It looks like De Garde/Jester King’s collaboration Elements of Composition finally has label approval. You may notice the black square and a couple of words censored. Those are the Jester King logo and Jester King’s name….thanks to obscure TABC rules, Jester King cannot be listed on the label.

More labels for you to enjoy. Looks like we are starting to see Abyss variants showing up in bottles…which is always nice. We have a first can from Texas Beer Company (in Taylor) as well. And, what appears to be a 6L bottle of a Wild Ale from Lakewood Brewing Company. If you wanted a breakdown by numbers of what happened at GABF for Texas (and how we did against other states), I wrote a […]
The largest beer festival in the US, the Great American Beer Festival, has passed once again. For those who have never been, it has turned into a week long party for craft brewers and fans in Denver that ended Saturday. While most articles locally will talk about how Texas did, I decided to take a deeper look into the numbers of all of this. This year, there were 2 new categories to bring the total […]

Well, I missed another week. Not due to laziness this time, but just due to there only being 30 or so last week…and felt it would be better just to leave them for another week. With that said, we seem to have been overloaded with keg approvals from brewpubs this week. Braindead, St. Elmo, El Paso Brewing, along with a couple of newer places like Flying Man. We are also seeing the first can approvals […]

Here is a quick Hops & Grain update: Hops and Grain Brewing is currently in the works to get their license switched over from a brewery license over to a brewpub license. The main advantage for them is that they will be able to sell beer to go. They will also be able to avoid the current taproom barrel limits over multiple locations. Since H&G founder, Josh Hare, also has an ownership stake in Kerrville’s […]
