ssweeney's Review of Beer Barn and BBQ

Main Fare:

• Brisket is rendered and moist... but still tough on the chew.  Is this an issue with reheating?
• Rib is big and meaty.  Tasty.  Light coating of rub is salty & spicy.
• Sausage is another with the homeade bologna or salami flavor profile with black pepper.
• Jalapeno Cheese sausage is quite chewy. 

Other Fare:

• Baked potato casserole uses pit smoked taters and adds butter, garlic salt, and black pepper.  Hot, rich, and good.
• Potato salad is a creamy, mayo-based type with egg and a touch of dill.  Very nicely done.

Atmosphere:

• Before arrival, this seemed like the perfect concept: BBQ + Beer.  Unfortunately, we are surrounded by malty beverages, but cannot consume them on premise.  A good bet that they do mostly carry-out business!
• One table inside with a couple of chairs and some coolers for seating. 
• Husband (and pit boss) is not here today, but his wife is running the counter at the Beer Barn - with the help from her toddler daughter.  Another friendly lady (from California) is running the barbecue window. 
• They ask how on earth we found them in Austonio, TX... the web is a wonderful resource!
