From the lukewarm headwaters of the mighty Brazos River, the famous beer from “King of The Hill” will soon be sold in real life.
If your back alley hangouts have been missing a little Arlen flair, Alamo Beer — aptly brewed by San Antonio-based Alamo Beer Company — will launch on H-E-B shelves as early as Monday, July 28, ahead of the show’s reboot on Monday, Aug. 4.
The light American lager will appear in its signature red, blue, and tan can, with a 4.4% ABV. Before the official launch, Alamo Beer was widely believed to be based on Lone Star.
You can get excited for the launch by watching the show’s newest trailer.
The fun doesn’t have to end here. After reading the newsletter, head over to our games page. Games refresh with new challenges every day at 6 a.m. from crossword puzzle to Sudoku to themed word search.
I got the chance to try Alamo Beer for myself during ATX TV Festival earlier this year. It’s an easy-drinking light beer with no frills — perfect for drinking in the alley with your friends. I’m going to celebrate by watching my favorite episode of the show: “A Beer Can Named Desire.”
