Ok foodies,
It's not the 318 but if you find yourself near Abilene, TX you MUST stop in Grain Theory ! These local folks created the best stop in Abilene for a variety of their mastercrafted beers, great food and great coffee. This brewery is coming into two years in operation, braving through all the challenges of COVID and coming out a huge success. Of course I had to try as many of their beers as I could. Here's what I tried:
If you're looking for an IPA, try the Alter-Ego. it was a tasty, hoppy, 7.3% IPA with tangerine, lemon zest and pine
If you'd rather a stout, you MUST try the MAGNA LUNA! Imperial Oatmeal Stout that was chocolaty, toffee heaven with a touch of coffee.
If you'd rather a pilsner, their classic Old Gold will hit the spot!
Their chefs come up with some amazing specials. The special I had was the Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla. grilled and crisp jalapeño cheese tortilla filled with peri peri chicken, crumbled bacon, purple haze ranch slaw and melty oaxacan cheese served with a their signature side salad!
All in all, the food was a 10, the beer selection was a 10, service was a 12 (is that a thing?) and a 10 for atmosphere. Go check them out on Facebook and Give them a like!
