Howard's in Shiner


We actually heard about Howard's from some random people in Houston.  When they heard we were from Weimar they started raving about Howard's.  Howard’s looks like a convenience store/gas station, but step inside to find a  place filled with Shiner memorabilia, several beers on tap (including lots of Shiner beer varieties), snacks (we were feasting on salt and vinegar chips), T-shirts, and Blue Bell ice cream. 


We opted to sit out  in the covered beer garden. There was a wood stove burning so it was actually comfortable even on a chilly January afternoon.  We were there early but did notice signs inviting everyone to come out and dance to live music by the  "Los Kolaches".  We ran into folks we had met in other places, so we really enjoyed our time at Howard's.  The beer was cold and only $1.75 for a 16 oz. cup.  What a bargain.  We could have stayed longer but still had a few more stops to make on the Joy Ride.
