The latest batch of label approvals…
Shiner Ruby Redbird: “This crisp, refreshing summer seasonal is brewed with Texas Ruby Red grapefruit, the signature citrus of the Rio Grande Valley. Tartness from the grapefruit and a delightful kick from ginger combine for a taste that’s perfect for hot summer days. Its deep gold color and full body come from pure Munich malt and Mt. Hood, Citra and Cascade hops balance the flavor well.” Availability is April – September.
