Sockdolager Brewing in Abilene

This place is so perfect for a fun night out!! There is something for everyone.  The beer is good, they have food, cornhole, a beautiful outdoor patio it's dog friendly and tiny human friendly if that's your thing.  I highly recommend it.  The prickly pear pale ale was my favorite!

A great place with an interesting story behind it. Decor is exquisite and the beers are outstanding. A must visit for sure if you enjoy microbreweries. They also serve wine. I did not get to try the food since they don't serve food on Sundays.

This is the 135th brewery I've visited! I pulled up to Sockdolager Brewing right at 5pm on a Friday afternoon, and was the first one in the door. A few more people walked in shortly after. The brewery has a good size tasting area with about 18 tables plus bar space. There is also a roped off sitting area outside. The place looks like it could get cracking as the night goes on. I counted 13 beers on tap, plus a hard seltzer. The young lady at the bar set me up with a small taste of the seltzer when I mentioned I wasn't into them normally. This one was pretty darn good and was flavored with lime and cucumber. Ok, but real beers. I did two flights of four. Yeah, I'm an overachiever like that. Sockdolager American Lager is very light in color as expected. Light and easy drinking with a little bit of corn flavor to it. Big Country Common ale is a really nice beer. This was lighter in hops than a California common but seemed a little more than your typical bitter. Nice caramel flavor. SWPFTD would enjoy this one. The 45 Miles East Uh Here IPL has an aroma I just couldn't quite place. This was frustrating because I know what it is but can't name it. Sorry, my memory is going... Anyway, this had decent hop flavor and a clean fi...
