![]() My first entry is a place I'm very familiar with: Grain and Grit. The story of this place is one I love: A couple who dreamed of starting their own business (the husband being a home brewer) just decided to go for it! They took over an old garage, cleaned it up and made it ready for the brewery, and away they went. Grain and Grit is has a small tap room/bottle shop that offers pints and flights as well as chips. There are a number of board games available to play while enjoying a pint. Every Saturday in the summer they host a community market with vendors who sell food and handmade goods. They have hosted a euchre league and they frequently have bands come to play. My visit today was just to pick up some beer to enjoy at home and some glassware. The glassware I got seemed like a cross between a thistle glass and a goblet, very cool. Today I picked up 3 beers. The first is called "Quenched". This is a dry raddler. I found it to have a lot of citrus and be very sour, probably from the cranberries. The next beer I had was "Nearly Noble Lagered Ale". An easy drinking German style pilsner. I enjoyed this outside as it was hot and it was refreshing! Last beer for today was "Chasing Summer" This is a tart ale thanks to the use of raspberries. Raspberries are some of my favorite fruits, so you can guess how I felt about this one. To wrap up my first entry, I want to advise something. I have no intentions of rating any breweries as I do this. I just want to share where I've been and hopefully help get the word out about these breweries. Also, I'll remember to take pictures next time. Sorry!
