Some of both, I think. Katy's in a bit of a bubble, and I'm not just talking about the weather. The first time we did this, though, we had people visiting from the UK. That was just hysterical!

Your guests must be a bunch of transplanted Yankees! Either that, or the SE Texas border ends just east of Katy. It’s a lot of fun to watch our guests try to figure out how to deal with it. Their reactions to how I eat them vary from avoiding watching me to horrified, open-mouthed fascination.

Ya know, the mudbugs have become kind of a symbol at my house. For the last few years, they're also what we have for my Birthday Feast. It's a lot of fun to watch our guests try to figure out how to deal with it. Their reactions to how I eat them vary from avoiding watching me to horrified, open-mouthed fascination. LOL!!!!! Thanks Ashley!

It tastes kinda like Dixie, but there's no substitute for aging in the cypress barrels. Actually, they are brewing Dixie now — a contract brewer on the north shore.

Good on ya! But my beer intake these days is limited to "with crawfish" -- or "there's a Blue Moon outside", and DH just likes Heineken. I see from your Flickr photostream, though, that you're somewhat of an afficionado. Shoulda known.... ::smiling:: I agree that supporting local is the best way to go in most things. Good on ya!

The only one left is Abita. I have a six pack of the Strawberry Lager in my fridge right now - interesting stuff. As a beer drinker, I always try to support local - which means Abita in New Orleans, St. Arnold's in Houston.
