Since our first issue in April 2011, <strong>Austin</strong>’s beer scene has changed (it seems to change<br />
and grow each month). One of those changes: Twisted X. Started by Jim Sampson and Shane<br />
Bordeau in Cedar Park, they are one of three breweries that has opened since then. They held<br />
their initial release party on Cinco de Mayo, where they introduced beer fans to the Fuego<br />
Jalapeño Infused Tex Mex Pilsner, Twisted X Premium Tex Mex Lager and the then unnamed<br />
Premium Tex Mex Dark Lager. The dark lager has now been blessed with the moniker: <strong>Co</strong>w<br />
Creek. Also be on the look out for Siesta, a prickly pear lager. It is a summer seasonal that<br />
proved to be quite popular and could still pop up around town. With a Tex-Mex theme they are<br />
bound to quench the thirsts of a large swath of <strong>Austin</strong> beer drinkers. <strong>Austin</strong>ites love Tex-Mex.<br />
<strong>Austin</strong>ites love beer. Tex-Mex beer? Forget about it, a match made in heaven. <strong>Co</strong>uld a pico-degallo<br />
beer be in the works? Let’s hope so. Mole Porter—that’s the ticket!
