What do I drink when I'm out? Whatever I want.
Boots may be optional at Hills and Dales, but cowboys, bikers and beer aficionados can all drink comfortably here. The sign above the roadhouse declares it is the "Center of the Universe." A stand-up bar with 50 taps behind it is at one end, pool tables and a small stage are at the other. Beer neons are everywhere. Coolers holding 400 to 500 different beers dominate the wall opposite the entrance. The house rule is that customers grab what they want from the cooler, then pay at the bar.
If you go there, make sure to have 'em pull you a glass of Live Oak hefeweisen if it's in season.
I grab and go. I never drink if I've got to drive home.
