From that Lil Ol' Brewery in Tejas...
That would be a Shiner 966, which is rated merely average at the go-to source for all things malt, hops, yeast and water. The Pros FromDover Boston haven't sampled this brew, so I tend to think the great majority of people reviewing the brew don't know their ass from their elbow and I take the wide variation between the best and the worst reviews as evidence supporting my opinion.
Me? I like it. The beer's nose is quite fruity but the taste is clean and not sweet at all. I'll prolly buy another sixer or two of this beer before it goes away (it's a seasonal brew, not a regular offering). This stuff goes down waaay too easy.
We... us beer drinkers... are living in something quite like a Golden Age. It seems like every time I turn around there's yet another brew I haven't tried and that's something, considering I live in a beer desert. The Deity At Hand only knows how I'd be if I lived somewhere with real beer stores. Wait. We've been there, done that, and have a few tee shirts to prove it. I'm prolly better off livin' where I do, now that I have all this free time on my hands.
So. It's out to the verandah to continue as we've begun. And you know we'll be listening to Tejas music since we're drinkin' Tejas beer. Like this:
Oh... HELL yes!

Oh...HELL yes is RIGHT!!! Texas beer & Texas Roadhouse music!! My fave ZZ song is "My Head's in Mississippi"
ReplyDelete(Something about naked cowgirls on the ceiling, dontcha know..)
"Missippi" was in the running for today's Happy Hour soudtrack, but i wanted sumthin' more Tejas-like.
DeleteI lied! Forgot. "Cheap Sunglasses" is tied in a dead heat with "My Head's in Mississippi" for my N0#1 ZZ fave
DeleteOT, Part2: TWO great quotes in row from comments @smalldeadanimals: A Cowboy's definition of a Consultant: "A consultant is your old TomCat who fell off the backfence and ripped his nuts off on the barbed-wire. Now he goes consulting." LOL!
ReplyDeleteHeh. That fits most consultants I knew and loved in the past... present company excepted, of course.
DeleteOne add quote I picked up (somewhere) regarding executive pay: "If you pay 'em peanuts you get a bunch of monkeys.."
ReplyDeleteI just noted that I'm typing-impaired. I guess that's what happens when you're on yer third beer. ;-).
DeleteBeer means nada when it comes to typing impairment.
DeleteI haven't had a beer since '02 and have only been typing impaired since about '07.
Prior to '02 I was thinking impaired... oh, wait... I'm still thinking impaired.
I think I remember the boys being called the "Best Little Band Out of Texas".
