It doesn’t get any better than this! Thanks for the post. Hubby loves Shiner Bock. Now, there’s even more to love in Shiner.

According to all the guys here, you can go there for beer, food AND firearms now. That’s something to celebrate for sure! :)

[luvie]

Are they being given a hard time there. I know they’d be welcomed with open arms here!

If you like it spicy - try Janak, another good sausage made between Shiner and Hallettsville.

Janak Packing.

That’s good stuff.

Seems quite easy, trouble is most Conservatives are too civil to do it.

Shiner, Texas

That's gonna give Cali's economy a black eye.

Road trip down 77 again!

Shiner Tx is just off Halletsville and 77.

Is that a Shiner in your holster or you just happy to see me?

[mylife]

I am bummed Double Shot closed :(

God Bless Him, Rick Perry is no wordsmith, but I like that guy.

[Carry_Okie]

Now all they need is an ammo plant to go with it.

[buffaloguy]

Yep, welcome to Texas.

I hope they are going to be giving tours of the plant.

Shiner is turning into Disney World for adults: Beer, sausage and guns, what could be better.

“Are they being given a hard time there. I know they’d be welcomed with open arms here.”

This is rural downstate. We’re just fine with them. It’s that tumor on the northeast corner of the state that will drive them out.

[luvie]

Now THAT sounds like a plan! LOL!

[luvie]

I’m ready for that road trip. It was so fun the first time! :)

Thanks for the ping. There is another gun manufacture that was going to open in Austin. They decided on Pflugerville because the permitting process is too difficult in Austin.
