Lol

By 21 I had pretty much given up drinking.

As someone said before its way less fun when it's legal.

 

Yes, rum is made from sugar cane. Color usually comes from aging if I'm not mistaken. Ever seen the show Three Sheets?

 

I was going to say you could always go to a mexican restaurant ( most will sell anything) and buy a bottle but it sounds like you don't need it. lol

 

Where bouts?

 

Its illegal under federal law unless you have a license (extremely expensive and full of regulations and requirements), as far as I know. (For distilled spirits).

 

South Central Texas.

Nothing but beer drinking red necks and Mexicans.

 

Head on up to Portland, Oregon and find out what good beer is. There is a reason why Portland is called beervana. Not trying to start a pissing match here. PDX just has more breweries per capita than any other city in the USA..

 

I didnt say we made it. We just drink it.

Only brewery around here is the Spoetzel brewery in Shiner. There's a large Czech population here and Bohemian.

 

Should I even justify these comments with a reply about being in Germany..... yes!

 

Isn't the family that makes Shiner German?

 

Yes

Most popular drink around here is Shiner Bock.

 

I actually want to visit that brewery after reading about it in a book. Definitely sounded cool with the town and family history surrounding that place. I can arrange for a few yeasted beverage samples for some of the stuff out of your local brewery of you're interested?

 

Have to admit I do love to partake in some Shiner Bock, and other Shiner beers. Getting way to spoiled over here though. Hard to drink a lot of American beers anymore.

 

Very jealous man, I would love Germany for all of the Weizen and other beer styles. Not to mention you guys can get Pilsners and Belgians. Awesome awesome stuff, sir. I give respect.

 

Yeah, Prague was great for pils, planning on a trip to Belgium for a good sampling!

 

I feel funny..

 

You need to try Hair Of The Dog beers or if you can get some; Cascade Brewing Company. Cascade makes the best soured beer in the country.

 

...is this real life?

 

What's crazy is that most local restaurants don't carry it. Shiner. Bars do. For most of the 90s and 2000s it was the beer of choice in college towns like Austin and College Station.

According to the brewery it was a beer that they always had trouble selling, Bock. It wasn't watered down as much as American beers and then it caught on in the bars on 6th street in Austin and the rest is history. The always sold their original Shiner beer to the local Czechs and Bohemians, but it was the popularity of Bock and the subsequent beers that really brought them big success.

 

Was wondering if you were too drunk to post already!
Pretty sure I have heard of Hair of The Dog, not sure if I have had any. Usually look for new beers when I am back. Sweetwater 420 is awesome too, Al may know it.
