Favorite Texas Beer?

[Bputacoma]

Real ale or 512 for me.

My buddy's brewery out in Seven Points, Tx.
Love this beer.

Tried Shiner Premium this weekend, not a bad beer. I'm not a Bock fan, so I've never liked Shiner Bock. When in the sun for long periods like hanging out by the pool, I also like the Ruby Red from Shiner.

I'm surprised Ziegen isn't listed.

I've never heard of some of these. Where are they able to be found? Don't recall ever seeing any at Goody Goody, Central Market or Spec's.

The people who voted Shiner, btw, are fuckin' crazy.

Shiner is just easy when I don't feel like thinking about what I might be in the mood for two weeks down the line. You're not going to see me trying to convince anyone it's the greatest beer in the world or anything. I really like the Rahr Texas Red, and the Ugly Pug is pretty good too. I get it at Kroger.

Live Oak isn't bottled, just on tap at some places. It's brewed here in Austin so a lot of non-chain restaurants/bars carry it.

Agreed.

I've seen many of these at specs. Lonestar in Carrollton used to have a great selection of local brews, I'm sure you can find a beer store in your area owned by someone into local craft brews.

And shiner bock is good beer. It's not fancy and it's nothing special, but it's the most widely available and likable "pilsner" alternative.

[SlowLX]

Agreed.

Eh... It's tasty but there's too many microbrews to list much less something from Busch.

PS anyone that hasn't had Martinhouse yet should definitely give it a try. Their imperial texan is fucking good.

I don't disagree with, but I've got a friend (from TX) stuck in CA and he seeks out Ziegen when in TX because it isn't available in Cali, Shiner is.

39k post.

I still like the good ole Lone Star, and the seasonal Shiners.

Had one of these recently (maybe not so much local anymore)....was pretty good.
