Shiner!

One of my favorite parts of going to SXSW, as you may recall, is drinking Shiner beer. I was first told about this magical (cheeeeep) beverage by a friend who'd moved up here from Houston. She has since moved back, and I want to believe that at least part of the reason was that she missed her Shiner beer. You see, you can't purchase Shiner beer in Illinois. Some kind of regulatory thing. Except now you can! Shiner has come to Chicago, and although the brain dead kid down at the 7-Eleven didn't care, I sure do.
