The Official Beer of Texas Celebrates 140 Years With New Armadillo Bobblehead
We love our beer in Texas! The National Beer of Texas has released a limited edition bobblehead to celebrate its 140th anniversary. Cheers!
Lone Star Beer has endured and refreshed generations of Texans since Lone Star Brewery was built 140 years ago in 1884.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited-edition Lone Star Beer Bobblehead. The bobblehead features the Lone Star armadillo drinking a bottle of Lone Star beer, and the armadillo’s tail also bobbles.
Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,024, and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads, expected to ship in January, are $30 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

We think people will love this unique bobblehead.”
About Lone Star Beer
Founded by Adolphus Busch of Anheuser-Busch in 1884 as the Alamo Brewing Company of San Antonio, the Lone Star Brewery was the first large, mechanized brewery in Texas.
Now owned by Pabst Brewing Company, the beer is still marketed as “The National Beer of Texas.” Production of Lone Star is currently contracted to Miller Brewing Company in Fort Worth, Texas. Available in almost every state, roughly 80 percent of Lone Star’s sales are made within its home state.
