Default Out of homebrew... thirsty...

All I've got left to drink is some "meh" vanilla oatmeal stout, it really doesn't sound all that good right now when its 100 degrees out. I normally wouldn't let this happen but I moved across the country so my brewing schedule is all out of wack.
I've got another 2-3 days before I can bottle my pale ale, so with bottle conditioning I'll be out for another 1.5 weeks at LEAST!

I just wanted to share my pain...

also, any suggestions about what to buy to tide me over? I'm in Dallas TX and I'm out of money because I spent my extra cash on a new carboy/hydrometer/thermometer that broke during the move.
I'm even tempted to buy Shiner Bock

Shiner Bock isn't a bad beer. Not in my opinion anyways.

Shiner is good, true, not my favorite and I also get a lot of crap from my friends when I buy it. BUT on the plus side, it IS the only beer my GF drinks (other than the Belgin Whit i made). So it does have that going for it.

It sounds like an emergency....

If funds are truly short and you have no way of enjoying some HB, then I won't tell anybody........

Go buy a zillion-pack of PBR for 2 bucks or whatever it is selling at these days! In these circumstances, I am sure the snobs can look the other way.

As far as good Texas beer goes. I love everything that St. Arnolds makes. You should check them out.

Lone Star beer. About as cheap as PBR and you can save the bottles for homebrew!

I second Lone Star, but everywhere I buy it in the Dallas area it is as expensive as Shiner or St. Arnold.

Where do you find cheap Lone Star other than San Antonio?

I won't look the other way if you give me one, or a Genne Cream Ale is good and cheap also

I wish I could find Shiner Bock up north here, SWMBO loved it when she tried it, I'll keep looking at the local six pack places!
