The seven-hour drive ended up taking about 9. I'm pretty sure that we stopped at about every exit that had a gas station. Plus, we decided to make a pit stop by Subway which happened to be in a Wal-Mart. I DO NOT advise anyone to ever stop at Wal-Mart mid car trip. We finally escaped an hour later with three bags of car food (of course). It was well worth the tacked on hour because we also escaped that town loaded down with Strawberry Abita. I kept trying to make excuses to have a reason to pop one open but that doesn't seem to work out for the best when your in a car minus a bottle opener.
AO took us to some amazing places while we were there including an all day Beer-A-Thon. But, the top of my list was Anvil. (don't judge them by their lackluster website, it is a snazzy place) My, oh my, those folks know how to mix a drink. Please, if you are ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop. I'm pretty sure they may specialize in birthing alcoholics. It's that good. And my favorite part, their attention to detail. They take their time making sure that your drink is made precisely the way it should be and serve it up in precious glasses. Don't worry, they have "man" glasses too. Beibs made sure not to order any drinks that came in champagne a/k/a "girl glasses".
Running a close second (and by close, they may as well be conjoined twins) would have to be Kung Fu Saloon. They have all of the best arcade games from our childhoods and they are all FREE! I learned a lot about Beibs at that place. He apparently knows all the of the secret moves to Mortal Kombat, makes animals run out in front of your car in Rush and can land skee-balls in back to back 100's effortlessly. Looks like he earned those gamer thumbs as a child.
I'm almost positive that those two boys are secret soulmates. Besstt fraannnsss!
