Cranky Britches didn’t show, though. And per usual, somebody wanted to start some rumors.
Back when the rumors first surfaced about Texian, Dawn at Hop Stop referred to us as the TMZ of Houston Beer. We took that as a huge compliment and have continued to try and run with it.
The only thing more annoying than beer snobs are rumors, and we’d be more than happy to fill that role for The Duchess of Dank again putting a halt to the rumor mill. (We consider beer snobs to be people that shun others based on what they drink which isn’t productive to anybody in the craft community and only serves to elevate the ego of the snob.)
That said, Cranky Britches Closing is all rumor.
As soon as we saw the comment on Houston Craft Beer Society, we gave Bill Arning a call. He’s the owner of Cranky Britches Brewing. The Houston Craft Beer Society FB group has always been a pretty cool place full of pretty cool people, and we’re glad to contribute there whenever we have the time, but the post in question does more harm than good to a small brewery.
Bill had this to say, “We are restructuring, and have to shut down for a few weeks.”
He went on to say more news would be published soon, so be on the lookout for an official announcement.
Anthony's a Houston native, a Creative Strategist at https://ledgeloungers.com/, an adjunct instructor of Visual Communication at Lone Star College, and a UH Coog that loves good beer almost as much as he does his city. Anthony lives to help others and that's found a home helping some of the coolest breweries on earth with creative and marketing projects that can be seen on our Portfolio page. Fueled by hoppy lagers, sessionable IPAs, and gangster rap, he's ticked his way through H-Town, rocking the most unusual Nikes he can find. When he's not writing for us, he's with his family or very patiently rooting for the Rockets.

Didn’t this guy just agree to join TBR as Brewmaster? I guess sometimes where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
