I do hope and trust that Oz has some better beers than what is commonly
available in the US. But Texas has at least one good beer, Shinerbock.
I had some recently on my pass through Texas. First one in many
years. <http://www.shiner.com/main.php?page=history>
It's supposedly available in 40+ states. Although I've never seen it in
New York maybe it's available in the state of enlightenment (apparently
a non-physical place) :-)
