How we score

The editorial take

Alamo Beer Company runs a taproom and beer hall pouring its own core lineup, with a live taplist on its Our Beers page. The Core Three covers a 4.7% Golden Ale with light malt sweetness and a clean finish, a 5.5% Vienna-style Amber Lager with fresh-baked bread and gentle toast, and a 7.0% Hazy IPA with tropical fruit, citrus, and a silky mouthfeel. The brewery uses Texas limestone-filtered water and simple ingredients, with no fruit and no gimmicks. A beer finder tool locates the brands at retailers across Texas.

What should I order?: Start with the Alamo Beer Golden Ale, the 4.7% signature that started it all, then move to the 5.5% Vienna-style Amber Lager for its fresh-baked bread and gentle toast, or the 7.0% Hazy IPA for tropical fruit and a juicy finish. The taproom taplist is the place to compare all three.

When should I go?: The taproom and beer hall setting works for a casual visit to compare the Core Three on the live taplist. The beer finder tool helps locate the brands at retailers across Texas when a taproom visit is not possible.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: Alamo Beer Company brews its own core lineup for its taproom and beer hall, using Texas limestone-filtered water and simple ingredients with no fruit and no gimmicks.
