It's salty. It's alcoholic. That's right, it's, now famous, FRIED BEER!

You knew you were ready for it. Though it didn't win "Best Taste" at the Big Tex Choice Awards (Fried Frito Pie did...mmm...fried chili), it took home the "Most Creative" fried fair. The good thing: the fried delicacies of the Big Tex Choice Awards, including Fried Chocolate and Fried Margaritas, are not a fleeting thing. They'll all be at the State Fair come this fall.

So in celebration of our love of friedness--we created a slideshow to preview the upcoming crusty goods. Jump over to slideshows to check out Sara Kerens delicious photos of Fried Beer and Fried Pop Tarts and such. Also, after the jump, we have some teasers for those who just can't wait.
