I agree with you that Real Ale is likely to get distributed out of state soon, and I think Rahr & Sons will also. Both make some very good beer.
Good call on Rahr & Sons... I could see them crossing state lines soon.
We get more of the limited Saint Arnold stuff, but only Lawnmower out of the year-round releases which is odd.
I just see most of the breweries like Jester King, (512), Ranger Creek, Karbach, No Label, Buffalo Bayou, Independence, Live Oak, and a few others having a lot more expanding to do within Texas before they consider other states.

I think that Texas, especially if the lawmakers are willing to work with brewers like they did wine makers, will explode with new brewers in the next 5 years. There is no reason that Texas couldn't have just as many great breeweries as California, Colorado, or the lake states
Totally agree. Every time I look it seems like there are new ones popping up already. Houston has gone from Saint Arnold to having Karbach (I pronounce is Car-Bosh and I believe that's correct... I even did their tasting/tour last weekend but not sure I heard them pronounce it!) No Label, and Buffalo Bayou within a year.

no doubt, but their expansion will be fast, I think. I'm not sure what Karbach and No Label tours are like, but there were 200+ (easily) at Southern Star last Saturday, and tours at Saint Arnold are a madhouse. The support is there, and growing. People cannot get enough of the "standard" releases, and look the hell out when a single batch release hits the shelves.
(personal note: seriously, Saint Arnold, your "we can only make a limited supply, better hurry and get some" marketing tactic is bullshite. You have the room, you charge a lot for them, make more beer)
My cousin in San Diego is working on getting all of his brewing automated, and the setup he has will alow him to use make adjustments for batch sizes. He has mentioned several times that he'd like to start up a nano, but San Diego is a tough spot for it. I've been pushing him to consider Austin, and he loves it out there already. Once the legislative restrictions are removed, particularly allowing breweries to sell directly to consumers, the sky is the limit for Texas breweries.
