I live in Chicago. My wife will be in Houston this weekend. What are some good beers for her to bring back to me?
I recommend all of these. They should be easy to find. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/16759/47026/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/458/7588/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27403/77627/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27403/75574/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27403/108476/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/337/78927/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/26762/76498/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24018/75575/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29656/86132/ And also, send some Revolution and Pipeworks!!!
Forgot to mention, best places to have her look for all those will be D&Q Mini-Mart and the Spec's Smith St location. D&Q is literally just a convenience store that has a bunch of beer, but Spec's is the equivalent of Binny's, with the Smith St location being the largest.
