The Bar
Brew Exchange. 706 W 6th St, Austin, TX 78701
Visited 1/23/17 @ 10pm.
The Drink
Ommegang Rosetta. $6.50.
An excellent not-too-sweet and not-too-sour cherry sour from Ommegang, which is possibly the only other attraction in Cooperstown, NY besides the obvious. 5.6% ABV and extremely drinkable, although I wouldn't want to see what kind of hangover a few of these would produce.
The Crew
Travis, Rome, Aaron.
Notes
As you might expect by the fifth stop of the night, my usual keen eye for detail began to wander somewhat. However, Brew Exchange has a funny concept - a market-based system where popular beers get more expensive and less-popular beers become cheaper, which you can track thanks to the giant ticker and TV screens around the interior - that makes it more memorable than some other bars. It's also owned by the same Redrum Bar LLC which owns Green Light, among others, and as it happens we ran into one of the Green Light bartenders after his shift had ended and we tried out some of the orangey shots they offered. Making friends pays off!
And since it was not exactly packed at 10pm on a Monday, we were able to get some good face time with our bartender in. We spent some time discussing my favorite quasi-scientific work, The Origin of Consciousness In the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, which has been used in the show Westworld, and just hang out in that fun, boozy, late-night kind of way. West Sixth has actually been great so far.
