Saint Arnold Brewing Co(I'm an employee) is in both markets, as is Real Ale products on a bit smaller scale(both are growing!!) Central Market or Whole Foods in both SA & Austin will carry both. Saint Arnold does an Amber Ale, IPA, Brown ALe,Kristall Weizen, & Oktoberfest(seasonal), along wiht a light Kolsch calle dFancy Lawnmower, and Real Ale has a Pale, Pale Rye,& Brown. I think you'll like them! San Antonio has a great brewpub called Blue Star Brewing, and the San ANtonio Homebrew has 6+taps of good beer on at all times. Frank M www.saintarnold.com |

The best beer selections in Texas are at Whole Foods and Central Market. If you've got a Central Market around then relax, as you will find an *excellent* selection - around 600 different kinds if memory serves. _Randal |

That's excellent, thank you very much. I'm retiring to the Seguin area, so
even if it was necessary to run to Houston once a month or so it wouldn't be a major hardship. Prices aren't too unreasonable, either, even by CA standards; about the same for Anchor products, a little higher for Sierra and some of the ciders and the imported beers. -- jwp "Steve Moore" > wrote in message ... > The Low-Carb Bartender wrote: > > Are there any decent > > > >>beers that are readily available in that area?

Austin should do, and (IIRC; I'm merely a Texan-in-law[1]) is closer. Plus I like Austin better. ;-) >Prices aren't too unreasonable, either, even by CA standards; Yeah, I've noticed beer prices in Texas are less than here in Illinois, and prices aren't exceptionally high here.

The Foam Rangers did a pub crawl to San Antonio recently. The Blue Star Brewpub and the Dodging Duck Brewpub in Boerne, which isn't too far away, are both worth checking out. They also have a Flying Saucer, part of the chain of 10 multitap bars throughout the South. You might have visited the original in Fort Worth. There's also a homebrew shop/bar with several good beers on tap, including some late availability Bigfoot and the aforementioned HEB Central Market for take-home beer. Prost, Steve |
