Buffalo Butt

Legend has it that back in the 1840's, a group of cowboys hanging out at one of the many bars in Fort Worth's "Hell's Half Acre" would quench their thirst while telling tales of their buffalo hunting days. When one of the cowboys said a nice, cold beer was the only thing that could make him forget the often-viewed sight of a buffalo's butt, the local brewmaster laughed and vowed to create Buffalo Butt beer to commemorate the posterior of the prairie's most majestic beast. Today, Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. continues this fine tradition with our own recipe for Buffalo Butt beer - a rich, amber lager that doesn't require months on a dusty trail, gazing at a buffalo's hindquarters to be enjoyed. Tasting Notes: Caramel, Light Malt Sweetness, Spicy Hops Serving Suggestions: Preferred Glass: Mug Preferred Serving Temperature: 45º Food Pairings: Buffalo Butt pairs well with Cajun and Mexican food. Of course we also think it's the perfect beer to be served with a rump roast, but that's only because we've never really grown up. Cheese Pairings: Monterey Jack, Gruyere
