The production of craft beer and the amount of craft breweries has seen a large increase in the United States over the last ten years. Although Texas was a little late to the party, the state is making up for lost time, with the number of active craft breweries nearly doubling in a span of three years.
Jackson Wisdorf set off to Big Bend Brewing Company in Alpine, to speak with brewery manager Henryk Orlik about the emergence of craft beer in far west Texas. Then had a chat with Josh Cockrell, label artist and "Creative Czar" of the Jester King Brewery in Austin, about the relationship between beer and the label that goes along with it.
