Speaking of Austin beer, do you guys remember Pierre Celis, the famed Belgian brewer who popularized the “wit” style and then started Celis brewery in Austin and was cranking out some great, unique “White” beers back in the day?
I wondered what became of him and just googled to see that the brewery floundered after being purchased by Miller in 1995 and was shuttered in 2000. It was a shorter run than I remembered before they were purchased by Miller, but we were crazy about his beers for a time.
Then Pierre died in 2011 and his daughter resurrected it in 2017, with the original yeast strain, and then declared bankruptcy in 2019 for being over-leveraged, but remains open.
I would be curious to taste it again.
