Glad to see you're doing your part for the Cause. We've got to keep our reputation up. Can you imagine the shame of seeing an article titled "Beer Consumption Down" about Texas? I imagine that would be about the time they were making snowballs in Hell.
Whenever my group of FReeper Friends converges on our local hangout in Houston, the beer sales for that night make a noticeable spike upward.
I did my part for the cause over the weekend. Now that I know there's an issue, I'll try to take up some slack tonight as well!
I was a beer-drinking heathen musician when I lived in Humble, too. The band I was in played what's called "Texas Country" and hit quite a few places in and around the Bayou City.
You Houston revelers do your part as well to keep brewers in business, and I'm proud of you.
