Preferably real beer you can find in Europe and the white NW and NE states, not Budweiser type stuff.

To me the best tasting beer in Houston is the Fancy Lawnmower Beer. It is a world class brew.
Typically, you find (St. Arnold) beer on the shelves that is one to three weeks old.
One can visit Houston's microbrewery, Saint Arnold Brewing Company. They have public tours every Saturday at 1:00 P.M. The cost for the tour is US $5.00. No reservations are required, there is a beer tasting after each tour, and all paid attendees receive a souvenir tasting glass. Saint Arnold Brewing Company

Yeah man, what's with the hyphenated stuff. As far as I am concerned, the only real Americans are people born in this country to US citizens or legal residents. Dude entirely missed White Americans and Black Americans, which surprisingly are not protesting.

I left California trying to get away from them. Perhaps the locals can convince them to ruin Austin instead and delay the decays of Houston and San Antonio.

Hmm, to be honest I'm not particularly fond of any St. Arnolds brews. I don't know what it is, just something about each style made me think I wasted my money. However, their Elissa IPA is decent, but I can easily find some NorCal & Oregon style IPA's that are much, much better than Elissa. Oh well.

I've also got enough of them,
I've watched about a million movies from Hollywood, 90210, Baywatch, Jay Leno.

Not much to learn from them.

There is a lot of Irish ethnics(continuing on the topic) who drink beer in Houston.
Saint Arnold has its only microbrewery here in Houston (they don't sell outside of Texas to maintain the brew's freshness). The beer on the shelves are only one to three weeks old! The beer coming from out of state has to endure all kinds of temperature changes due to the transportation haul and probably has more preservatives.

The largest ethnic groups in Houston are Hispanics (Mexicans, Salvadorians, Guatamalans, Puerto Ricans, & Cubans) Asians (Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Filipino, & East Indians) Blacks (African, Nigerian, Jamaican)

Yes, Houston has two Chinatowns, the old abandoned one on the east side of downtown & the newer suburban style Chinatown in far Southwest Houston on Bellaire which is growing like crazy. There is also a small Koreantown on Gessner & Longpoint in the Spring Branch area of West Houston.

I do know that the Columbian population is starting to explode in Houston. A very fast growing community.
