Ok. I’m officially going on record as saying that I am absolutely pissed at the changes to The Tap Exchange Alehouse and Grill here in San Antonio. Beer snob am I? Heck yeah! If you call having actual taste in something that has more variety than even wine, then yes, I am. What’s happening to ‘Jimmie’s’ place is a travesty. So much for craft beer in Texas. Without places like the ORIGINAL Tap Exchange, Freetail Brewing, Real Ale and the like, we’d have nothing here at all. Jimmie’s place was a slice of heaven in Texas for craft beer bars. If the new management keeps this new direction, then the Tap Exchange will be ust another bar you can see anywhere…
Texas will never be what the rest of the country is at this rate if places like Jimmie’s continue to be taken over by clueless owners and management that have no interest in anything but tacky karaoke nights and cheep fizzy yellow beer.
More thoughts to come…I’ll also be re-posting an article on The Tap Exchange I wrote for UpTake.com recently about Jimmie’s place before new ownership and management came in…
