New Art In The Tap Room

Thanks to Amanda Willshire for this awesome bottlecap artwork! She handcrafted these pieces for our Tap Room and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Next time you’re in the TR, come say hi to the whole gang.

Also, check out what Westword had to say about Amanda’s stellar work!

An Ode to Chocolate Yeti A peek from the clouds, that break we call spring, When dew seems to sit, awaiting on gossamer string, In our hearts we all know, it can mean but one thing. A Yeti, so smooth, from its cave does appear, A fearsome loud roar, in our ears we do hear, Not a bear, but a different brute soon is quite near. It’s chocolate and sultry with a cayenne pop, In the hierarchy of beasts, it reigns at the top, This Yeti is special; a delicious brew that is ready to drop. Get your buns to the Tap Room, or any fair bar, Because this Yeti’s elusive, it’ll soon be afar. You’ll be pleased with this Yeti—we know we are!

An Ode to Chocolate Yeti


A peek from the clouds, that break we call spring,

When dew seems to sit, awaiting on gossamer string,

In our hearts we all know, it can mean but one thing.

A Yeti, so smooth, from its cave does appear,

A fearsome loud roar, in our ears we do hear,

Not a bear, but a different brute soon is quite near.

It’s chocolate and sultry with a cayenne pop,

In the hierarchy of beasts, it reigns at the top,

This Yeti is special; a delicious brew that is ready to drop.

Get your buns to the Tap Room, or any fair bar,

Because this Yeti’s elusive, it’ll soon be afar.

You’ll be pleased with this Yeti—we know we are!

They’re Baaaaack It’s that time again, when warming temperatures and longer days beckon us to cast off the shroud of winter and get outside. It also means that three of our most-coveted seasonals return: Colette, Chocolate Oak Aged and 18th Anniversary. All three seasonals will return April 1st and each offer something delightful and different. Colette, our farmhouse ale, is a GABF silver medal winner and crowd favorite. It’s light, dry notes pair perfectly with the setting sun. Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti is one iteration of our fearsome Yeti Imperial Stout. It’s brewed with cocoa nibs and cayenne pepper to give it a little extra something. 18th Anniversary Ale is our perennial celebration of doin’ business. This wood-aged Double IPA is a real palate-pleaser. See you soon for a pour!

Big Ups to All Y’all Thanks to everyone who made our trip to SXSW so special. It was great to spend time with the boys from Untappd, the gracious and attentive staff at Ginger Man, the friendly barkeeps at Easy Tiger, the hilarious and welcoming Mel and Flash from TapHunter (plus, Peg!), uber-smart Terry from Antler and the firecracker of the group, @SchneiderMike. We also had the pleasure of visiting Independence Brewing, Live Oak and Hops and Grain. Thanks to all these awesome brewers for showing us some serious hospitality. Plus, big gracias to Chris Spradley, now at Rahr and Sons for being a livesaver in the pouring rain! Plus, Tony Drewry is hilarious. We had a great time, in large part due to the friendly, helpful and hilarious people we met throughout the weekend. Cheers, Texas!
