I STILL can’t believe you let people talk you out of going to the Iron Bowl.. hahaha you missed the iron bowliest iron bowl that’s ever iron bowled with Auburn having a literal 99.9% chance of winning with 45 seconds left and then lose on a 4th and Goal from the 31 yard line .. that play is the reason Alabama is in the final 4 to play for another national championship game.. man and you chose a Vandy game
@@Kevin_Lazar I dont think they realized they could easily drop $1500+ on just a few hours of one of the biggest college football games of the year until they found out too late. Even Daz has said before that even the biggest soccer games they go to, they at most spend around $400-500 with food and everything. Lots of Europeans are perplexed at the money Americans spend for the most mundane events let alone big games. The most expensive season ticket package for Manchester United which has one of the largest fanbases in the world is less than $1k as of this year.
@@josephbridges7470 I’m not saying you are wrong or not the reason .. I’m going off their multiple videos on/or mentioning going to Alabama and mentioning the iron bowl several times and then seeing the ignorant comments from few people under those videos hating on Alabama and Daz’s replies to those asking where else they should go. Several people mentions of Tennessee then the next video put out they have changed their mind and going to Tennessee .. that’s my analysis on the situation and how I got my conclusion
Bristol, England TH-camr Mr. H from Mr. H and Friends, along with his wife and daughter, recently visited Texas. They tried different Texas barbecue joints, had breakfast tacos, went to Buc-ee's, watched a Professional Bull Riders event, tried Whataburger, and visited the State Fair of Texas. He tried Shiner Bock and loved it as well.
Shiner, Texas is a special place, a lot of people don’t know that the area around Shiner was settled by Germans in the 1800s. After they settled, while a lot of the community farmed and couple of families who worked or owned breweries back in Germany decided to open new breweries here. I always hear stories of Germans coming to Texas and being amazed how much Shiner beer reminds them of the beer back home.
Last year I visited the Shiner brewery (a tiny town in middle of nowhere) while I was working in SE TX. There was a group of folks from the UK there. I had to ask them “why the hell are y’all all the way out here?” They said they had visited TX previously, loved the beer so much they planned another trip & drove 2 hrs to take a tour of the brewery. I loved it
When I was in the Air Force, you couldn't really get Shiner beer outside of Texas. Our tech school for my specialty was in Texas. So our shop had a rule that when you went to Texas for additional training, you'd need to bring back a 12-pack of Shiner Bock for the shop. :-)
Shiner has been a very good friend of mine for years! Being a Texan I kind of have a sense of pride in seeing this video, great job and entertaining! You should give Bass Ale a try too, another one of my faves. I think you might enjoy it as well.
Love Shiner Bock. Fantastic brew. Always think of Jason Boland’s song Somewhere Down in Texas when I’m drinking one. “And the rays of light through my Shiner Bock bottle, make we wanna turn the keys and pull down the throttle. And get lost down 35.”
Y'all know how to have fun! I loved the look on Aidan's face when he took that first sip of the whiskey. Wish I could have been there with you. It has been a long time since I was in Nashville. Blessings and Peace!
I dated a girl in college from Shiner 2:30 , TX. Her dad worked at the brewery. We didn’t make it too long but was sure to go home with her and get a private tour
Sounds like the setup for a joke. "An English dude met a German dude at a bar in Texas ............." with a punch line ending in "I didn't know sheep could kick that hard"
I tried Theakston's Old Peculiar stout (British beer) at room temperature and found it tasted delicious. I could almost chew the toasted grains, hops, and yeast!
You pronounce Buc-ee's like I would say bookies. I was thinking wow he already has a bookie in Nashville and he hooked him up with some beer! Shiner Bock is big in Texas. I drank way too much of it when I was in college at Texas A&M.
The other major/semi-major American beers I'd recommend would be Yuengling and Sam Adams. Sam's got a ton of seasonal and rotating specialties every year and they're normally great. Cold Snap, their winter/spring white ale, is a top three beer for me. Local microbrews and regional breweries are where it's at depending on where you're visiting though.
I really like the Shiner Black Lager. It has nearly the taste of a porter but has clean crisp finish like a lager. They also make a beer with mesquite in it. Full Sail brewing makes a Session lager that is one of my favorites as well. And as for an amber ale I like 90 schilling by Odell brewing.
I'll keep a lookout for the Black Lager. My beer interest doesn't start until you get to brown ale. I've got thick pitch-black cask-conditioned tripples and quads that come in waxed bottles, are 13% and go for 15 a bottle. "Princes taste and a pauper's purse." Samuel Smith's Chocolate Stout makes a very satisfying substitute when I'm not feeling so flush.
Shiner is the ONLY beer I will drink. Luckly, I live in Texas, so it's usually available anywhere I go. They also have "seasonal" beers. Prickly Pear is one of my favorites!
On Long Island I can find it at a few places, oddly enough Target is one of them! But they go out of stock pretty fast and they only sell 6 packs. I always feel like I'm wasting money buying a 6 pack because the value per beer is shit.
@@OrondeBranch They can sell beer, but that's it. NY's law is weird where you need a different license to sell hard liquor and wine, and then you can't sell beer. Grocery stores can sell beer and wine-like products (not wine) so like lower abv wine coolers and such. You also can't purchase alcohol before noon on Sundays which is annoying if you have afternoon plans and are doing errands. No liquor store is gonna want to sell beer anyway, takes up too much space.
