Review of Eccentric Brewing Company by TexasRealFood
Eccentric Brewing Company got its start after winning a $72,000 grant. Awarded by the Midland Entrepreneurial Challenge, its owners Jamie Ehl and Aaron Pachlhofer soon began local operations in May 2018. The brewery is credited to be the first craft beer brewed in Midland. The brewery's creations are now available in about 14 locations around Midland, but the pair is still finding their footing in the Texas’ craft beer industry. With twelve craft beer creations so far, they have yet to establish their own taproom.
The brewery started distributing their beers on July 20, 2018 at Midland Beer Garden, whose owner also helped clinch the grant for them. They describe their first brew, Eccentric No. 1, as “a bold, amber ale (showcasing) the classic flavors that have made Belgian beers famous”. Eccentric #2, meanwhile, is “a Belgian pale ale that begins with aromas of tropical fruit”.
