Our time here in San Antonio started with Dave doing some research in order to report back to his Winnipeg beer club about the brews of Texas.
One of our last days here he ended up doing another research stint when we discovered of all things a cinema that served as a brewery as well.
Dave checking out the beer on tap- see the brewery bins up high above the signs displaying the brews on offer
Flix Brew Houses can be found in ten different locations in the United States. They brew beer on site, serve food made from scratch, and you can enjoy both while watching a film. The Flix Brew House we were at in San Antonio had ten different beers on tap and a sign proudly announced that they were members of the Texas Craft Brewery Guild.
Besides that they offered very comfy chairs that recline and tables for eating. We shared a beer- just for research purposes of course.
The movie we were seeing at the Flix Brewhouse was called Ordinary Angels. It stars Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson.
It is a true story about a woman who becomes convinced she has been especially chosen to help a young girl she doesn't even know get a liver transplant and find a way for her family to pay their soaring medical bills.
Alan Ritchson plays true life Dad Ed Schmitt and Emily Mitchell plays his daughter Michelle Schmitt who needs a liver transplant
It's a heart warming movie set in the state of Kentucky but guess where it was filmed?
In Winnipeg!
As Dave and I were watching we tried to figure out where in Winnipeg or the neighbouring community of Selkirk the different scenes were filmed.
The Winnipeg connection will add interest to Dave's report when he meets again with his beer club at the beginning of March.
