I recently travelled to Houston, Texas and was able to visit 8th Wonder. They are a small draft-only brewery with a small tasting room at the production facility. We had a nice time and I would recommend it to anyone in the area. The Rocket Fuel Vietnamese Coffee Porter was truly world-class. Also while in Houston, I was able to visit the downtown Spec's location. What a great place. Not only for their fantastic beer selection, but for the liquor, wine and specialty foods not to mention the party supplies. You could literally spend hours in there. It was there that I was finally able to score some Blakkr that I smuggled into the Mecum auction in a Starbucks frappuccino cup. You gotta be creative. We got there early enough that we parked fairly close to the arena and it was worth the short walk out to the rental car and our makeshift cooler to get a refill. It sure beat $12 Bud Lights, I'll tell you that. A little closer to home, I was at the Winking Lizard in Montrose last weekend and they had a beer that has been on my try list for a long time: Cheers!
