GABF Award Winning The Covey in Fort Worth Closes its Doors

While scanning through Twitter early this morning for any interesting updates, I noticed this rather surprising announcement from @TheCoveyBrew:

Yes, The Covey closed tonight. Bittersweet. The most beautiful thing of it all: my true friends remain.

WTF? I just watched them win yet another medal at the GABF last week.  According to their updated website, Jamie Fulton, the owner and Brewmaster of The Covey, is moving on to a new project called Farmers & Brewers in Washington D.C. Its great that he's got something else to go on to, but it means Texas has lost a second brewpub in only a week.
