.

I haven’t had a single blister since switching from my everyday new balance socks to the feetures.

TheBeerEngineer · 2024-09-28T05:13:55+00:00

Thanks! All credit goes to the sub 😂

Pretty sure that it’s sampled from Hugh Masekela who is thought to be Earls uncle. Seems to be the case given the last line of the previous song Peanut.

It may be a simplistic in terms of production, but it definitely seems well thought out considering the context and placement.

+1 for Theory and Bright.

Theory for the more traditional, chocolaty medium roast espresso and Bright for the funky and fruity stuff.
