I have to admit, downtown is doing well and I was surprised and even somewhat impressed with Joe's. Â
There were a variety of beers there, even Maredsous on tap. Â Kudos, Joe's!
The barkeeps were really friendly and knowledgeable about the beers they had. Â
Joe even had some brews of his own. Â I look forward to coming back and trying a few with friends in the future.
It's sad that Ben E Keith won't work out some sort of deal with Austin Breweries so that they are able to carry 512 (Pecan Porter... yummmmm) and other amazing local breweries. Â
All in all, I found a cool spot to hang out in Angelo that's totally unpretentious, not too loud and full of really nice folks to sit and sip a beer with.
