Texas Beer

Islla St Brewing – The Pandalorian

Today Arfred is serving Islla St – The Pandalorian, a 5.5% pan dulce sour with coconut, strawberry, vanilla and sponge cake. Modeled after a NiƱo Envuelto (Mexican jelly roll), this beer is outstanding. Let’s be honest, I would have bought…

3 Nations Brewing – Sucker Punch

Today Arfred is serving Three Nations – Sucker Punch, a 4.5% watermelon sour. Pucker up, this little hell-raiser was made with real sour straws! Have y’all seen Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch movie? Did you hate it? Yeah, so I still…

903 Brewers – Pineapple Magic

Today Arfred is serving 903 – Pineapple Magic, a 6.2% slushy sour with pineapple, vanilla, marshmallow and lactose. This fluffy batch of joy made my day. I spent my honeymoon in Disneyworld – I love everything about that place. Even…

Islla Street Brewing – Concha La S’more

Today Arfred is serving Islla St – Concha La S’more, a 11% stout brewed with conchas and finished with marshmallow, dark chocolate and graham crackers. Skip the graham crackers, all of my s’mores will now be sandwiched between conchas. Next…

Islla Street Brewing – Breaddie Mercury

Today Arfred is serving Islla St Brewing – Breaddie Mercury, a 5.5% sour with banana puree, dark chocolate, banana bread and walnut. It actually did remind me of my mom’s banana nut bread. But that can art – I really…
