BBQ-ing This Summer? Better Have This Texas Brew

A BBQ ain't a BBQ without a cooler full of ice cold beer and several BBQ experts just named their favorites with a Texas brew coming in at #2.

Vinepair.com consulted with Pitmasters from coast to coast about which beer is best for BBQ's and which goes best with several chillin' and grillin' favorites like ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork and more.

The Texas brew that made the cut? Good old Lone Star.

BBQ whisperer Evan LeRoy from LeRoy & Lewis Barbecue in Austin told vinepair.com:

The crisp and refreshing taste pairs perfectly with smoked brisket, peppery pork ribs, or snappy jalapeño sausage. Lone Star is just as important to Texas barbecue as post oak wood and black pepper.”

Miller, just so you know, is also the most popular beer in the USA with Coors Light ... my total fave, bbq or no bbq ... leading the pack in Texas and New Mexico. As anyone who knows me will attest, it's my go-to for BBQ's. Fancy dinners, lunches, snacks ... breakfast ... any time at all really.
