The In Wheel Time crew continues our journey with the Hot Rod Tour of Texas, rolling into the Spoetzl Brewery - home of Shiner Beer! Located just on the edge of the town of Shiner, the brewery opened the gates to the property for the entire parage of cars on the Hot Rod Tour of Texas. There are places for visitors to sit and enjoy the scenic setting as well as lunch, but with the larger than normal crowd arriving at the same time, additional tents were setup. The hospitality was great, the weather cooperated and the Hot Rod Tour of Texas rolls on!
