Those who will be attending the State Fair of Texas this year have the opportunity to sample a wide range of fun new food and beverages, and adults will be able to taste a uniquely flavored ale.
True to its name, the Corn Dog Ale takes inspiration from a battered, deep-fried sausage and as the State Fair of Texas describes, it was formulated to "evoke the flavor and aroma of a classic, delicious corndog." The amber ale was made with a blend of Pale 2-Row barleys, caramel malt and smoked malt, plus eight specially selected herbs and spices to recreate the smokiness of the classic state fair food.
To complete the unconventional drinking experience, the State Fair of Texas serves the Corn Dog Ale in a glass that's rimmed with yellow mustard.
