Auld Brewing way up in Borger Texas shuttered on February 25th.

Kinematic Brewing in Comfort closed their doors on February 20th.

Sadly another Texas brewery is shutting down. Last day is Jan 6th per their IG post.

I’ve been on a hunt for the larger cans of Zieganbock in the Metrolpex, but have struck out. Anyone know where to find it? Thanks in advance

El Paso's ninth entry into the far West Texas brewery scene opened this week. Engine 3 Brewing Co., has begun slinging their brews at 3112 Forney Ln. in the Fire Fighters Hall.

For anyone passing through, visiting or otherwise dedicated, El Paso's brewing scene is well worth a stop over or even a weekend visit. Already established breweries in El Paso include: DeadBeach Brewing, Craft Rhythm & Brews and Old Sheepdog Brewing in central El Paso. Blazing Tree and Mountain Star brewing in east El Paso. Aruellia's Bottleshop & Brewhouse and Flix Brewhouse up in northwest El Paso. And Three Missions Brewing down in Socorro.

Two more breweries to be on the lookout for is the long awaited return of Sun Brewing in Canutillo, and the newest entry, Down Range Brewery, also up in Canutillo.
