This year's pub crawl includes these fabulous destinations:
1. Zuckerman's Beer Emporium and Museum- We return to last year's favorite destination, at which we heard quotes like "Wow, this is awesome. My wife would never let me do this with our house." There's a pretty good chance that there may be some special Freetail beers and homebrews available at this stop.
2. Pizza Italia- The Italians aren't known for their beers, but this restaurant proves that mozzarella and a fantastic selection of malt beverages are a great combination. Now hopefully it won't burn down again like last year so we'll get to go!
3. The Tap Exchange- A new place on San Antonio's far north side that's got a nice selection of beers and food (just in case you didn't eat at Pizza Italia)
4. PediCab Bar/La Tuna- These two funky places are a stone's throw from the Blue Star have much better beer selections than you'd ever expect from places that look like they do. If it's a nice day, the outside areas under big pecan trees are great places to enjoy a beer.
