During travels in Washington and Oregon were many great breweries. Those damn aging hippies know how to make a good brew. I do not like their politics but I do like their beer. Oddly the best brew I sampled was up in Alberta. It was an IPA made with rye. It was outstanding.
Here in Central Texas in Salado, we have Barrows Brewery. They make an IPA that would be very acceptable in any English Pub. “Evil Catfish” is their premier IPA. It is very good. The brewery is located in an old tin gin. It was perfect for setting up all their brewing equipment. The local supermarkets even carry their beer. Good beer sells!
I’ll look for that here in north Texas. My only regrets about moving to Texas was moving away from so many world class breweries in SoCal. We have a new Brewery in Allen called Armor Brewing, and so far, I think their beer is comparable to north San Diego County.
