No, it's not brewed in Austin

Because if it was, it would be named "Lamar Blvd." instead of "Lamar St." But it's a most enjoyable hoppy little pale ale that Jud brought over today while we watched the Longhorns massacre North Texas. The beer was far more interesting than the game. It's brewed by Goose Island Beer in Chicago. John Bruzan, maybe you're familiar with it? Jud picked it up at Whole Foods here in Austin. Or as we like to call it, Whole Paycheck. And — fittingly for the place of purchase — it's organic! As regular readers know, I'm a strong advocate of protecting the environment while inebriated.
