Beer helps endangered species
Admittedly, a beer called Blind Salamander Pale Ale doesn’t sound very enticing. If you were to purchase a six-pack, though, you may come away feeling pretty good about it. The beer is a creation of Fort Worth-based Rahr and Sons Brewing. The brewery has created a line of beers called the Rare Breed series. A portion of the sales go to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation to benefit endangered species in the Lonestar State. Considering that, I’d be willing to give Blind Salamander a try. The Thirsty Beagle can report that on a recent trip to the Dallas area, I tried Rahr’s Blond Lager and came away quite impressed. And it seems the brewery is going the extra mile when it comes to being environmentally sound: The company uses 100 percent renewable electricity in its brewery and has a fleet of hybrid Priuses for staff to drive.
