Black Star is coming out for spring. I reviewed this beer a few months back and I recommended it with some reservations about the double hop claim.
But these 24 oz cans priced around $2.00 bucks is a steal. Now you can have a great lawnmower beer and not sacrifice the taste.

Thank goodness industrial water lager beers are done with. I can put that away for a few years. What better way to cleanse the palate then with a well-made lager.
This beer came to me from the efficient marketing folks at Black Star along with a nifty package of goodies. So let’s see how Black Star tastes (in can and bottle)
The Black Star in Texas has taken the owned by thing seriously.
Owned by and for themselves, not some conglomerate of breweries they are close to being up and running and I applaud them.
I also thought this tidbit from their website was interesting…”Drinkability is a term that comes up frequently when we’re talking about our future Black Star beers, and with the majority of our recipes, I’ve tried to tweak them to be more “drinkable.”
From a recipe standpoint, this usually means lower finishing gravities, slightly higher carbonation levels (although this is debatably more drinkable), use of wheat, and a balance of maltiness, hoppiness, and alcohol. I would say drinkability is made up of mouthfeel, refreshinicity (yeah, you heard me), and inebriatability.”
