Black Friday is not something that we view as a good thing. It typically represents relatively sane individuals losing their minds and fighting each other to buy consumer goods that they really don’t need. Between people getting trampled to save $200 on a television to people getting into fist fights over the hot product of the year to buy for their three-year-old, it seems like it epitomizes everything that’s wrong with our country.
The good thing is I don’t need to rant about problems on this page, I can just talk about the new reality of the kind of Black Friday that I like: beer specials. Several breweries and taprooms are going to be open and if you are looking for a place to be to avoid the crowds at the local shopping malls, then check these options out. Just know that I’m not going to list your normal huge Texas breweries, I want folks to check out the other breweries available in the area.
