TAKES BRONZE

AT TEXAS CRAFT BREWERS CUP!

We are so proud to announce that your very own local brewery was recognized in the Barleywine and Strong Ales category at the 2024 Texas Craft Brewers Cup for our Old Empresarios, an English Style Barleywine named after the Empresarios of East Texas (Stephen F. Austin and Haden Edwards to name a few well-known men) that helped bring people to Texas before we were Texas. This brew has been a passion project of Paul’s (really all of us at the brewery) for a very long time & we are beyond stoked that it got recognized at the state level! We pride ourselves in creating beer that symbolizes the fierce independent spirit that created Texas!

“I am beyond happy, and incredibly proud of our team that developed, brewed, cellared, and packaged this beer. I could not stand with a better team of people. I think Old Empresarios came out so well and is exactly what we all shot for. This is for AK ( Auntie Kathleen) and the team at Fredonia Brewery!,” said Paul Murray, our head brewer and co-owner here at Fredonia!

We still have a few boxes of Old Empresarios left in the taproom! Come try this amazing award-winning beer on tap and grab a bottle or three to take home with you!

We pride ourselves in the conception & creation of unique craft beer that is constantly changing and evolving. We do our best to maintain our yield of year round beers while adding in those special seasonal & limited time small batch offerings.
