Redbird

Lately, I haven't been drinking much beer. So many sources extoll the benefits of red wine, so I have been mostly enjoying that in the evenings. But, with summer here, an ice cold beer sounds so much more refreshing than a glass of Pinot noir. And when I spotted Shiner's Ruby Redbird at the liquor store around the corner, it sounded even more refreshing!

We drank this last summer at the lake house up in Holland, MI, but I never found it here in Texas. Perhaps they had already sold out of it? Flavored with Texas ruby red grapefruit, it's refreshing without being overly sweet like many citrus-flavored beers. Plus, the addition of ginger gives it an amazing, spicy punch. I'm stocking up so I can enjoy it all summer!
