Because we heard that things tend to be bigger down in Texas, our 35th State Show features six beers from Craig's recent travels. We try our best to span the Lone Star state (despite being a little Austin-heavy), and the focus on perfect execution and maximum drinkability is clear. Also, Craig tests out how to become a series regular on The Bear, Ryan wants the full recap of the Texas Trader Joe's, and we both plead with Illinois to follow the lead of the Texas Craft Brewers Cup.
