Lone Star Beer is the 'National beer of Texas'.

Lone Star beer review
Submitted by Kate McKeon

Kate McKeon, our Texas Beer Delegate.Okay, so truthfully Lone Star is an unremarkable, flavorless "American"-style beer.

That doesn't stop the marketing genius at Pabst Brewing (relatively new owners of Lone Star) from proclaiming Lone Star Beer to be the National Beer of Texas.

So why do we drink it? Pure Economics my friend, pure economics. At the Dixie Chicken bar, we (honkys like me) sell more beer per square inch than anywhere else in the world.

Yes, true. How? CHEAP BEER.

While I was in college, 1994-1998, Pearl Beer was the "cheap" beer of the day... until one fateful day in November.

Lone Star Beer is known as the National Beer of Texas.It was the Thursday night before the Texas A&M versus Nebraska football game.

It would be victory for the Aggies on the field, but pure agony for the Aggies off the field.

That was the night Pearl Beer silently crept from $0.85 for a longneck (yes, true!) to $1.15 for a longneck. ACK!

However, some relief was available.

Lone Star was still "value-priced" at $0.95 for a longneck. And that, my friend, is why we Texans drink Lone Star. It's cheap.

Lone Star beer won't buy you into the right crowd. Hell, it won't even buy you into the wrong crowd.

Lone Star Beer: proudly killing armadillos since 1940.But it will fill your belly without setting you back too far.

Interested in current beer prices at the Dixie Chicken?

You can get a 60oz pitcher of premium beer for $5. By premium I'm referring to Ziegen Bock, Shiner Bock and your better non-import beers.
