The wife and I are going to wander toward Granbury tomorrow, take in the Revolver Brewing tour and see what else there is to see in the area.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Try the Blood & Honey? :P Oh wait, that wasn't the suggestion you were asking for.

Oh, I will be trying that, and every other one I can get as part of our included tasting. My wife isn't a beer drinker, but has agreed to at least try after my many exhortations about how she shouldn't judge beer based upon the one Budweiser she tried many years ago.

The old downtown has a lot of antique stores and a cool courthouse. I think they have some places to eat as well. If I remember correctly, one of the antique stores has a fair collection of old guns, swords, and knives for sale. I don't know enough about the prices for such things to comment on them. Fun to look at, though.

Babe's is a good place to eat. There are also several others Haufbrau is on 377. There is an ice cream shop, cafes, etc on the square.

I believe you will be going through Acton to get to the brewery. Stop at the cemetery and pay respect to Davy Crockett's family. Oh, and Jesse James is buried in the Granbury cemetery.

Isn't Billy The Kid and John Wilkes Booth buried there also?

Your wife might change her mind about beer after drinking Blood & Honey.

No, but Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack the Ripper are.

Also, I believe that Bond Arms is local to Granbury, and there used to be an antique store right on the square that was also an FFL and had a whole bunch of Bond Arms derringers for sale in the store. I seem to remember the owner claiming that he was their biggest stocking dealer, or something like that.

Rumor has it the grassy knoll gunman is also there.

I do see that Bond Arms is in Granbury. I'm sure we'll be visiting every antique store that appears in our path.

You will be there a while. Ask me how I know.

I know, but that's okay. I indulge her antique shops, she indulges my firearm shops.

Life has to have balance. Plus a brewery tour, gives her a little extra leeway.
Have fun, I always enjoy Granbury. If I somehow win the lottery, it will be where I retire.
