Well Buna, This Will Make the Southern Baptists and Pentecostals and AofG and Other Mad...But

 I keep hearing all about how much the new barbecue restaurant has spent for the grand opening, which I understand is next week.....

Trouble is, in Pct. 4 of Jasper County, you can only sell beer for off premises  consumption. 

I was in the Hill Country the past week and in the German counties, not only was beer available to drink in the restaurants, so were mixed drinks. 

And I know there are only a couple 2-3-4  restaurants at this point who would be interested in selling beer/wine in their establishments. 

There is one I know that would love to offer margaritas to the customers. But, let's do one step forwards.  

Now, it might be nice to have a nice cold draft beer before you have a 3 meat BBQ plate. ( Trouble is, too many people think a nice cold on tap draft would be a Coors Light or a Miller Lite, which, in my opinion is close to drinking a pint of bug piss.) 

A nice local Texas brew or even a small step up to a Shiner Bock on tap would be nice...and I know they sell beer for consumption in at least one restaurant in Mauriceville, and we've not had Armageddon, it's not become skid row....and I know there are restaurants who serve adult beverages in Jasper. 

There is going to be petition once the new place opens in an attempt to sell beer/wine at Buna restaurants and I encourage you to at least put it to a vote. 

I know there are religious people who are afraid if it is voted on, it will pass, and if it does.....Well, isn't that how it is supposed to work? Let the voters decide? 

Not going to lie, when coming home down Hwy 96, I look forward to veering off a little and getting a little BBQ for supper.
