Yes, I do make fun of Texas quite a bit, but...

I tired Shiner Smokhaus beer last night. It was different in a good way I've never had a beer made with Mesquite smoked malt before. You Texans sure know how to make pretty good beer.

1. Texans sure know how to eat and drink well.

Barbecued beef brisket. Football sized baked potatoes with everything on them---butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, AND beef brisket. Then there is chicken fried steak---real steak breaded and fried with gravy on top.

Oh god, I have to get on a plane and go back there NOW.

2. Thanks to the intervention of a certain tall, gorgeous Texan

( :loveya: babe! ), Shiner Bock has become my favorite beer. It brings me great joy when I can find a six-pack in the stores up here in PA.:9

3. If you are flying in/out or Texas, order Shiner Bock - it FOAMS at 30K ft. You get a free one.

No kidding. When the attendant opens it, it will foam like crazy. You get the original plus a second one free. If it is a long flight, you can order another one and end up with ANOTHER free beer. It works great.
