Days of the Beer, March 6

The beer for today is Alamo beer Company, Alamo Golden Ale.

On March 6, 1836, after 13 days of siege, an army of 3,000 Mexican troops captured the Alamo and the last 2 of the 187 Texas volunteers defending the fort.

In the early hours of March 6, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. After repulsing two attacks, the Texans were unable to fend off a third. As Mexican soldiers scaled the walls, most of the Texian soldiers withdrew into interior buildings. Defenders who couldn't get to them were killed by Mexican cavalry as they tried to escape. Several Texians tried to surrender, but were executed. The Texians killed between 400 and 600 Mexicans.

As to the beer:

Alamo Golden Ale is an American Blonde Ale. It is 5.3%.

I'm not sure if the beer is still in production. Heck, there may be only 2 bottles of it left. The Alamo Beer Company is located in San Antonio, Texas "just a day's ride from the Alamo".

So, if you are trying to "remember the Alamo", have an Alamo Golden Ale.