In the 1960s/1970s Lowenbrau had something of a lock on the market for imported European beers which may explain why you had trouble getting Stella Artois. But you could also get Heineken then and I knew at least one person who wouldn't drink anything else.
I'm glad you guys had a good time in our city. Cheers 🍻 on making it back home safe! I'm planning a trip to your territory and will hopefully be attending the game vs united in March
Just came back from a work trip to Houston and I did the same thing Daz. I had no idea what to drink so my coworker was like I'll have a Shiner Bock and it played out just the same, Not a bad beer at all
I lived in Austin, TX for 2 years, as soon as I walked into a bar (pub) it was Shiner on tap in a frosty mug. Back in my hometown in NY state and finally got Shiner Bock in the stores a few years ago.
You need to either go to the Great Taste of the MidWest held in Madison, Wisconsin the second Saturday in August. 105+ regional brewers with well over 1000 beers to taste. Look it up online. Tickets sellout in 15 minutes. Or go to The Great American Beerfest in Denver. A week of sampling great craft beers from around the country.
Daz, been watching your videos for a while. GLad to see you and your family having fun in my country. Also relieved to hear you were treated well and enjoyed your stay. YOu gotta try more micro brew! Cheers brother!
Love a yuengling when I can get one! August schells up here in new ulm,MN is pretty neat as well. 1860 and considered the second oldest family owned brewery, also German immigrants. 🍻
You're right Daz! When I went to England (my first and only time) in the late 90s, we stopped in a pub and I didn't know any of the beers. I saw Stella, it looked good and I ordered it. Being from So Cal, I'd never heard of it. Then the Amy Winehouse song about "Stella and fly" and I thought--wait a minute! That's that Stella beer I tried in England! I've heard about Shiner Bock but not often. I probably drank it once back in my 20s. You make me want to look for it and try it again.
Shiner is my favorite by far. The next closest thing for me is Samuel Adams original Boston logger, then maybe Revolver Blood and Honey… another Texas brew
As someone who lived just outside of Shiner, TX until recently, the Bock gets recognition because it is distributed further, but I always preferred their other offerings. Plenty to choose from, all the way down to Rattlesnake which is more of a weak pale ale or pilsner on a par with or surpassing what mort American brewers offer as their standard fare. I like the Bock, but if I am going there there are other breweries that I prefer.
I'm from Tennessee. I would drink Stella occasionally when I was drinking more. It was good on tap but in bottles it was pretty skunky by the time it made it to Tennessee I think.
Rock out G!!! 😁👍 Just seeing this compilation alone it seems like y'all have a great incentive to move to the Nashville area! And it's right between two sets of friends in KY and AL. Ofc G knows Luke Bryan... She's seen him shake his money maker 🤣 I lived a few years in Texas too and Shiner is about half way to Bavarian dark Bock beers which you could say, being funny mostly, are almost like beer "soup!" 😋 Very dark and rich. Many get to love them. Germans do call beer "flussiges Brot" or liquid bread. There are the wheat beers, Weizen, which come with Hefe, yeast, and are cloudy, and the Kristallweizen, or clear wheat beers, which other than a Pils are my favorite! I think G would really like that... Kristallweizen. If you find it in the UK or the US from Germany try it for sure!!! Daz and Aiden could try the dark German Bock. They might like it. Many learned to love it when I was in Germany. König Ludwig is a well known one (after King Ludwig II... of Bavaria). Cheers guys 👍❤️❤️❤️
Yeah it's been around for a long time even though it was made overseas. According to Google, "When was Stella Artois first sold in the US?" "1926 - Stella Artois was launched initially as a seasonal beer especially for the Christmas holiday market."
Shiner best served cold. Bavarian style. It's shipped world wide. If you ever visit the brewery they have a map with all the countries and cities. The ultimate is some Texas BBQ to go with it. We have a good time back in Texas
Shiner was brewed at the K. Spoetzel Brewery, named after Kosmos Spoetzl (a Bavarian). His daughter, known as Miss Celie, played a large part in keeping the Texas Shiner tradition strong after her mother died in 1921. She was the one who convinced her father to stay in Texas and she also ran the brewery for many years after her father died in 1950. She became the only female brewery owner in the nation. Control of the business by Spoetzl's family ended in 1966, when brew-master William Bigler of San Antonio bought the firm. It is the 12th oldest brewery in the country that is still in operation. Texas brew laws were rather restrictive and if you wanted Shiner beer in the 70's and 80's you pretty much had to drive out to Shiner to buy it. My grandfather would make several trips to Shiner every year. Texas has some of the most heavy-handed alcohol regulations in the country - largely thanks to special interests groups that like the laws just the way they are. Some regulations are just downright bizarre.
Go Gaynor!! I'm loving your trip and can't wait for more. Gaynor my bff and I will always tell each other what we think of how well our hair is adjusting to the water whenever we travel. How did your hair adjust for you? Good or bad? I think your hair looks great and healthy!
I remember seeing Stella sold in the DMV (the DC area) in the late 80s. Distributors' availability in the US can be very different from region to region.
Im surprised you cant get Shiner in the UK since it's owned by Gambrinus that's the 14th largest brewery in the US. Ive seen US beers from many much smaller breweries on UK menus.
Try if you find it Pikesville Rye Whiskey 110 Proof with two fingers and just 2 Ice Cubes and let it set a minute or two. When the ice begins to melt it releases the true taste... Good Stuff And next time I'm home in Teas...I'm gonna look out for thr Shiner Bock... Sounds right up my alley...

