Prairie Dog Pilsner
(Czech Style Pilsner)

Unlike the American-style "pilsner" beers brewed by the beer giants, prarie dog pilsner is brewed to the traditional Czech-style. We use only imported Czech Saaz hops and an authentic Bohemian lager yeast to create this beer. The spicy character of the noble saaz hops is assertive giving this beer a very clean and dry finish. It's bitterness is in the range of 30 IBU's but is well balanced by the malt which is imported exclusively by St. Patricks's of Texas.

Ben Thompson Brown Ale
(English Style Brown Ale)

A strong malt character dominates this English-style brown ale. Brewed with two-row pale malt, English crystal malt, English hops, and English ale yeast, Ben Thompson Brown Ale is a smooth drinkable beer with very little bitterness.

Slapshot Stout

Named for the Austin Ice Bats, this is a traditional dry stout using two-row Pale, Black Patent, and Black Barley malts. This dark rich ale will be available periodically throughout the hockey season.

Stout by Stoutwest

Stouts evovled from porters and their similarities may be striking in many aspects. What distinguishes a stout from a porter however is its heavier body and often a more roasted malt character.

This is certainly the case with Stout by Stoutwest. Compare it to O. Henry's Porter. You should notice a heavier mouthfeel and a taste more pronouced "coffee-like" roasted flavor in the stout. This is due to the use of specialty malts in the grain bills of each beer.

Whereas the porter consistes of pale, crystal, and chocolate malts, Stout by Stoutwest is made with pale and crystal malts as well as roasted barley, black barley, and black malt. A small amount of flaked barley is also added to enhance its creamy mouthfeel. It is fermented with English ale yeast to round out its complex falvor profile. This ale is a big as its namesake.
