Beer Across Texas
A Guide to the Brews and Brewmasters of the Lone Star State

Beer Across Texas guides you to nearly three dozen breweries, microbreweries and brewpubs throughout the Lone Star State, from El Paso to Houston, from Lubbock to South Padre Island. You’ll meet brewers, discover how they’ve succeeded, get the identities of their top labels and find out what to look for when you go. You’ll also learn how to identify the distinctive tastes of the five basic styles of lagers and the seventeen major styles of ales.

This unique book comes in the wake of the craft beer revolution, as, according to a recent Gallup poll, beer has overtaken wine as Americans’ drink of choice. Breweries are grouped by region and city.


Co-authors are Travis E.Poling, a long-timeTexas journalist and business writer whose Brew Notes column appears in the San Antonio Express-News, and Paul E. Hightower, a Fort Worth-based technical writer who is also a homebrewer and a taster certified through the Beer Judge Certification Program.