Shiner Bock is the best beer out there, and I'm from Virginia, can only find it at certain stores around here
Hate to break it to you Daz, but I worked in a bar in San Antonio Texas and we sold Stella. This was in 1986.
You don’t look old enough Keith 😂.
A few companies make Bock beer, Shiner is my favorite, you should just checkout what bock beer is and how it is made. Greatkeep them coming family
Shiner Bock is great. That’s a beer I’ll order whenever it’s available at a bar.
Yuengling is America's oldest brewery and its located in Pennsylvania.
Established in 1829 by a German immigrant

First time trying Shiner was on a visit to San Antonio from NYC circa 2003. At the time I had never seen or heard of it...made me a fan.

Stella Artois has been fairly common in the USA for at least 10-15 years now. Maybe longer but that’s when it entered my consciousness.

I had my first Stella in San Antonio Texas in 1986. So Daz is way off on that one.
An old fashioned is great with rye imo. The sweetness cuts out the rye spice and really adds a complex flavor.
My current favorite rye with an old fashioned is rittenhouse rye.. If someone likes cinnamon in their old fashioned I would recommend michters rye

Try if you find it Pikesville Rye Whiskey 110 Proof with two fingers and just 2 Ice Cubes and let it set a minute or two. When the ice begins to melt it releases the true taste... Good Stuff And next time I'm home in Teas...I'm gonna look out for thr Shiner Bock... Sounds right up my alley...
i'm also in Texas and Stella is my go to beer
