Some mostly good news for road warriors.

Unlike my last journey across America's bread basket, there is now an abundance of small, family owned craft breweries sprinkled throughout the hinterlands. That's the good news. The not so good news is that the plague has severely restricted their access and in some cases precipitated their demise. My heart was lifted when I found one open near the end of the day's travels. The "Lost Way Brewery" in Holdrege Nebraska seemed to be a fitting destination. The owners were authentic, engaging, and had come from the Bay City area of Michigan. They offered to open the brewery for me "any time of the day I was passing through" which I hope to take advantage of someday. For now, a couple of cold ones and some outstanding B-B-Q from the food truck parked outside. Cheers.
