The legend of Bonnie and Clyde has been told many times since they actually committed their crimes all across Texas in the early 1930s. One piece of history is well known in Winnsboro, TX; the Train Depot and the Rock Gas Station were key, during their two year crime spree. Legend has it that Bonnie and Clyde last filled their Ford V-8 Deluxe with gas at the station before heading to Bienville Parish, Louisiana, where they were killed on May 23, 1934.

This big, roasty, Imperial Stout is a commemoration to the history of Winnsboro's lore and rich history. Our stout has a pleasant malt flavor that eases into a rich caramel and toffee notes middle. This is an intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming bitter coffee finish with just a hint of dark chocolate. Read Less

In Cribbage, the combination of cards, whose rank value of a card or combination of cards, totals eleven.


Such a combination of three cards (if leading) or two cards (if defending a lead) is valued because it scores a 31-2 against ten-cards.


We have crafted this version to be reminiscent of a style that was originally developed by medieval monks who served beer on special occasions. Our version of the Belgian Tripel emits notes of a floral bouquet, fresh bread, with hints at spices and malt. It is lightly hopped with notes of grains, fruit and spice, followed by a clean, dry finish. A nice balance of sugar, acidity, bitterness, spices and alcohol rounds out the finish. Read Less

In Cribbage, face cards are worth 10 points and paired with a 5 card the player receives two points. If you have two face cards or two 5 cards, the term "15 for 4" is the correct method for expressing the next point count.

Inspired by the Trappist brewers of Belgium, a Quadrupel is a Belgian-style ale of great strength with even bolder flavor compared to its sister styles Dubbel and Tripel. Caramel, dark sugar and malty sweet flavors dominate, with medium-low to medium-high hop bitterness. Our Quadruple has a relatively light body compared to its alcoholic strength, it is a full bodied beer with a rich, malty palate and spicy phenols. Sweet on the palate with a low bitterness yet well perceived alcohol on the finish. Read Less

The flower changes color with the passing of time, the 'brim' becoming flecked with red. Read Less

East Texas is an amazing place with a rich heritage and eclectic history. One such place is the town of 'Possum Walk. The story goes that Rev. Robert E. Day, one of the many pastors who had served the Union Hill church, was conducting a service when a possum came walking in through the open front doors, walked down the aisle and out the back door of the church without breaking stride.

Another story is that a country doctor, while traveling on horseback through the community, encountered a possum stopped in front of him in the road. “Walk, Possum,” he reportedly said.

Either way, our Possum Walk hazy IPA bursts with juicy hops up front, lingering tropical fruits and pineapple, mildly sweet, hazy orange coloring with a hint of creamy coconut butter on the finish. Come experience your own Possum Walk and enjoy what East Texas has to offer. Read Less
