The Texas State Fair has the semi-official slogan of the “Fried Food Capital of Texas” and this year they’ve introduced Deep Fried Beer.  It’s essentially a pocket of pretzel dough filled with the good stuff.  Who would have thought that you would ever need to show your ID to purchase fair food??

Other Texas State Fair food faves include the Deep Fried Latte, Texas Fried Cookie Dough, Fried Coke, and last year’s Most Creative winner: Deep Fried Butter.

There’s even more deep-fried treats to read about here.
