With all of the local breweries we've seen open in Houston alone, and with recent legislative changes, it's not too surprising to learn what a boon craft beer has been to the state's economy. "A new study released by the Brewers Association shows that Texas' craft beer industry contributed more than $2.3 billion to the state's economy in 2012. As a result, Texas outperformed 48 other states last year in terms of the economic impact from brewing and selling of craft beers." [HBJ]
