Raise a glass and toast the 75th anniversary of the day that Texas ratified the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution repealing Prohibition. Although the national repeal of Prohibition did not become final until December 5, 1933, the beer industry salutes Texas on November 24th for bringing us one step closer to our frothy freedom. The repeal of Prohibition came at the height of the Great Depression -- a time when the nation definitely needed a drink. According to the beer industry, the

Sutter Home Winery is a reasonably credible wine maker. Sure, to some people they may be one step up from Two Buck Chuck, but you have to think the wine makers at Sutter Home retain some shred of pride and dignity.Or not.
January 30, 2009WTF Island: Jackson Five, Kid Rock, Glenn Danzig, Rock Camp and Assteroids
Even as our economy continued to go up in flames like the Toyota Center, the carnival of WTF kept trolling along this week. It seemed that every day we saw something so asinine and foolish that we couldn't keep up. Jackson Family slavery museums, rock and roll fantasy camps, Kid Rock's new beer, "Assteriods" with Diamond Dave, and Glenn Danzig's new dating show kept WTF Island at full capacity. We found out this week that the Jackson Five's Marlon Jackson, brother of Michael, is helping to fin

If there's one thing that comes to mind when I'm craving a cold beer, it's a greasy, stringy, overrated singer from Detroit with a penchant for wifebeaters, sloppy seconds and further denegrating popular music. The Michigan Brewing Company apparently feels the same way, as they've just invested $7 million in creating a new line of beer inspired by Kid Rock. Yes, Kid Rock. No, I didn't know that he drank beer, either; I pegged him as more of a Colt .45 man myself.

Photo by NoiseCollusionThe people who are trying to sell hard liquor to hard Texans are upset.They're petitioning the legislature, hoping to push Senate Bill 1216 (sponsored by Houston's Rodney Ellis), which would allow liquor-store owners to have more than five stores.Right now, the only people who can own more than a handful of stores are those who were grandfathered in way, way back in the day. Like 1949."These archaic ownership restrictions limit small business growth by allowing only certai

March 2, 2000Texas Traveler: Bluebonnet Wine Trail
While in Navasota lovin' on some alpacas, Texas Traveler had a hankerin' thirst. So we got on our trusty iPhone and found the closest winery, a funky l'il shack called the Purple Possum Winery. While in the air-conditioned comfort of the Purple Possum's tasting room, we met a lovely couple we'd seen earlier that day at a local diner. "Are you on the Wine Trail too?" they asked us. The Texas Highway 105 corridor might not be as well-know for it's vineyards as, say, Napa Valley, but there are a
May 25, 2009Upcoming Events
Whether your beverage of choice is wine, coffee or beer, we've got you covered in this week's upcoming events. The French Open takes place this weekend, and if you're looking for a spot to watch, then Coffee Groundz is the place for you.

Befitting the French theme, all wine is $1 off each glass or 30 percent off each bottle, all French press coffee is $5, an

But now there's a least one: The Southern Star Brewing Company. Southern Star celebrated their one-year anniversary this spring with the release of their second canned beer, Bombshell Blonde.

Photo by Katharine ShilcuttWhile in Chinatown browsing the aisles at Hong Kong City Mall's grocery store, Hong Kong Market, last weekend, I ran across something interesting among the hundreds of bottles of sake: Japanese Chardonnay and Merlot, made by Chateau Mercian. It's highly possible that I'm the last person on earth to know that Japan produces wines other than the traditional rice wine, but everyone I've talked to has seemed equally clueless. Wanting to try a bottle of Japanese

​Joe Lopez says he used to have an inferiority complex. That's hard to believe when you consider that the now outspoken San Antonio-based artist took on the Gallo wine company -- and won! Gallo in English is a family surname. Gallo is Spanish means rooster. Lopez found the rooster image a strong cultural symbol. His painting Puro Gallo, a slang term meaning pure blood Mexican, led to a legal fight with the Ernest and Julio Gallo Winery. Lopez, who will be appearing at Casa Ramirez on Saturda
July 31, 2009Obscure Wine Grapes: Huxelrebe
Photo by Robb WalshInstead of combining grape juices to make a blend, German viticulturalist Georg Scheu crossed two popular varietals to make a new grape. Huxelrebe is a cross between sweet and aromatic Muscat and the austere Swiss wine grape, Chasselas. Invented in 1927, Huxelrebe was named after the late viticulturalist Fritz Huxel, who won a variety of prizes for his Huxelrebe wines. Thanks to its hearty Chasselas genes, the grape is fast-maturing and produces Auslese (late-harvest
