Today, I got a six pack of Alaskan Amber at my local beer store. "Buy the last six pack and I'll give you a 10% discount," the owner says. "Sure!" I say.
Tastes a lot like Lone Star Bock to me. Anyone want 5 bottles of Alaskan Amber?

Never been one of my favorites....

I tried a 6-pack because it said "alt" style on it. I was underwhelmed but Alaskan Amber is somewhat better than lonestar bock, but not by much.

Alaskan amber isn't that great either. Some of their beers are good but I'm not fond of that one.

Certain HEB's actually have a pretty good beer selection. Saves me trips to Gabriel's (don't get me wrong tho, I still hit up Gabriel's whenever I can, especially for the Schmaltz brewery stuff). The one on huebner and babcock ain't bad, and the one on bandera/1604 is actually sometimes pretty good. A lot of the craft beers are even kept cold, especially at the bandera store.
euge:
I haven't been to the bandera location. But, nearly all have some sort of "crafty" beer like sam adams or blue moon, shocktop etc... I think central market has the most comprehensive selection- though it was a bit more eclectic a few years ago.

Yeah. I got a 6-pack of Alaskan Amber because someone in my club was raving about it, talked me into getting a case for them when I was last in WI (since it's not distributed here). I suspect most of it is still taking up valuable fridge space that could be devoted to beers I would actually choose to drink.
