Football in Southeast Texas

Visit HEB Stores for Craft Beer, Wine, and Snacks All Season Long!

Pop a Cork – Football Season is Back!

Southeast Texans have suffered through a long football drought. Who will win it all this year? Houston Texans? Pittsburgh Steelers? Dallas Cowboys?

Well, pop a cork, the wait is over!

HEB Plus on Dowlen has a number of nice choices to help you celebrate the return of football. 

They also have an alternative if you’re a man who never really fell in love with the taste of champagne, or sparkling wine.

Southeast Texas HEB Stores carry a number of high quality beer offerings that come in wine bottles.

You can pop a cork to celebrate and then drink something you enjoy and appreciate – beer.

For my “football is back” celebration, I chose a bottle of Pere Jacques, Belgian Style Abbey Ale.

Many Southeast Texas beer fans discovered Belgian Abbey Ales in college when they were first learning all of the different flavors and complexities a beer could have.

I think my first was Chimay and it was clear that this was a beer worth contemplating.

Many American beer drinkers were impressed with these Belgian Abbey ales and have worked very hard to recreate them or put their twists on them.

One that has created a wonderful “Belgian Styles Abbey Ale” is Pere Jacques by Goose Island Brewery in Illinois.

On a recent visit to HEB Plus on Dowlen I picked up one in a wine bottle. It really is a perfect combination for Southeast Texas men to enjoy for a special celebration- looks like a wine, tastes like one of the world’s best beers.

Pop one open to celebrate the return of football. The Lamar Cardinals are currently undefeated, what a wonderful time in Southeast Texas.

While you are at your neighborhood Southeast Texas HEB Store pick up a few extra bottles of wine and craft beer for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and your anniversary.

Pop a cork for football season.

Most Southeast Texans already know HEB Plus on Dowlen as a favorite Beaumont wine shop and place to find a special bottle of craft beer to share with friends.

NOTE: Wine and beer selections change frequently at your Southeast Texas HEB Stores, so there is always something new to discover.
