So grab your favorite hometown brew and see which Texas team comes out on top!
Dallas
Deep Ellum Dallas Blonde
This is a delicately balanced and bright golden ale with citrusy and floral American hops. With Pale, Vienna and Wheat malts, it is a crisp and refreshing ale that just goes down easy.
Lakewood Hop Trapp
A Belgian-style IPA, this beer is decidedly malty and complex. It has a bitter backbone with floral hop that are followed with notes of citrus and yeast.
Houston
Saint Arnold Lawnmower
A true German-style Kölsch, this beer is crisp and refreshing. It has a sweet malty body and a citrusy hop character. It has a clean flavor and is an easy choice for a hot Texas day.
Karbach Rodeo Clown Double IPA
We recommend you take this double IPA slowly. This is a complex brew with flavors of sweet malts and earthy hops. A long, lingering dry finish rounds out this tasting experience.
San Antonio
Alamo Golden Ale
This is an American blonde-style ale with bready scents and grassy, earthy hops. The lightly peppery hops add a nice edge to the soft beer for a balanced flavor. A firm bitterness completes this refreshing sip.
Ranger Creek Mesquite Smoked Porter
This porter is brewed with a Texas twist, using malt smoked in-house over Texas mesquite. It is a dark mahogany porter with a velvety mouthfeel and subtle hop spice – a well-balanced choice for any Texas day.
