Garrett Marrero never set out to build the biggest brewery in Hawaii, but that’s what he did. Maui Brewing Company, the 10-year-old Hawaii-based craft brewery, is the state’s largest. Its production surpasses other Hawaiian brewers four-fold and could push 40,000 barrels by the end of 2015. How? Well, its recently completed 50-barrel brew house, brewpub and…
It goes without saying that we’re always excited for new releases and chasing down elusive new creations. And when such occasions occur, we want to make sure all Beerknurds know.

Texas craft beer has had a lot to celebrate recently: a win at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival, rising sales and the introduction of Texas Senate Bill 1386, which would grant Texas craft brewery visitors the ability to take home craft beer purchased at Texas craft breweries.

Now imagine if that thing in your fridge expired almost two centuries ago. Would you still drink it then? Not even the sniff test could justify that, right? Especially if…
It’s been more than 20 years in the making, but Avery Brewing Company has a new home.

The $30 million Avery Brewing facility is capable of churning out…
In 1997, less than a year after its ribbon-cutting ceremony, Stone Brewing Co. made a promise to its supporters: “To our fans who go to these fine places and drink our beer, we pledge to never let you down.” Next year, as Stone celebrates its 20th anniversary with an expansion into Europe, that promise is…
Put away your tulip glasses and mustaches, because craft beer is dead. At least that’s what Thrillist writer Joe Keohane would have us believe. In a recently posted article, he suggests that the resurgence of Gose—an ancient German ale—signals that the craft beer revolution that began in the ’80s is out of ideas. Gose is…
