Photo Essay: Texas Craft Brewers Mini-Festival at Black Star Pub and Brewery Co-op

The Free Beer Movement had the privilege to check out the Texas Craft Brewers Mini-Festival this weekend. The event was held during the grand opening weekend of the Black Star Pub and Brewery Cooperative in Austin, Texas. A dozen local breweries were on hand including some established names and few very exciting upstarts in the Austin-area craft brewing business.
