The number of breweries out there is pretty amazing. Lot of small towns across the country have them. Many of them are really good. A couple weeks ago, I drove to Mansfield for dinner with a buddy and we took in a few beers at Phoenix Brewing there. Mansfield is probably most known for the old prison that has become a tourist site. The brewery, Phoenix Brewing, is located right in downtown Mansfield. A really nice looking downtown. Straight out a small town downtown movie set. Now, the beer at Phoenix Brewing was pretty good (I enjoyed the sour: Project HG). The most interesting thing though was that they don’t accept tips. They said they raised the prices of the beer to pay staff more but the beer seemed pretty cheap to me. Must have been giving it away before. Interesting concept. Anyways, I would definitely go back to Mansfield to see the downtown more, check out some other places and grab some more beers.
