I was able to visit with Head brewer Jacob and owner Bill at Pecan Point Brewing today. Pecan Point got its name from the historical geographical spot nearby on the Red River that was a trading post and settlement. It's been open 2 years and is in downtown Texarkana, Texas. The food there is what everyone raves about but their beers are right there in line with the food. The beers I was able to try were the State Street blonde, La Harpe Pale Ale, Pecan Point Ale (English Brown ale) and my favorite, the Iron Mountain IPA. The Iron Mountain IPA had tropical, fruity notes to it with the IBUs at the end. They are currently only working on a 1 barrel system now but plan to expand their process in the near future. They are registered as a Brewpub so they are able to fill your growler on the spot too. When I was there, there was barely an empty seat there so it has become a popular spot for the local community in Texarkana. Thank you to Bill and Jacob for the hospitality. And if you're heading out I-30 this way, Pecan Point Is definitely worth your stop! Cheers!
