The 2015 Great American Beer Festival begins in less than a month, so it's a good time to take a look at the Texas breweries that will be attending this year.
Last year there was 47 Texas breweries with booths on the festival floor which was the largest turnout ever. It's down slightly to 45 this year, but that probably has more to do with the space limitations in the convention hall and how the booth space is assigned due to the record number of craft breweries now operating. According to the GABF website, the following breweries will be representing Texas this year:

This is another great turnout from Texas and includes quite a few new breweries.
Hopefully this will result in another great medal showing after Texas breweries took home 16 medals last year and 10 the previous year.
Good luck to all the breweries who have beer entered in the competition this year and I look forward to sampling your beers on the convention floor.
