Part II - Help, I'm Surrounded by BBQ and I Can't Find a Real Beer...

Indeed, they know tons about barbecue, but they know so little about beer. Four hundred sixty-one barbecue pits and all I could find was Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Light...the 3 basic beer groups down here. No Inversion IPA, no Lagunitas Capucino Stout, no Mirror Pond Ale, not even a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Oh, woe is me...I have so much work to do with my countrymen and women. In the meantime, I did find rum, and there was plenty of Coke, and I had unlimited access to open bars, so I was set.

On with the adventure...



Six Flags Over Texas and Texas-sized Mardi Gras Beads


And a couple of more BBQ alleys we walked...


A Couple of Flags that EP can Appreciate...


Pork anyone? This bad boy was going for a full 12 hours over a real wood fire


A couple more booths worth photographing..


And my favorite sign
It wouldn't be a Texas barbecue without washer pitchin'...

...or a good man to shine your boots...

...or a little cowboy

I think you have carved a niche and don't realize it. Perhaps they need to have a BBQ AND BEER contest? I mean, what's the deal?? What a great combo that would be!! So grandiose! So Texan! Pitch the idea Bubba -- get EVE to help with the business angle. It could turn into an INTERNATIONAL convention!!!!!
