free and lone star light.

St Arnold Christmas. Makes me wish it was Christmas already. Lol.

Possibly the best beer brewed in Texas these days.

Jester King's Black Metal Imperial Stout. Owns your face.

Looks like motor oil

Yup! Looks like what it is, delicious 10.4% Imperial Stout deliciousness.

where do you get the Jester King's

Right now, the easiest place to find it is usually on tap at good beer bars, quite a few in the DFW area have recently been pouring it. The Flying Saucers, The Gingerman, Lazy Bones in Grapevine, Holy Grail in Plano, Meddlesome moth in Dallas, etc. Don't know which still have it, but all of those had it previously.

You'll be able to find it soon throughout fine Liquor Stores across the state of Texas, especially in the Big Cities. DFW, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, etc. You should also be able to find it at places that sell fine beers like Central Market, Whole Foods, etc.

The first batch of the bottled version is likely already sold out, though. Thanks in large part to the TABC dragging their feet as usual. Jester King, the brewery, had Black Metal, the name of that particular beer, all bottled and ready to go. But they're a new brewery, and the TABC hadn't yet "approved" that beer and it's label for sale in Texas. But Jester King had beer sitting on shelves and production costs to recoup, so when they had offers for purchase and sale in other states, they had to give in and send most of it out of Texas. By the time the TABC had approved it, they had very little left for their home state.

But don't worry, Jester King is getting ready to ship a MUCH larger batch brewed just for the state of Texas to make up for it, and so in a few weeks you should be able to pick it up just about anywhere that sells fine beers.

They're from the Austin area, and I think there may be still be a few bottles on shelves in that area. Once they ship out the next batch, though, there should be plenty for everyone.

I only got mine by sheer luck, went into a beer store I like, and they had just so happened to have gotten in a single case of it, that day. And by the end of the day, that case was gone.

Anyway, here's the website for the brewery. They're quickly becoming my favorite Texas brewery.

St Arnolds and Shiner.

Lone Star Light

Doesn't count anymore lol. It's brewed by Pabst, in Illinois, so its no longer a Texas beer.

Shiner for sure......try Holiday Cheer next Christmas, um, um, good!

shiner

Shiner 101

I thought it didn't count because it wasn't beer.

+2 Awesome brew, just wish I could find it by the case.
