Flying Saucer on the Lake

posted on July 28, 2009 in Lake Flying Saucer

We opened the Saucer at lake Ray Hubbard last night at 4 PM. It wasn’t a Grand Opening Party. We were all just trying hard to hit our deadline of July 27th – so we moved ladders and poured beer  simultaneously. We had some Knurds from other stores come by to say hello.

One thing is for sure – it feels damn good to drink a Green Flash IPA on draft and sitting on this patio. The space overlooks the lake and has a nice breeze coming off of the water. It even feels cool-ish when its over 100 degrees out

We opened up the patio bar last night too. We feature FIVE draught beers – Fireman #4 (a shout out to the local gang in Blanco), Breckenridge 471 IPA, Full Sail pale (nautical), Spaten Lager (weaning the mainstream herd) & Franziskaner Hefe. The bottle selection hits just about every style from Pilsner to Imperial Stout with Trappist ales and Canadian tripels in between.

For your friends that prefer a Gin and tonic, we brought on liquor. We figured that Frozen Margaritas might be a hit in the heat. We make a pretty mean Bloody Mary too.

Beer selection inside is about 220 strong with 83 tap handles and a Cask Engine on the way. For those DFH fans – Burton Baton is on right now. We are pouring Green Flash IPA, Schneider Aventinus and Sierra’s newest Anniversary release. Come by and say hello.

Cheers
