About
Bexar County Brewery was born out of the need for newer more creative beers to be produced in England. The days of only having a handful of styles of beers to drink are ending, and we are part of that change. A beer revolution is occurring, and I am proud to be on the front lines.
Please have a look around. Here you will find loads of useful information (and plenty of rubbish as well) about the brewery as well as updates on beers being produced and where you may find them.
Cheers!

Roasted malty bitter cocoa and slight sweet. Slight Belgian yeasty. Maybe the last place ever serving the last vintage of this.

Bottle from the Virtual Salford Independent Beer Festival box. Aroma is vinous and fruity. Underlying almost honey sweet hints. Opaque light brown. A load of floaters. Creamy light beige head soon shrinks away. Initial sour edged sweet fruitiness is replaced by a medium bitter streak, which I guess is reminiscent of tea. As I drink more it really picks up a highly sour vein which will be the impact of the damson. Light bodied. Thin. Flat carbonation. Long very dry astringent finish. I like this. A light sour red. I guess it's more like a standard sour or a watered down one but fruity and bitter, perhaps the impact of the Kombacha. I messaged the two hip young people I know and neither of them have ever had Kombucha. My homework from this beer: try some of that stuff. Enjoyable if different. Slips down.

Gravity cask at the 2020 Leicester Beer Festival. Dark brown, opaque with a bit of creamy khaki head. Coffee and chocolate aroma with fresh paper and light stone fruit. Balanced taste: the fruity bitterness is calmed by a light sweetness. The finish however is bitter with plum and cooking chocolate. Full body, light carbonation. Decent.

Gravity cask at the 2020 Leicester Beer Festival. Pink and cloudy with very little head. Sharp acidic berry notes in the aroma. Taste is bitter and fruit-laden, with an uncompromising bitter/sour finish. Light body, no carbonation. Doesn't come together particularly well.

Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured pitch black with brown edges, not a lot of head bubbles. Aroma is dark fruit, candy, chocolate, light smoke, roasted malts. Taste has a card smoke, roasted malts, coffee, interesting bitter chocolate and fruit mix.

17/01/2020. Cask at the 11th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. As Son Of Papa Steve, this was served last year at Peterborough Beer Festival (and is on another beer rating website) as Papa Steve 2019. Pours opaque black with a small beige head. The Belgian yeast makes a huge difference compared to Papa Steve. Aroma is lovely. Dark, dried and tart fruits, light spiced fruit cake, dark chocolate, roasted malt and a touch of coffee. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness, light tartness. Medium to full body, slick/oily texture, soft to flat carbonation. This is very good too, for me the original Papa Steve just shades ir.

17/01/2020. Cask at the 11th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. In the programme as the original and only recipe Steve was on-hand to confirm this has gone back to its origins. Pours opaque black with a small beige head. Aroma of toffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, biscuit, dried fruits, touch of nut and molasses. Medium sweetness and moderate to medium roasted bitterness. Full bodied, slick texture, soft to flat carbonation. Toasted, dark chocolate, moderately bitter, warming finish. Yep, this is good.

17/01/2020. Cask at the 11th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Pours cloudy pale gold with a small white head. Aroma of lime, citrus, touch of tequila. Moderate sweetness and bitterness, with quite light tartness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. Big lime finish. It probably achieves what it sets out to achieve but it wasn't a hit with us.
