Craft beer and BBQ go together like wine and cheese, gin and tonic, or chips and salsa. And summer is the perfect time for both! Before you throw your next backyard bash, stop by Spec’s and choose from Texas’ largest selection of craft beers, including these tasty brews that will go perfectly with whatever BBQ is on the menu.
Deschutes Black Butte Porter
This beer is balanced to the point of perfection. The dark chocolate, coffee and roasted malt flavors are complimented by hints of floral and citrus that make it ideal for a summer cookout. Fire up the grill and enjoy with delicious ribs or a tender steak.
Shiner Wild Hare
After more than a century, Spoetzl Brewery got a wild hair to craft its first ale. Light and easygoing with generous flavors of citrus, pine and caramel, it pairs nicely with a juicy hamburger and is refreshing enough to sip on its own.
Saison Dupont
Saisons were originally brewed before refrigeration for farm workers to enjoy during warm weather. Traditionally dry, crisp and complex, Saison Dupont is the standard for what all Saisons should be. Drink it with grilled chicken or pork to balance out the bold flavors!
Oskar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils
Great beer, tasty food. Oskar Blues has both. What started as a pub & grill is now one of the most innovative and popular craft breweries in the country. Mama’s Little Yella Pils is just one of the beers they offer, and its refreshing, clean taste makes it a summer favorite. Try it with spicy, flavorful BBQ like buffalo wings or brisket.
Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber Lager
This isn’t your ordinary beer. With characteristics of both an ale and lager, Old Scratch combines the best of both worlds to deliver a unique, malty and mellow beer. It should make an appearance at every BBQ this summer, especially when sausage is on the menu.
