HateEvent Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 A contribution (I'll join in with you on these Bri, depending on what we have in at the time of course ):-LONE STARTexas, USA4.65% ABVLone Star BeerLone Star beer uses the finest hops from the Pacific Northwest with hearty grains from the Central and Northern Plains. Malted barley and corn extract combine to provide Lone Star with nature's finest ingredients for brewing. Lone Star's ingredients give this beer its full natural flavor. The choicest hops lend complexity and aroma to this beer, and its proprietary mashing regimen creates the perfect balance of alcohol, body, and character.The National Beer of Texas contains 136 calories and 12 grams of carbohydrates per 12 oz. serving at 4.65% ABV. Lone Star beer corrals a lively carbonation level of 2.7 volumes of CO2 for a unique balance of refreshment and taste.(You also get a little riddle to decipher on the cap (which is a twist off)).
