Soulful blues from the Eastside Kings Festival with some clickity clack of the typewriter social, old school Nintendo, cicadas and cheers…. Open House Austin threw quite the porch hang.

People often ask if I get tired of what I’m doing? While the life of a founder is challenging, and there is always another hill to climb and problem to overcome. That is also what makes it rewarding.

I will never get tired of seeing my b**r on the shelf and working with exceptional partners like Whole Foods. Thank you for taking a chance on me years ago and for continuing to champion local makers.

You see the words “hottest” and “coolest” together and think of Schlitterbahn.

Your turn!

Because people can do good things when they come together! We’re heading to the legendary Gruene Hall today to celebrate the 4th of July and raise funds for the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. If you can’t make it in person, but want to be there in spirit, please make a donation or bid on the completed flag and Native Texan neon sing. Link in comments. gruenehall

We brewed many batches of Native Texan and Stash IPA on this tank…which seems fitting, don’t you think? Thanks Willie!

Our 21st year brining b**r to Eeyore’s Birthday! A true Austin tradition. All volunteer, fundraising, community, weirdness…we love it!

Every  #420 there’s that one guy who turns drinking IPA into a TED talk. Dude, relax and drink a Stash. 🍻
