September 25, 2003Recession Thanksgiving Tip: Drink Beer Instead of Wine
Airline travel is down, grocery stores are giving away free turkeys to get customers in the door, and everybody is looking for ways to economize this Thanksgiving. But before you decide to save money by buying a jug of Riunite instead of an expensive wine, consider serving your guests American craft beers with dinner this year. Most discerning food lovers are much happier drinking good beer than cheap wine anyway. And there are more great American beers to choose from the ever before. J
November 25, 2008What to Get a Texas Beer Lover for Christmas?
The Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner celebrates its 100th birthday next year and while we'll have to wait until January for the anniversary beer to be released, a new book on the history of the brewery has already hit the bookstores--just in time for Christmas. The hefty coffee table book (beer table book?) is packed with archival photos, old Shiner beer advertising, and tales of Kosmos Spoetzl.
December 2, 2008Congratulations: It's a Dopplebock!
While it hasn't actually been announced yet, beer geeks report that Shiner 100, the beer that will mark Shiner's 100th anniversary, will be a dopplebock. The robust German-style beer will be labled Shiner Commemorator. Doppelbocks are traditionally darker and stronger than standard bocks. Shiner Commemorator will be 6.7% alcohol. It's an old German brewing tradition to give a starkbier, or doppelbock a name that ends in -ator. Paulaner Salvator was the original doppelbock, it was brewed by monk

March 19, 1998Aloha: The Beer I Had For Breakfast
Kona Brewing Company's Pipeline Porter is "Made with 100% Hawaiian Kona Coffee" according to the label. It's a limited release winter beer and it goes down very smooth. There's none of the saccharine sweetness or ponderous malt you find in many stouts and porters. The taste is rich and creamy with lots of coffee flavor, yet the finish is dry. I highly recommend this as a breakfast beer with a loco moco. Sampling the local microbrewery beers is one of the joys of traveling. And the Big Island of

December 29, 1994Texas Traveler: Eating in the Alamo City
photos by Robb Walsh Chef Scott Cohen was trying out some new sandwiches for the summer menu when I stopped by San Antonio's hottest new restaurant, Brasserie Pavil on Loop 1604 at Huebner. When I first walked in the door and took in the high ceilings and dark wood, I was immediately reminded of the spectacular Brasserie Georges in Lyons, a restaurant that first opened in 1836. Brasserie means brewery in French and the oldest examples of the genre, like Brasserie Georges, brew their own beer.

Photos by Robb WalshJames DeWolf and rabbit sausageThe Hill Country town of Frederickburg is the capital of the Texas German Belt. You can pretty much tour the whole town by driving up and down Main Street. The coolest restaurant in town is Rebecca's Table next door to the Rather Sweet Bakery and Cafe. Both businesses are owned by the famous baker and chef Rebecca Rather. The last time I stopped by her assistant chef, James DeWolf, was making rabbit sausage. The creamy meat filling made the fat

While the small town itself was formally established in 1875, Czech and German settlers had already made their homes there for several decades prior and had brought with them the culinary heritage of their homelands in central and eastern Europe. Kolaches, sausages, goulash and schnitzel -- all the

But now there's a least one: The Southern Star Brewing Company. Southern Star celebrated their one-year anniversary this spring with the release of their second canned beer, Bombshell Blonde.

June 29, 2009My Top 5 Summer Beers
In the winter, a cold beer is a nice thing to drink with a sandwich. In the Texas summer, a cold beer is a necessity. It is a cure for the malaise brought on by too many days without a fucking break from this heat -- the short term solution to global warming. And here are my five top beers of the summer: Photos by Robb Walsh5. Southern Star Bombshell Blonde Bombshell Blonde is an American blond ale that comes in a can. The new brewery is in nearby Conroe.

July 30, 2009Texas Blind Salamander Blues
Photo by Robb WalshThe Texas blind salamander lives in a dark cave in San Marcos and doesn't see very well, hence the blues-guitarist moniker. It's also an endangered species. Blind Salamander Pale Ale from Rahr Brewery in Fort Worth is the first of a new series called "Rare Breed" beers. Each will be dedicated to a different Texas endangered species. When you buy the beer, Rahr makes a donation to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation to help with the recovery of the critter. Drinking

"I don't really work here anymore," says John Stanley at Hans' Bier Haus as he pours me a beer. "I'm hopefully just picking up tonight. This is only the second time I've set foot in here in about a month, as a bartender, at least. I worked here about a year and a half, but I'm just in a different place in my life." Stanley has gone from a life behind the bar to using his music degree--he has a master's from Rice--to give private lessons at several area schools. "I went to Rice, I play bas
