The odometer was at 352miles we picked up our car. Leaving Austin, the reading was 656. We reset to zero and headed south.
Oh, wait, "Let's go to Shiner. We can make the 11:00am brewery tour." 
Texas' oldest independent brewery (since 1909) has seen tremendous growth since it was bought be Carlos Alvarez in the late 1980's. Still privately owned, every bit of Shiner beer is brewed right in Shiner, Texas by 115 employees. Justin quite liked the Holiday Cheer offering that had hints of pecan and preach.
Next stop: City Market in Luling, Texas for BBQ lunch. Touted to be a "classic, no-frills BBQ joint" this was simply the best BBQ I've ever eaten. You enter into the actual pit room to place your order for meat and then find your way to a table. Beans, potato salad etc can be claimed from the counter in the center. "Finger licking good" has nothing at all to do with fried chicken. I wanted to eat more since it was so, so good but I was just too full.
