Originally posted by LSC Fan View PostFunny you mention Lone Star. I was in Austin a few weeks ago and went to some of the downtown water holes. You know Austin and and number of other Texas locales are into craft beer scene in a big way. The places we went to were pretty diverse as far as the age of people who were partaking of adult beverages and I saw quite a few people walking around with cans of Lone Star. I mean some of these places had tap after tap of beer choices from the local and regional craft breweries as well as the current national beer of Texas, Shiner along with numerous Mexican beer choices and people were drinking Lone Star. Back in my day, Lone Star was considered a cheap way to accomplish the "goal" much like a case of Milwaukee's Best or Schaefers. Did I miss where Lone Star became hip and fashionable again?Last edited by BuffaloChip; 08-14-2018, 08:38 AM.

Re: UT Tyler Officially joins the LSC
Originally posted by BuffaloChip View PostYep. You missed it. Lone Star's an okay beer, light with some flavor. and a bit of a salty finish good for a hot day. I've been reading lately where craft brews are suffering somewhat. There's a place in Canyon that serves $2 cans of Hamms on their Wed happy hour.

Originally posted by Michael Whitfield View PostAn interesting coincidence. I was in Pueblo a couple of months ago with a friend & we stopped at a tavern downtown. What was on their beer selection - $2 cans of Hamms beer. It was OK for a thirst quencher, but I still prefer our Craft Beers here in CO which are tops. Can't believe that craft beers are not popular down in the Lone Star state or at least in the Panhandle.

Maybe it was free Lone Star Beer weekend in Austin a few weeks ago and I missed the secret code or password to get mine.:laugh:

The local liquor store I frequent in Amarillo, probably carries 100 craft beers in bottle and cans. I can take you to a couple dozen places in Amarillo/Canyon and find anywhere from 10 to 100 craft brews on tap. The Imperial Taproom in Canyon was recently singled out as the top craft emporium in the State of Texas. I believe it was Beer Advocate that was picking out the best craft beer place in each of the 50 states.Last edited by BuffaloChip; 08-14-2018, 01:14 PM.

Originally posted by BuffaloChip View PostOn our last trip to Austin, five weeks ago, our daughter and son-in-law took us to a new place called Brewtorium. Those guys know what the hell they are doing when it comes to brewing beer. I had the best Mexican lager I've ever had. Also a sublime Hefeweizen. It's just off of N Lamar and Koenig in an old repurposed warehouse. Highly recommended.

I was home from WT that summer, after my freshman year, recuperating from (another) knee surgery. I'd go to local bars and have an occasional Hamms. I preferred another local brew call Grain Belt.
