Southern Star Brewery - Bombshell Blonde Ale


Southern Star Brewery, a fairly new brewery in the booming metropolis of Conroe, TX, is the brewery any of us could have started. It is in a converted warehouse, it is predominantly manual everything. There are no bottles - all cans. It is employed by beer enthusiasts and previous employees from other breweries (that wanted to get back to the roots of brewing). It really gives you the "yes, this is a REAL brewery" feeling... Because it is.
On to the beer.
Ok, it is no mystery how I felt about their Pine Belt Pale Ale - AKA Tree Sap, but Southern Star completely redeemed themselves with Bombshell Blonde Ale. It is great. Unfiltered, non-pasteurized, all natural. It is what beer was meant to be. And though I typically keep away from "yellow beers," this seems to be a beer everyone likes. Literally. I keep this beer in my beer fridge at all times, because I love it, but so does everyone else that tries it. What makes it so great? It is one of those beers that isn't "too much" of anything. Not too hoppy, not too sweet, not too high of alcohol, everything is just right. This beer strikes me as a contest winner, so watch out blonde craft beers, this blonde is the bomb(shell).
