Lone Star Brewing Celebrates Crawfish Season with Limited Edition “Crawdillo Club” Merchandise and Statewide Events

Posted on

Lone Star Brewing is leaning into crawfish season in Texas with a new merchandise line and events this April in Houston and San Antonio. As a nod to Lone Star’s iconic armadillo mascot, the new merchandise capsule features the armadillo wrestling a Lone Star beer away from a crawfish. The “Crawdillo Club” merchandise capsule includes a limited one-time print t-shirt, hat, bandana and shop rag, all available online now until it sells out. All of the merchandise was produced in Texas with the help of Morgan Mercantile in Fort Worth.  

The crawfish or “mudbug” has become a staple in the state of Texas. Thanks to the state’s proximity to Louisiana and the diversity of cities like Houston, Texans have embraced multiple styles of crawfish boils, whether it be purist, featuring spices in the boil, or made with a Texan twist using spices on the shell, or even the Vietnamese style made with lemongrass and fish sauce. 

“It’s not the beginning of spring until you get invited to a backyard boil or see crawfish for sale at a local grocer,” said Lone Star’s Senior Brand Manager Daniel Crawford. “We wanted to celebrate this time of year by leaning into this beloved delicacy with a merch capsule and event series.” 

As crawfish season has expanded throughout the state from backyard boils in Houston to festivals in some of the state’s major cities farther west, Lone Star Brewing is embracing the Cajun delicacy by sponsoring several crawfish-focused events including:

  • April 1-2, 2022: Big A** Crawfish Bash – Houston, TX
    • Crawfish, live music, drinks and more are available at the Big A** Crawfish Bash, sponsored by Lone Star Beer. This year’s festival benefits Camp Hope, Texas Special Olympics and various local education foundations. Advance “all you can eat” tickets are available online for $30. Onsite parking is also available for $20.
  • April 9, 2022 – Crawdillo Club – Houston, TX
    • Flint Field Tx is excited to present ‘Crawdillo Club,’ a celebration of Texas, mudbugs and baseball at the Union HTX, featuring Lone Star Beer.

Tickets for the event are available for $40 a person (kids 12 and under are free), and can be purchased here. Tickets include a crawfish plate, non alcoholic beverages, live music and more.
  • April 21, 2022 – Battle of the Boil – San Antonio, TX
