Biographical / Historical

Southwest Brewing News is one of a family of papers which included Northwest Brewing News, Rocky Mountain Brewing News, and Southern Brew News. Six issues were printed a year and covered stories from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. The publication began in 1993 when the craftbrewing scene in Texas took off and it continued for nearly thirty years. It relied on contributing writers and editors from all of the states it represented. The end of Southwest Brewing News came in 2019 when one of the publishers was disgraced for a misogynistic article written for another publication and ad revenues fell sharply.
