A side comment on that - I find that good brew pubs also have good bread, and ordering food that comes with the on-premises-made bread is A Good Idea. A place I go to makes a great little corn bread to go with their mussels, for instance. Great for sopping up the mussel broth.
The brewers know grains and yeast, which helps their bread making, and vice versa, or something.
Yes, actually, it does. Geo. Washington not only brewed beer, but had a distillery and bakery.
Father of the country, in deed.
And he used corn for beer sometimes. His favorite recipe was a molasses based beverage.
Just sad that he caved on the whiskey rebellion.
