(Blanco, TX) – Recently approved. Says Gabriel Gregerman of Real Ale Brewing, “The Alamo is a label redesign for a beer that we’ve been making for several years. It’s actually the same beer as Firemans #4 but under a different label. Next seasonal will be Phoenixx (draught only) and Sisyphus 2008 (early Feb, bottles and draught)” (see pic below).
