Today’s photo comes from the 4th of July. The previously mentioned goats are on the far right of today’s photo as is Grizzly Peak, although from a different angle than we are used to in Ashland.
Beef Brisket Full Order with sides of Mac N Cheese and Potato Salad – $20
With the closure of Roscoe’s BBQ in Phoenix early last year, a void was left between Medford and Yreka for a BBQ joint. I thought someone would fill that niche quickly, but it took more than a year. Last week Home State BBQ & Beer opened on the corner of Gresham and East Main in the old Evo’s location.
We gave it a try this past Sunday. The mist maker on the patio was a nice touch given the heat. The inside was full, and the patio wouldn’t have been very hospitable (even in the shade) without the moisture. Another lovely feature was the cold, wet napkins.
Six beers were on tap and more were in bottles in the fridge. Sandwiches (pulled pork, chicken, or brisket) were $9, but we opted to split a full order of the brisket so that we could try out some sides too. The brisket was very good–not the best BBQ I’ve ever had but not average enough to keep me from wanting to return. The sides were OK at best. The mac and cheese could have been Annie’s for all I know. I won’t be ordering it again. The potato salad wasn’t nearly as good as Sammich’s.
I’ll probably try a sandwich next time. Next time I have sides I will go for something different, maybe the Butcher’s Green Chili or just a Green Salad. You can see the full menu here.
Natalia Dominguez, “Queen of Guanajuato”, @ Ashland’s 4th of July Parade 2014
In one month I will be in Guanajuato. I won’t be there for very long, just 10 nights or so. If you want to follow along with those adventures, I’ll be posting photos here.
Today’s photo is from last week’s parade.

Nubian goats
We were invited to a friend’s farm in nearby Talent for a BBQ on the 4th of July. While there we met their goats, the friendliest goats I have encountered.
