moving on from wine - salamanders and beer


To complement the recent posts regarding wine - wine companies helping with salamander conservation or a winery naming themselves after a salamander, I've come across a listing of a brewer, Rahr & Sons Brewing in Fort Worth, Texas, naming a beer after a salamander, the Texas Blind Salamander, Eurycea rathbuni. The brewer is donating a portion of the Blind Salamander Pale Ale proceeds to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation to help with species recovery.

For those who care more about the drinking of the beer, I've checked ratebeer.com and Blind Salamander Pale Ale scored a 53 out of 100.

I didn't know when I posted this entry that today was Blind Salamander Day at the Rahr & Sons brewery.
