Saint Arnold Brewery’s Amber Ale is a crisp refreshing beer.  It is a full-flavored ale with a pleasant caramel character that is derived from brewing with a specialty Caravienne malt.  The rich body is evident when you pour the beer and it forms a nice medium head in the mug.  A complex aroma of hops

The Beers of Texas Part 6 – Shoofly Coconut Lime Ale

September 22, 2017September 22, 2017 Charles Prevatte

This is a seriously funky beer. If Jimmy Buffet was not making Land Shark Larger, he would be brewing this. This is a really tropically flavored beer. Shoofly Coconut Lime Ale is a refreshing golden ale blended with natural flavors of coconut and lime.  Floral notes complement the mellow coconut and understated lime flavors. The

Beers of Texas Part 3

November 18, 2015June 2, 2017 Charles Prevatte

The Southern Star Brewing Company is not just any old brewery. For one thing, they are not some huge mid‑western beer empire out of Milwaukee, or the like. The Conroe brewers are Astros fans. They got started in 2007—four Texas families and six generations strong. Like many local brewers, Southern Star started out to make
