I actually thought it was good.
What many dont understand is lagers go with certain meals.
Smokehaus would def be a beer while grilling or bar b qing :P

I like a hoppy IPA when grilling, and a dark, roasty beer to go with my grilled meats myself.

shiner black,real ale ...or mine

i have been brewing 7 years, favorite is big [censored] texas brown 7%...from defalcos

Well Totally Agreed With You jae011..

As ziegenbock is Also One of My Favorite ...

Apart of That When I Had Trip I Also Had Beer Called God-Father n Believe Me It's Best Drink Which I Ever Had ...

So Cheers With 2 Ice Cubes !!

Stopped in Mellow Mushroom the other night and tried a pitcher of Franconia Lager made by Franconia Brewing Company in McKinney. Very tasty brew - I would definitely order it again if I see it on tap when I'm out.

Yeah, Franconia's a good brewery, and pretty close to home, too!

a open one

Real Ale's seasonal offering, The Devil's Backbone.

Ranger Creek OPA (Oatmeal Pale Ale) by new kid on the block Ranger Creek Brewing is also mighty fine.

I too would like to see Shiner branch out even further in their offerings. I'd REALLY like to see their interpretation of an IPA or, even better, an Imperial IPA.

Agreed about Shiner making a DIPA. That'd be great. Though...I'm not sure shiner believes in "Hops" as lightly as they use them, lol.

Devils Backbone is great, have you tried the Oak Aged version? I want to say they call it the Devil's Share. They also do an oak aged version of their Real Heavy, which I think they called Highlander, lol. Also delicious.

I'd love to see Real Ale do an Imperial Stout.

As for Ranger Creek, I tried their La Bestia at the Spring Beer Fest at the Flying Saucer on the lake, and it was pretty delicious! Rather unusual for the style, but very good.

I'd love to see more of their products make it to DFW.

Have you tried much Jester King? They're my favorite Texas brewery right now.

I like alot of Rahr & Sons. St Arnies has some really good stuff. REALLY wanna try Jester King now. There is also a new brewery in the VERY early stages opening out of the Rocksprings area. They re called Stonesthrow (one word). Tried their DIPA and Imperial Stout. Good stuff. Seems promising. They got a long road ahead before opening though.


Is Steel Reserve still out of Ft. Worth?...Lol.

You wouldn't be disappointed by Jester King's beers. Their Black Metal Imperial Stout and Wytchmaker Rye IPA are both top notch.

shiner bock

Acutally tried it for the first time this past weekend. Do not remember which one, but had a red label. I enjoyed it. Won't replace my standard shiner, but will definitely drink it again when in the mood for a switch.

i think the red one is buffalo butt. its pretty good.Had some St.Arnolds wheat. loved it.

Could be Buffalo Butt, could also be Texas Red.

The Saint Arnold's beer I'm drinking the most lately is Weedwhacker. It's their new summer wheat beer, and it's delicious. Essentially a version of their Fancy Lawnmower but brewed with a hefeweizen yeast.
