The Rahr Brewery, based in Fort Worth, will release its newest beer on Saturday, September 27. Joining such beers as the Ugly Pug Black Lager and Buffalo Butt red/amber lager is the Blind Salamander Pale Ale.
The Texas Blind Salamander is a "rare cave-dwelling troglobite amphibian native to San Marcos." The new Rahr pale ale is the first in a series of beers the brewery is labeling Rare Breeds. All beers in the series will feature an endangered Texas animal and a donation from the sales will go to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation. A beer-drinker's friendly explanation of the new "flavor" from the Brewery:
Blind Salamander Pale Ale is an English style pale ale made with a generous portion of East Kent Goldings hops, it has a rich malt and nut flavors punctuated with a delicious hop finish. It’s not over the top though, nicely balanced.
Rahr will debut Blind Salamander this Saturday at the weekly tasting event at 701 Galveston Avenue. $5 will buy a glass and three tokens for trying out beers. There are larger mugs available for $10 and $20. Patrons who bring their own Rahr glass (from a previous tasting) will still pay $5 admission, half of which goes to the Make A Wish Foundation. The Song Dogs will provide musical entertainment. Also on tap will be the Ugly Pug, Rahr's Red, and the Summertime Wheat.

Um, Erin, while you're there (and I KNOW you'll be there - beer <i>AND</i> blind salamanders, no way you're gonna pass on this one) would you pick me up a six pack?

Just make sure to park legally -- old folks home next door won't hesitate to tow. Not that I, um, know anything about that.
