Southern Star Pine Belt Pale Ale
Brewed Conroe, TX bought at Spec's Liquor, Houston TX and drunk at home in Katy, TX while doing the laundry.
Patri and I visited this small craft brewery on the outskirts of Conroe, TX a few months ago and enjoyed the enthusiasm and committment of the staff. We have looked for their beer at the supermarkets we frequent but have only been able to find the beer at the Specs liquor store on Smith Street (undoubtedly the best wine and liquor store in Texas and possibly in the USA)
Southern Star do not produce any beer in bottles. They believe bottles let in light that affects the quality of beer and this may explain the message on the can "Clarity is overrated" or that may have something to do with the the beer itself!
The can says "this handcrafted American Pale Ale is brewed in small batches using high quality American two row, [malted barley] choice British crystal malts, select hops and deep-well ground water from the Evangeline aquifer. Non-filtered, never pasteurized this ale is packaged directly into cans to ensure maximum freshness for your enjoyment. This full flavored amber ale is sure to satisfy.
Not for the faint of heart, this pale ale is cloudy, full bodied and bitter, just like a good pale ale should be.
