Rick Perry's beer of choice is Shiner Bock. He said so in a near-20-minute interview with Politico on Monday.

Perry also discussed his workout regimen. "Three-to-four miles. If I can get it four times a week, I'm happy. If I get more than that, I'm ecstatic. If I get less than that, I'm not as happy. My goal is to run anywhere between three and four miles a day and preferably four times a week," he said.

When asked if he carries a gun, he said there's a "reason they call it a concealed handgun license."

As for his taste in music, he's a fan of The Who.
