Pure Texas

Me at the Alamo
Now, New Yorkers have pride ... but do they have their own line of tissue boxes??

This is my roommate's bike that I've borrowed. If you look closely, very closely, you'll see that it's a Shiner Bock bike. Despite what you might have heard, many argue that Shiner Bock and NOT Lone Star is (or should be) the official beer of Texas. There was no competition as far as I was concerned: Lone Star is a lager created by Anheuser-Busch, while a German immigrant named Spoetzl created Shiner Bock. Beer snobbery aside, Shiner Bock just tastes better. So imagine my delight when I noticed that the dusty bike in my roommate's garage bares the name of this local brew!
