I can’t fault the mouthfeel since it’s an 8.4% saison, though. From start to finish, fruity, spicy yeast-driven flavors dominate the sip. Considering the ABV, this is a real...
The flavor of Saint Arnold Santo is perfect to pair with crawfish, BBQ, enchiladas, and just about anything good. It’s light enough to drink a few while packing a punch flavor and aroma wise. Each sip...
The medium body and perfect carbonation make Eureka Heights Palate Fatigue IPA a solid beer despite the time of year. The massive fruity, tropical aromas and flavors make...
The antithesis of the hazy IPA trend, Saint Arnold Citrodos pours a brilliantly, crystal clear golden-yellow that’s so bright it should be a gem. The...
The ABGB South Austin Speedball Stout's smooth, roasty, stouty goodness prepares me for the weather, and the medium body helps stick to my ribs. It's...
If there’s one thing Texas is known for beer-wise, it’s got to be light, crisp, Pilsners. Beer drinkers from El Paso to Port Arthur, from Houston to Amarillo, and everywhere in between could probably all agree...
Saint Arnold Weedwacker poured a bright golden-orange that’s slightly opaque. It was Saint Arnold’s only year round unfiltered beer. Two fingers of chalk white head that...
Galveston Bay Blue Berry Blonde instantly spewed sweet blueberry aroma. It was almost like the blueberry syrup at IHOP, but minus the syrupy maple. I...
The blood orange puree jumps forward on the nose and the tongue, with its bright citrus tempered by the hint of raspberry that comes with all blood oranges. Bright, citrusy notes are also present in the light hopping. ...
Let's play ball! Texas Leaguer is coming with the heater! Knuckle Bock checks all the boxes, in my opinion. Back Pew was the best bock brewed in Texas and while still really good, the bar has been raised. No disrespect to Shiner or any others out here brewing Bocks, but Texas Leaguer is in a league of their own....
...Bam! Pineapple! Bam! Grapefruit! If you’re not reading this in Emeril’s voice, why are you still here? The sip starts off tropical with......
Holler Dollar Pils Y'all is a great pils. They nailed the style, and the smooth dry finish keeps me coming back for another refreshing sip. Breweries gotta do what they gotta do to get through, know what I'm sayin'? Pils pay the bills. It's picturesque. Bright...
Fetching Lab just dropped some bombs on Houston today! 22 oz Bombers, actually. Blue Mischief is a deliciously light-bodied, summer treat that oughta do well all year-round. It starts off crisp and tangy, and the carbonation pokes...
SpindleTap 5 Percent Tint was fire in my book. I love hops. I love refreshing. And I love sessionable because I don't wanna ever be the jerk at the bar that's faded, talking all crazy to everybody he halfway knows. Nobody in town...
The irony here is that last year we had to work pretty hard to gather all the IPAs, and do it quickly all while being mindful of the bottled/canned dates. This time, we didn't have to worry about freshness nearly as much, but we managed to wrangle all the stouts together much quicker. We met up at Drink of Ages and had Jon partake in the...
Copperhead Black Venom Imperial Stout is jet-black and full of roasty, velvety-smooth chocolate notes and it's way too easy to drink for 10% ABV. There's a...
I havn't seen much of Blackwater Draw in Houston and I had never tried Contract Killer until a unexpected trip out of town thanks to Hurricane Harvey. Luckily enough for my family and I we took a weekend trip to Austin to get out of the path of Hurricane Harvey. We ended up staying out of town until Wednesday when it was finally clear enough to make the trip home. We cooked dinner for our friends who hosted us during this week long extended stay. while at...
Aceite Crudo RIS makes up for any absence of art. It pours blacker than the soul of (enter the name of your least favorite politician here.) No flashlight test is getting through this sucker - it's opaque black. As it pours, the...
There are plenty of examples to compare Saint Arnold Brewing 5 O’clock Pils with. If you have a buddy who loves Miller light have them try 5 O’Clock Pils. If they don’t love it have them try Back Pew Blue Testament. This style is a foot in the door for macro conversion to craft beer....
Texas Secession pours clearer than a Texas summer sky with a little bit of head that exits left stage and leaves no encore in the way of lace. It's golden amber like waves of grace. The flavor is...
