I remember back in the day, Brad calling every other week asking what I needed and would load up his pickup and drive up for delivery. I saw him recently and he laughed about brewing all day into the night, sleeping a few hours on the malt bags, then hitting the road at sunup to get all of us in DFW his beer.
Great guys.

The photos give a decent view, but their new brewery is beautiful as is the tap room. They continue to grow and each time I have visited, select employees were sampling what I believe were variations on their beers for analysis, criticism and deciding what if any changes to make. That and Tim showing the crew I was with other plans for expansion.

I remember how it was a major point of pride for places in Austin to have Fireman’s #4 way back when.

Yes, Tim brewed legendary beers there. Brian Peters (Now with ABGB) did as well and my long time beer compatriot Doug brewed there also.

Yeah, Bitter End and Waterloo were the 1 & 2 stops in Austin back in the day. It’s amazing how much downtown Austin has changed since then.
