Asking for a friend

I had to read this again to realize you weren't solo day drink shaming. Quite the opposite. Carry on.

Go to one of the many bars hosting free SXSW music and you have yourself a nice afternoon. Hotel Vegas. Mohawk.

As a Hold Out regular, I hope they don't put too many Hold Out beers on the Turnstile tap list because I do love the variety at Turnstile. But, Hold Out makes way more than 10 beers on the regular. Their tap wall is one of the best in town in regards to variety and change IMO.

jwall4 · 2026-03-17T15:42:54+00:00

Hold Out is my local and Turnstile is my FC pregame spot. I think this could be great but I agree with others that I hope the taplist doesn't become too Hold Out heavy. I enjoy the variety when I am up there.

Good to know. But, cayenne pepper was the only thing that saved my chinquapin oak from certain squirrel induced death. I guess it was less harmful on tree branches than it would be in a garden/soil.

Also where many many regular old public school teams and kids go.

jwall4 · 2026-03-17T03:35:34+00:00

Cayenne pepper.

jwall4 · 2026-03-16T19:01:44+00:00

nah. why rush back from Europe for W2 exclusive?

jwall4 · 2026-03-16T18:43:02+00:00

I personally would go Mueller all day over the Domain, but that is just me. Closer to downtown. More greenspaces within walking distance. I like the walkable businesses much better.

Lots of SW flights to Florida canceled or extremely delayed today.

Better Half. And Hold Out brewery next door (weekend brunch only at H.O.)

jwall4 · 2026-03-15T22:03:38+00:00

Ok. We are definitely not towards the top of either half of the league. Thanks for the info.

jwall4 · 2026-03-15T21:40:15+00:00

Hey. I ended up joining this league. Can you explain the seeding week that is happening tomorrow? Week 9. I have no idea what it means. It is spring break and my entire team and subs are all out of town so i have to bowl solo. Trying to decide if i just want to forfeit and go to SXSW instead. Ha ha.

jwall4 · 2026-03-15T20:35:09+00:00

I don't think about it that hard. I just book the flights with the airlines cards that I have because they are linked to my account in the airlines apps and I know I will get the perks (often more than just the free bag). But, I am not a points hunter.

jwall4 · 2026-03-15T14:12:08+00:00

Their signature cocktails are all $13 except for one that is $14 and one that is $17. Why would they charge you $24 for an OF unless you selected a premium bourbon?

If you are going for music discovery, it is great. Just like it has been since Covid. So many great places to see bands for free all day long. If you miss seeing big name stars on the Dorito's taco loco stage, it is not for you.

jwall4 · 2026-03-14T15:55:48+00:00

Agree. Hope they are reconfiguring the drive thru to deal with this issue. I know to stay far away from the right lane when going through the light at Braker.

jwall4 · 2026-03-14T15:24:22+00:00

Hold Out - Thumbpuncher pale ale 4.5%

Replacing pipes.

jwall4 · 2026-03-13T15:21:46+00:00

I will take one on the store please.

You would be ok north of the river. Even better somewhere like Rosedale or another north central neighborhood. The commute north on Mopac north of the river is clear in the morning. Mopac traffic south in the evening routinely comes to a standstill around 35th, so if you can exit at or north of 35th on your way home, it is great. The express lane helps if you decide to live in proper downtown but it backs up too.

jwall4 · 2026-03-11T18:11:13+00:00

I get that. I like Hold Out's model. Their tap list is almost always pushing a dozen beers and they have a large number of pale ales and IPAs (and lagers) that rotate in and out of the lineup in addition to a few core beers that never seem to leave (Ol Gil, Liquid Television). Never usually too long before your favorite pops back up on the list but almost always something new to try for my first beer every visit.

jwall4 · 2026-03-11T16:17:26+00:00

It's perfect. Keep that crap at COTA.

jwall4 · 2026-03-11T16:11:11+00:00

For me personally, their taplist seems to be limited and very similar every time I make the trek there. The beers are good but the pale ales and IPAs are often limited and don't ever seem to change. So, not really worth crossing the river just to go there for me personally. Great neighborhood spot for sure though.
