Weekday dinner here, served by Brittany- she was on point all night…read more We enjoyed all of our beverages and food. Their Rhinestone Blonde beer was well balanced and my wife enjoyed her gin-based drink "The Smash" and her dessert cocktail "Cafe' Noire." Food wise, the queso and chips were above average and a large portion. Fish and chips were tasty- be sure to ask for extra house-made tartar sauce. Their house-made balsamic vinegar dressing was fire. We finished up with the uber-rich 7-Layer Paradise dessert. Worth a stop.

We ordered two of the Zero One (SPICY sopressata and basil with honey on foccacia) and one Steuben (Reuben sandwich with corned beef cooked in stout). Food was amazing and ample portions. The atmosphere is of a tavern / pub. Concrete floors. Great wait staff. We loved the experience.

Chill out on the nice big couches or outside in the open air, meet your friends for beers and games or chat away over a Elysian Fields cool one. A real open atmosphere and DOG FRIENDLY!!! Whoohooo! Sorry, love my dog...cough cough. I enjoyed myself and it's brother approved! Military are more than welcome here, weary travelers wet your whistle and enjoy the downtown atmosphere, a nice place to be and great beers!

We had such a fun time, there are some games, snacks, and fun brew flavors. My fave was the pickled beet sour. There was a pretty good turn out for the Thursday night trivia game. Very relaxed atmosphere, had some bags and giant Jenga outside and a fire pit. Definitely recommend this.

This place is a no brainer. A small brewery in a backyard, with a very well done taproom (small but…read morevery cool). Parking in the back, with Cornhole, washers, and a fire pit. This place is simple and amazing. Usually about 8 beers on tap, a few small bar food items (flatbreads, popcorn, etc). The beers are delicious and the owner is usually hanging around. Trivia is also available on Thursdays at 6pm which is a really good time. Recommend...all the beers! Literally haven't had a bad one here and I've tried a fair amount. Great place to go for a post dinner beer, or on a nice night to sit outside.

So, I have already had one review here. After being in Abilene for about 6 months, and coming to…read moreGrain Theory (almost daily) during that time, I finally tried the Brewhouse Burger. OMG, as an "Old Fay Guy" who has had more than his fair share of burgers, this is by far one of, if not the best, burger I have ever had. Shout out to Chef Rob and the kitchen staff. This burger will stand up (surpass) a burger from anyplace around.

I will forever be amazed by cool places, especially when they appear in unexpected cities like…read moreAbilene. Located on the second story of a beautiful building in downtown Abilene sits Grain Theory, a brewpub and coffee shop towering over the city. It is a mixed indoor-outdoor space with plenty of shaded outdoor and cooled indoor seating. Looking at their tap list, my girlfriend and I were impressed by their unique beers to try. I started with the Strawberry Peach Tonic (Fruited Hard Seltzer) and she had a Bella Rose (Rosé IPA). Both were served in cool glasses, with mine being tall and skinny and hers being almost like a wine glass. Shocking to nobody, mine was quite fruity while her Rosé IPA was hoppy with an underlying rosé flavor. Next, I ordered their Oktoberfest (German Märzen) and she had their Season's End (Belgian Dubbel). She described her drink as tasting like a Biscoff cookie. My Oktoberfest was quite malty, and I was a big fan. To close, we both ordered their Luscent (Belgian Table Beer) because small beers are back in fashion and I wanted to try it. It was obviously very light but still had a good flavor that was very bready. Nice and easy to close out our drinks with. They also have food and coffee that we didn't try, but the food looked sensational from what we saw others eating. They also have plenty of board games and card games to play while you're at the brewery and many beers available to take to-go. My only minor complaint is the lack of TVs in the brewery. Maybe it's a purposeful decision, but Texas Tech was playing football, and it would be a great place to watch the game. The bartenders are very friendly and willing to let you try and sample as many beers as you need to make your decision. Grain Theory feels like the kind of place every small Texas city wishes it had. I am very excited to come back here and try more beers, especially with how excellent the space is. RIYL: Cool-shaped beer glasses or a rooftop bar

This is a place that appears to have a lot of regulars. Staff knew most of them by name. They are pet friendly with an outdoor seating area, which unfortunately was very wet from the recent rain that day. Plenty of parking available in their own lot. Inside seating is plentiful and the ambiance is what you would expect for a tap room. Would recommend you give them a try.
