Brian "The Beerman" Houser

"Like I always say, an airplane don't fly without any fuel." Back in 1989, a very young Brian Houser was just getting started on his illustrious music career, playing in some of the finest establishments in Denton, Texas and the surrounding areas, places like Rhino's and Cozy Oaks. Trying to get gigs when you're the new kid in town means sometimes playing for yourself and drinking alone as it takes a while to build up a following. Getting tired of this lonely existence, Brian decided to take matters into his own hands.

So, every gig, to keep those brave few around who walked actually walked into the bar and sat down, Brian would buy each table a pitcher of beer. One beer led to another and slowly but surely a core group of Beerheads was formed and the Beerman legend began.

Word spread quickly and before long, the gigs started filling up and a strange phenomenon begin to take place the crowd started buying "The Beerman" a cold beer to show their appreciation, There were so many beers bought for The Beerman that the clubs had to start using buckets just to hold these ice cold tokens of affection. Bucket led to another and another and the three bucket night became the norm.
