http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/0/d/2/event_12728402.jpeg

Join me for my yearly soul cleansing pilgrimage to the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX. (Where all the magic happens!)

I've been doing this on my birthday week ever since I started motorcycle riding. Pretty much highway riding with a bit of back roads (sometimes behind some big rigs &/or scary farm equipment of sorts).

I ask those who do join us, be VERY comfortable with highway speeds and congestion. This is March, weather is very iffy, be prepared.

We meet at 8:30am to grab some breakfast at Taco Cabana on 1604/Nacogdoches Rd. KSU at 9:30am. Stop at the famous Buccees for a bio/fuel stop. Continue to Shiner.

Nothing fancy, ride out to Shiner, TX to enjoy a tour of the brewery (Named Top 5 Craft Breweries in the Nation!!!), snap some photos of the city, possibly stop by the exclusive Howard's in Shiner for a full size glass of your favorite Shiner beer and talk to the locals.

This is Spring Break for a lot of folks so please feel free to take your cage, meet us en route, at the brewery and/or leave when you have to.

More details as we get closer.

PROSIT!
