Lone Star is the official beer of which U.S. state?

Lone Star is the official beer of Texas. The brand’s identity is closely tied to the state, where it is widely marketed as the “National Beer of Texas.”

The beer’s roots reach back to San Antonio. The original Lone Star Brewing Company was established there in 1884, although that first brewery closed during Prohibition. A later company revived the Lone Star name in 1940 and began producing the beer associated with modern Texas culture.

Lone Star is a lager, and its imagery—especially the lone star emblem—draws directly on Texas symbolism. The beer became particularly associated with dance halls, honky-tonks, country music and long-neck bottles. Its branding is cultural rather than a formal government designation: Texas does not officially assign one legally recognized state beer.

A common mix-up is Shiner Bock, another famous Texas beer produced by the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner. Shiner is an important Texas brand, but Lone Star is the beer traditionally described by the slogan in this question.
