eer is getting more respect. The popularity of craft and specialty beer, as
well as independent and home brewers, has taken hold in El Paso, and consumers are literally drinking it up with
enthusiasm.
More and more national and regional
breweries taking their products to El Paso,
with more area establishments specializing
in the craft beer scene.
Add this to no less than three new local
breweries getting ready to open their doors
in the city, and El Paso is gaining an
increasing esteemed reputation among the
craft beer community.
El Paso has become the primo post for
Texas craft beers, said Adrian Perez, who
serves as craft beer manager and specialist
for L&F Distributors, and shares his
knowledge and enthusiasm for the beverage via his Facebook page, El Paso Beer
Snob. The Go Local feel is strong.
Texas has the highest increase of breweries
in the nation, and have made El Paso their
new home.
Craft beers are defined by the Brewers
Association as beers made by small, independent breweries using traditional techniques, although sometimes combined with
innovative variations.
Perez said the top request from local consumers is for regional brews.
Without the Texas beers taking off, this
would be a dead duck, he said. It also
helps the local independent entrepreneurs
as they mix their own local flavors with
local regional brews.
With El Pasos unique border location,
regional not only includes brewers from
Texas but also from New Mexico.
Silas Sims, a sales representative for
Santa Fe Brewing Company, said Santa Fe
loves El Paso customers, who have been
one of their best distribution destinations.
Overall, El Pasos been a ripe market for
craft beer, Sims said. I really love it
down here. The people here have been
ready for this.
One of El Pasoans favorite regional beer
choices is Freestyle Pilsner, a seasonal
brew from Santa Fe Brewing Company,
