Hi Scott, Karl, Richard, Dave, all other DSC brass. I am starting a petition for the DSC convention to serve the national beer of Texas... ...Lone Star Beer!  (photo borrowed from Geedubya)What says hunting and Texas better than a camo can of Lone Star Beer!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Not being much of a beer drinker, I wasn't aware of which beers were offered by our beverage provider, I'll find out if they either currently have it on their slate or if they can add it. Don't see why they can't add...I don't think it spoils quickly. Are you referring to on the floor or at the banquets? Either way, I bet it can happen. Karl Evans | |||

We have had and will have Lone Star at the exhibitor welcome banquet at Gilley's on Wednesday night of convention week. Anyone can get a ticket and attend - it is not restricted to exhibitors. Hopefully Karl can get it added at the Omni and/or convention center. Scott Tobermann, DVM Past President, Dallas Safari Club | |||

Living in NW New Mexico, Lone Star isn't available locally. My wife and I always look forward to a few cool ones when we are in Texas. At DSC I would have thought there would not be a question if Lone Star would be available or not. I'll be looking for it when we get there. | |||

Lane, got it handled, Lone Star will be available at the convention center, still working on the evening banquets. Amazing what one can do with an iPad, stuck in a cabin in British Columbia watching rain and fog instead of chasing a mountain goat. Karl Evans | |||

Back in the 1970s I took a brewery tour at Lone Star while in Texas. Above the bar was a great large Cape Buffalo mounted. The impression made on me was one of the triggers that made me want to hunt Africaand Cape Buffalo in particular. I have now enjoyed 7 trips to Africa. There was also a great exhibit of other trophies, fish and firearms there. The owners know how to live and where to hunt and fish. | |||

The Buckhorn Hall of Horns, they also had the Hall of Fish and Hall of Feathers. Plus a great swimming pool and outdoor German Beer Garden. Its a GD shame that it's all closed down and the production move to Miller in Ft Worth. The Hall of Horns is now house in the Buckhorn Saloon in Downtown San Antonio, but not all the mounts made the trip.
If they want to send some swag just for AR members, I am in on that give-a-way. | |||

There are two kinds of beer in the world - Free and Lone Star. Free is best if you can’t get Lone Star... | |||

Lane: as a fellow DVM and with all due respect, Lone Star is no longer strictly a "Texas" beer. My wife was Harry Jersig's (the owner of Lone Star Brewery in San Antonio) secretary before we got married. He had quite a collection of taxidermy, and was notorious for having a "Lone Star Sandwich" for breakfast, lunch, and dinner  . My understanding is that Olympia bought them many years ago and the beer is now brewed somewhere else-I know that the original Lone Star Brewery in San Antonio is no longer making any beer. I do agree that the camo cans are cool."Never, ever, book a hunt with Jeri Booth or Detail Company Adventures" | |||

Ledvm, Hah! That brings back old college memories. I grew up in the Panhandle where we could get Coors (one classmate was son of the distributor) and that is what I learned to drink.When I got to UT Austin, there was no Coors to be had and money was tight, so for a quarter a bottle (25 cents), I learned to drink Lone Star. I broke that bad habit as soon as I could afford better beer and after sampling beers in several countries, Shiner Bock is my Texas favorite. However, high blood sugar has reduced my beer drinking to only a few per year and left me drinking mostly Irish Whiskey.

Thanks for setting me straight. Although as a native South Texan that is getting pretty far North for me "Never, ever, book a hunt with Jeri Booth or Detail Company Adventures" | |||

Thanks, Jon. Got to hunt for about 5 hours today, saw only one billy and it would require a helicopter to get to. Only one more day of hunting and will be hunting fast. Karl Evans | |||

I have had some beer connoisseurs from around the world try today’s Lone Star and the reviews are pretty favorable. It is not the same old Lone Star. It and Castles are my favorite end of the day beers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

I have lived in South Texas and the Panhandle. Texans are pretty Texan throughout. Whether I am eating drum and shrimp at the Kings Inn on the edge of Baffin Bay, BBQ at Deiter Brothers in Lindsey, Mexican food at Los Norteños in Bryan, or home-fed porterhouse house steaks grilled on mesquite coals on the Easter Ranch somewhere south of Wichita Falls...I always feel at home in Texas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

I live in Texas and my primary business is in OK. Cross the Red everyday. Only bad thing about Thackerville, OK is that you can’t buy Lone Star beer there.

Lane, surely you jest. I grew up in Ft. Worth and, of course, it was Pearl Beer, the best in Texas. In bottles of course. Only slugs drink out of a can. | |||

Only time I have ever drank Lone Star and liked it, was at the brewery in San Antonio! Don't really matter to me, I will be guiding deer hunters, and I will take that ANY DAY over being in Dallas for any reason! Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Lone Star & Pearl are both owned by Pabst- as in Blue Ribbon - now and brewed under license by Miller. Miller is now owned by AB/Inbev. AB/InBev owns South African breweries, among others, that makes Castle Lager. So there is your African connection!! Maybe they will start importing Castle? 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

Lone Star and Pearl were both originally brewed in San Antonio. Lone Star was the Lager and Pearl was the Pilsner. | |||

Both of them are damn close to water. Shiner Bock isn't for me either. I had some good beer in Texas, but your microbrews are not as good as the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest Microbrews. We have ok beer here in Germany. If you ever happen upon a case of Paulaner Bock or Double Bock or Winterfest buy all of it you see. | |||

I fish occasionally with a person financially associated with Jester King Brewery a very popular craft brewery in Austin, TX. He brings some of their beer for the evening meal...but loves some cold Lone Star while on the boat...usually brings a case. When I travel...I am a local craft drinker myself...never saw an IPA I didn’t like. But for general drinking purposes...Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills music keeps my heart alive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Those clever Yanks (or Texans?)! With a camo beercan one can just cast the empty can away in the wild and the littering will at least not be seen!

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!
