This is the first half of our first order of cans. The rest should be here later this week.

**Traffic** · 05-09-2011 04:12 PM

Every 1000th can has a specially engraved message for Shaggy users on the bottom of the inside of the can. Start drinking.

I like the Wizard of Oz.

**tx 3 putt** · 05-09-2011 06:11 PM

well $#@!, you have me pretty excited about all this austinbeerworks

**Celery Man** · 05-09-2011 06:20 PM

Man if y'alls beer tastes as great as your branding looks, I can't wait.

Dogfish Head should steal away from you whoever is responsible for the logo/can/box/etc. design.

**HenryJames** · 05-09-2011 06:33 PM

And why is it exactly that I have not been given one of these?

Foreplay, my friend. Sweet, sweaty foreplay.

**utee94** · 05-09-2011 06:39 PM

Agree, the branding and trade dress look fantastic. Very attractive, clean, and modern.

Thank you!

I don't think our branding would fit in with Dogfish Head. We make awesome beer for awesome people, none of that off-centered mumbo jumbo.

Black Thunder has changed up a bit. Here's the new version:

They are being printed this week. Should be ready by Friday.

**tx 3 putt** · 05-09-2011 07:10 PM

those shirts look great

**Bottlecap** · 05-09-2011 08:48 PM

i want a REAL pearlsnap with the oildrop logo. wolfshirt x 100000000000.

**ghow** · 05-09-2011 10:27 PM

Can you put together a ABW fanboy package: 6er of all ABW beers, ABW pint glass, and a Tshirt.

**Celery Man** · 05-09-2011 11:07 PM

I've just peeked in this thread a couple of times, so I don't know what the full deal with ABW is - I take it y'all are a new microbrew in Austin that is on the precipice of going into full production, where one would be able to find your stuff in stores and on tap at places like the Draughthouse, but there have been a few events where people have been able to sample your brews?

Or are y'all already going full steam and I've just somehow missed it?

Either way, looks like y'all have your $#@! together and I'm looking forward to trying your stuff. Would also like one of those pint glasses, would totally love to see that on one of those free pint glass days at the Draughthouse.

btw I didn't really mean that your specific style of branding would suit Dogfish Head well, just that it seems to be very well done, while I find Dogfish Head's labels and branding to be very unappetizing and unappealing to the point that I've probably bought much less Dogfish Head than I would otherwise have simply because their labels look like barf. I mean, I know I should judge a beer by the beer, but god their bottles are gross looking.

**texassax** · 05-09-2011 11:55 PM

I want all of those cans. and those shirts. thank you.

We're making those for sure. But you need to know the secret message printed on the bottom of the can to get one.

Damn skippy. Don't forget about koozies, patches, and stickers.

I've been using my ABW koozie with some good beers lately; however, I'm really looking forward to putting an ABW can in it one day.

I would highly recommend going back and reading through the thread. I've said some pretty hilarious things.

The long and short of it is, our first batches of beer are fermenting away and we're on the doorstep of greatness.

I was actually just talking to Josh at the Draught House about doing a pint night. We just ordered a big run of glasses (regular pint glasses and special pilsner glasses). Unfortunately there's a 6-week delivery time. It will be worth the wait though - they are slammin'.

We appreciate all the compliments and we hope you enjoy the beer as much as the branding.

I love pilsner glasses

**Bottlecap** · 05-10-2011 06:09 PM

you better not leave us for some other whorish message board when you hit the big time ABW you bastard.

**Bottlecap** · 05-10-2011 06:15 PM

and i just realized that this thread has two times the amount of views than the In n Out thread in a shorter time span.

unfortunately, it looks like nothing will unseat the glory of the Franklin/Loko threads. But you know who else won a bronze metal? Emeka Okafor.

So do we. Doubleplusgood if you use your koozie with your pilsner glass.

Shaggy Aggie has been giving me the eye lately... Depends on how much I've had to drink and whether or not you answer my calls at 3am.

I love big stainless steel 15.5 gallon mugs.

**ghow** · 05-10-2011 07:10 PM

ABW, I think I told you on Facebook to get some of these made up.

There is always someone up at 3am on here.

**texassax** · 05-10-2011 08:24 PM

why don't I have a koozie?

Yeah, those things are badass. We might just have to...

They're especially awesome because the 5-can capacity forces you to slam a beer right away.

We won't be giving official tours for another month or two, but unofficial tours are always open to Shaggy Friends. Just PM me and we'll set something up.
