Hill Country part II

Alrighty...
As Aramis posted up top, this was completely the highlight of the weekend.
Hill Country is brilliant in so many ways.

Even before talking about the beef brisket, the drinks have to be documented.
It's not cool enough that they serve a ton of Boylan's Soda, they also import Mexican Coca-Cola.
It completely tastes better because it's sweetened with real cane sugar and not the High Fructose Corn Syrup which is in every sweetened American product these days.
**Conspiracy**
[The US (yah, that's right, the whole country) switched to HFCS in the 80's to cut costs...]
In addition, the Texas Iced Tea was spectacular as well.
The sweetness and slight minty flavor of the tea really compliments smokey, fatty bbq.
Was this "new world dim sum"?
And finally, I'm going to leave the Lonestar Beer alone and not pick on it.
Let's just put it this way, some things are just better untouched.

Now, onto the Meats and Sides.
The Moist Beef Brisket was somewhat of a religious experience for me.I took one bite and knew something fantastic just happened to Aramis and I.
The meat was so tender, beefy, and had the perfect amount of smoke.
I mean it was PERFECT. You really can't ask for a better cooked bbq brisket.
The rest of the items were generally very good.

Note worthies :
The Corn Pudding and the Kreuz Sausages.
