Dunno if anyone has ever heard of it before, but I'm enjoying one right now. I'll type the label out because you really can't read it all from the photo:


Rare Breed
Blind Salamander Pale Ale

The Texas Blind salamander, Eurycea rathbuni
is a rare cave dwelling troglobite amphibian
native to San Marcos, Hays County, Texas;
specifically the San Marcos Pool of the
Edwards Aquifer. The salamander has two
two external gills for absorbing oxygen in
the water. The salamander's mature length is (can't read this)
cm (5 in). Its diet varies by what flows into the
cave, including shrimp, snails, and amphipods.

SALAMANDER

Maybe the coolest little guy you've
never heard of. You may not realize
it, but you're already doing your part
to protect this endangered species
and other Texas wildlife.

Rahr is donating a portion of Rare
Breed sales to the Texas Parks &
Wildlife Foundation to help protect
endangered species in our state.

Rare Breed is Rahr-brewed in Fort
Worth, TX. A truly local brewery,
we're doing what we can to help
preserve the natural state of Texas.

That's very cool Nate. It's good to see you can get drunk and contribute to an endangered species at the same time. Are these sold widely or are they a local thing?

Seems to be just a Metroplex thing at most
