This week in Behind the Story we talk about local microbreweries. In July KWBU aired a story about the gradual return of local craft beer to the Heart of Texas. In 2012, the microbrewery industry represented an economic impact of $2.3 billion in the state. Here in town Bare Arms Brewery is contributing to that growth and in the coming months Brotherwell Brewing will join them.
After the story, you'll hear more from the two breweries. We talk a bit about what it takes to get started in the industry, the type of beer they plan on brewing and if microbreweries are finally here to stay in the Heart of Texas. This story originally aired July 6, 2015.
