Good Neighbor Brews in Wylie, TX

I enjoyed my recent visit to Good Neighbor Brews in Wylie. They have a fun tap room and nice patio with games to play outside. They're currently running on a 10 barrel system. My favorite beer I had when I was there was their watermelon cucumber ale - "3 day weekend". They have sodas there for the kids and the staff and owners were really friendly and easy to talk to. I definitely recommend visiting if you haven't been.  Cheers

Fredonia brewery - great beer in Texas' oldest town

I recently got to visit with Paul and Vince at Fredonia Brewing in Nacogdoches, TX. They have a great location right in the heart of downtown Nacogdoches. These guys have been home brewers for a long time and finally decided to open their own brewery. What was so interesting about this brewery, is that when you walk in, there are close to 2,500 empty old beer cans that are on display from breweries from across the USA. It is really like a museum right when you walk in. They have a great open outdoor patio for everyone to enjoy the great outdoor weather and a cold beer. I was really impressed with their beer as well. The six beers I was able to try were The 9 Flags Amber ale, the Banita Blonde Ale, the D'oches Kolsch, the Angry Axe IPA, the Pine Cove Porter, and the Bull Pine Pale Ale. All of these beers were great. My favorite was the Bull Pine Pale Ale. The day I was there, there were just getting there canning line going. They hope to be canning soon and be in stores across Texas eventually. I really appreciate the hospitality shown by Vance and Paul. If you're ever down in Nacogdoches, this is definitely a great place to check out. Cheers!!
