    Mike’s Local Craft Beer Bar Named Best in Texas

    The Thistle DraftShop In Spring got the award. Never having successfully got a full beer down in my life, I will defer to the real beer guzzlers to verify.

    You missed the qualifier my friend---best in Texas---and those poor boys think Shiner Beer is good--obviously it doesn't take much to be best in Texas with that kind of company

    Of course you do---you're from Texas....and my comment wasn't as much about beer as it was taking a little playful jab at my friends in Texas

    We (Utah) have been in the news lately for our legislative attempts to do away with our antiquated 3.2% beer requirements. If all goes well, we may achieve what is known as adulthood in our state. Currently, if you want more than 3.2% beer you have to go to an official state liquor store to get it. And, breweries are getting tired of making special batches of beer for Utah.

    Drink it all while you can, my friends.

    Youse guys are getting very libertarian out there, it seems, Bill. I saw where a law just passed this week making it legal to fornicate outside marriage in Utah.

    Yes - that's us. Locals here joke that once you enter Utah, you have to move your calendars back 20 years.

    I am sure the previous bar on the devil’s pastime was very effective.
