Most of it...Killeans Irish Red....and I had it in a glass too.........so it was pretty much a flood. I unplugged everything fairly quick, flipped the laptop over on a towel until is seemed pretty dry and then layed it up on its side and let a fan blow on it all night.

I pretty much figured I was screwed.....but much to my amazement, it started for me this morning.

Luckily......I had four more beers in the fridge. But never again will I set a glass down on the left side of this desk. Gonna use a little night stand from now on.

This thread has now officially been highjacked.

Leinenkugel's Red (from Wisconsin) is tastier than Killians. Don't know if it's available near you, but I know that Leinie's is being distributed more widely than before.

Hey, now, I like Killean's Irish Red

If I cannot pronounce it......it is unlikely that I can get it close by in either the rural areas of the Tx, or Fl gulf coast. Maybe in Tempe.......but I won't be back there until August......

There is a Specks (sp) liquor warehouse about 40 miles away that I can probably get anything.....

My computer is crashing again.....I will have to finish this in the am.

Nah, Coors screwed it up..

Sorry I misrepresented you on this........my bad.......

Coors became legally available in my part of Tx in the Sping of 1976.......me and some friends bought a case (maybe two) and went the Brazoria County Fair and Rodeo......two of them threw up in the back of my car on the way home.......I have tried to stay away from Coors ever since........

There is a bar in Galveston that my middle daughter and I went to a few months ago that has close to 300 beers on their menu...........I think I will have to go back there with her often and try and sample some more of them.

My youngest is a bartender/hostess at a local Mexican restaurant.....but they don't have a huge selection......I guess I will just have to get out more.

A mexican restaurant in Texas? Isn't that sort of redundant?

I'll stick with my Shiner, thank you very much.

Bock, I take it.......very good beer! And.....we do have Chinese and Italian also..........

A buddy from HS had a grandmother that lived in Yokum (just down the road from Shiner). He went to college in Victoria and I in Austin........several semesters I did not have Friday classes and we would sometimes meet up at his grandmothers farm and make the 13 mile trip to the Shiner Brewery...........

Back then, their hospitality room was unlimited. You could sit and drink all day long.......they even had several domino tables where to local retired folk would come and play and take advantage of the free beer. The hospitality room closed for an hour at lunch so the seventy something year old server could take his lunch.

Also, for some reason, you could not get Shiner in Austin back then.......you had to drive down to at least either Smithville or La Grange. On any trip that way, I always had to pick up a case of Bock for one of my classmates and he always gave me a few extra bucks for my trouble.

Looking back.......I am amazed I survived those years.............
