Houston, TX
|
This beer pours wiht great head which is maintained through out the session This is a fresh take on a west coast style IPA. Heavily hopped for a bouquet of citrus aroma and peachy finish. This is very hoppy in a citrus floweral way. If you like West Coast IPA then this is one to try. This beer won GOLD: Fredericksburg Beer Festival 2025. |

New Zealand Hoppy Pils |
Houston, TX | A New Zealand (NZ) Hoppy Pils is a modern, crisp lager that replaces traditional European noble hops with bold, fruit-forward New Zealand hop varieties. The style balances a soft, bready malt base with vibrant tropical, citrus, and white-wine aromas, finishing clean and refreshing. This is an easy drinking lager with a healthy dose of New Zealand hops. Strong tropical fruit flavors and citrus from Riwaka, Nectaron, and Motueka hops. While on style you can expect this to be a wee bit hopper than a traditional German Pilsner but less hoppy than an IPA. Think pilsner with more hops. One I enjoyed and would love to see it become a year round option. This beer part of Saint Arnold's small batch program and is only available at their Beer Garden. |

Shiner Raspberry Lemonade Shandy |
Shiner, TX | This Shandy pours great but the foam disipates quickly. Once you pour it you are hit with a raspberry smell. This smell continues on to through the taste. Brewed with real raspberries and lemonade, this bright, easy-drinking shandy delivers the perfect balance of sweet and tart. While I am not a Shandy fan I must admit that this is well done. Since I am not a Shandy fan I enlisted the input from the Brew Cheif AKA wife and my daughter. The Brew Cheif gave the shandy a 4.5 over all and she found it quite enjoyable. My daughter liked it and gave it a 3.5 but stated that she wanted more raspberry. I am not sure how Shiner could do that since the shandy already boast a great level of raspberry. With all three scores and input I think it is safe to say that this is a beer for none beer drinkers, shandy lovers and of course raspberry fans! This is one to try!! |

D.A.D. |
Houston, TX | This beer arrived with a nice head which did not really stay. The beer is listed as an IPA but I consider it more of a hazzy which the picture shows very well. Coming in at 3% it is a beer you could drink all day. For me it was a one and done. While technically brewed correctly the taste lines up more with a hazzy which I am not a big fan of. But if you like hazzy and low ABV than this is your beer. Drinkable All Day. A hoppy ale with Amarillo, Mosaic, and Krush hops. This beer part of Saint Arnold's small batch program and is only available at their Beer Garden. |

Indio |
Monterrey, Mexico | This beer pours with great head and is maintained though out the session . Indio is a dark Vienna lager-style beer offering a fusion of golden malt and toasted caramel notes, giving it subtle hints of sweetness and less bitterness. I have had this beer before and remember it being better. Perhaps it the can I had was colder or may be the addition of a lime might have improved the experience. I found mine to be as bit to caramelly. This could have been do to it being old or just the temp is was served at. Over all it is a decent beer and worth the try.
( Indio is owned by Heineken)
