For beer connoisseurs, there's no better place to taste, toast and toss back a few brews than the Flying Saucer. With hundreds of beers available and more than enough incentive to drink all of them, you'll find yourself coming back not for the cheap, fried food and not the attractive, ever-inebriated barflies, but for the challenge. Those who can earn it - and yes, they earn it by drinking at least 200 different beers - are honored by all who enter with plates bearing their names fastened up high on the walls. While the Saucer is a chain, it feels more homegrown than that.

It's the end of the weekend, the super-long shitty weekend of all weekends. I find myself at the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium (705 Main). My very own personal safe haven, my home away from home, if you will. Cheers has nothing on the Saucer. Eve... More >
Draught Dodger

Earlier this month, Houston was supposed to be treated to a little nubbin of Baja Oklahoma taste, sophistication and glamour, something sorely needed in our sultry, sweaty, sodden, sinful port city on the Mexican Gulf. Shannon Wynne, the Dallasite... More >
