6. trying to guess what your average bar might have. I prefer Duvel over those
but for Texas, you should try Shiner Bock

10. Shiner is great but stay away from their "smokehouse" Summer beer
it tastes like sausage or jerky

2. Black Butte Porter, which is a porter, obviously, and not a beer. Plus, it's a local micro-brew,
so I don't know if you can get it where you are.

But still, yummy! :beer: :9

8. There are too many good beers to mention. Get whatever everyone drinks, just not an Anheiser Busch

9. Bohemia
Edited on Wed Jul-15-09 10:28 PM by Kali
or Negra Modelo if you want to stay (but improve) on Mexican

Will the place likely have a good selection? Pilsner Urquell is really good, I never go anywhere but if I do and they have that I'll order it.

edit because I swear I need a new keyboard (or new fingers)
