The beer is brewed with white wheat and Pilsen malt and then finished with hibiscus and agave nectar. High Desert Days has a unique-to-Texas flavor that provides a crisp and refreshing taste with sweet honey-like notes from the agave and tart, herbal, almost cranberry-like flavor from the hibiscus. Grab a six-pack or two this year by using Lone Star’s beer finder tool on its website.

Celebrating at Hopdoddy- 

  • On Father’s Day, June 20, Hopdoddy is offering a second beef patty on the house with the purchase of a burger or burger bowl. Just mention the promotion in-person at any one of the burger joint’s restaurant locations or select the double beef option when ordering online for curbside or pickup.

Celebrating at Home –

With every purchase of a Goodnight/Good Cause burger, a portion of the proceeds give back to Hopdoddy’s favorite community charitable organizations.
