The Beer Issue Welcome to what is quickly becoming an annual fall tradition: our Beer Issue. Inside you’ll find frothy stories about suds from all kinds of angles, especially local, and why the hell not. Fort Worth and the rest of Tarrant County are overflowing with not only craft breweries

but lots of brewpubs and collaborations between the breweries and local restaurants and even condiment queens.

For a while there back during the Atkins diet craze, lots of folks thought beer was going the way of cigarettes.

Pfft! The average human’s appetite for delicious carbs

Branching Out Fort Worth’s next brewery aims to make the Foundry District a craft beer destination.

Allyssa and Stuart Maples: “That shelf space [in retail stores] is getting more crowded. We’re trying to plan ahead for when it gets tighter.”

B R O W N

If there ever were easy years for Fort Worth’s breweries, those days are gone.

Rahr & Sons founder Fritz Rahr had the then-difficult job of explaining how smallbatch beers were better in quality than corporate brews to restaurant owners 14 years ago. Now, Fort Worthians more or less get it, and the market for local grows tighter with each passing year.

Stuart and Allyssa Maples are joining the party, anyway. The founding couple behind Maple Branch Craft Brewery recently sat down for a chat at their brewpub/biergarten that’s slated to open in the Foundry District this spring. The young TCU grads said there’s still plenty of room for growth for brewpubs that cater to specific neighborhoods and districts.

The trick, they said, is for those businesses to focus on what craft beer breweries have always been best at — being community gathering spots for locals of all ages to get together and unwind over a pint of locally made ale.

“There’s still a big market for local beer,” Stuart said. “This will be a place where you can bring your kids and sit here all day. We think Texas is still further behind” the country in terms of craft beer breweries per state resident.

Texans drink a lot of beer, but the Lone Star State still ranks near the bottom (46th) in breweries per capita, according to the national trade group Brewers Association.

“We want people to be able to disconnect and leave whatever is going

outside and have a good time,” Allyssa said.

Maple Branch promises to have something for everyone. The indoor space will seat around 150, they said, while the outdoor biergarten will hold up to 200 folks. Outdoor seating, games, a stage for live music, a fire pit, a shade tree, and a water fountain will make the sprawling outdoor patio a popular destination for families. The rotating selection of beers will be chosen, in part, by patrons. Stuart said visitors will be able to vote on their favorite beer by dropping a special chip into large jars that are labeled with potential new releases. There will also be a special Mug Club that offers specials and the opportunity to vote on unique beer releases each month. Stuart and Allyssa opted for a brewpub license so they can please the masses with offerings of wine, cider, and hard seltzer as well as beer.

Stuart said the brewery’s modest-sized five-barrel brewing system will allow the brewpub to “pivot” toward a wide variety of beer styles. By releasing 10-keg batches in the taproom, there will also be a level of scarcity that will encourage beer fans to try popular brews before they run out. As far as the beer options, Stuart and Allyssa plan to keep 24 beers on tap that include seasonals, true-to-style favorites, and quirky oneoffs. Stuart, who is a certified beer judge, has brewed every beer in the Beer Judge Certification Program. He thinks locals will dig his award-winning Czech premium

lager and Russian Imperial Stout. Pumpkin beers, hazy IPAs, spiced beers — everything is on the table, he said.

“We will find a balance between what’s trending and what’s good,” Allyssa said.

“We want it to be high-quality beer.”

Stuart and Allyssa are optimistic about their chances of keeping construction on time and on budget. Stuart brings a background in finance and real estate to the venture while Allyssa has a degree in marketing. They’ve zealously crunched numbers and run predictions to ensure that construction ends with a large grand opening party late next spring. When they do open, they will be joining a crowded but rich field of local breweries and brewpubs.

The duo doesn’t see hotspots like Martin House Brewing Company and HopFusion Aleworks as competition. After a spotty past, Fort Worth’s brew scene is filling in to meet the communal needs of Fort Worth’s residents.

There was a blitz early on, Stuart said, referring to the long honeymoons that Fort Worth’s first breweries enjoyed. There will be cycles of decline and regrowth, he added.

“That’s what converting people to craft beer is all about,” he said. “That shelf space [in retail stores] is getting more crowded. We’re trying to plan ahead for when it gets tighter. This will be a place to come get a fresh beer and hang out. If you live nearby, why wouldn’t you come to us?” l

surprisingly high, though, when I tried Martin House’s new Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer. I never thought that getting drunk on pickle juice would be a thing, but like the hoards of pickle beer fanatics who devoured every last drop within a week of the ale’s release, I was sold. I just couldn’t stomach a second pint. I mean, it is pickle juice.

Rabbit Hole Brewing Company Closes Justin-based Rabbit Hole Brewing Company had a good run. That’s not to say that every brewer that closes after five years feels good about it. I’m simply pointing out that the brewery made some amazing beers and memories in that span of time. The customer service at their taproom events was always great, and Mystic Rapture will always be my all-time favorite brown ale.

And I generally dislike brown ales. The folks who ran that brewery worked magic day in and day out to bring joy to folks in Justin and across the region, and we can only thank them for the great beer and memories they made along the way.

As 2019 comes to a close, Fort Worthians can look forward to two brewery openings early next year. Second Rodeo Brewing Co. is slated to open as part of the new Stockyards development sometime

this spring. The venture is headed by restaurateur Jason Boso and head brewer Justin Meyers, who currently heads By the Horns Brewing in Mansfield.

Construction is underway at Maple Branch Craft Brewery (see: their full profile in this issue) in the Foundry District. Fort Worth’s breweries and many of our stalwart pubs are largely in the hands of local owners, meaning whatever surprises are in store for our beer scene next year will be uniquely Fort Worth experiences. l

As the old adage goes, if you can’t outpredatory price them, join ’em. Texas’ craft breweries took a pragmatic approach to lobbying this year — and won. The Texas-based political action committee was recently founded by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, which represents independent breweries across the Lone Star State. The PAC supported beer togo and continues to champion legislation that “expands the rights of Texas craft brewers” and fight against “any proposed legislation that seeks to further limit the rights of craft brewers.”

I can’t talk about the new TABC guidelines that allow breweries to sell beer to-go without mentioning how ridiculous it was that Texas didn’t allow breweries to sell beer to-go in the first place. It’s a testament to the power of alcohol distribution lobbies that breweries have been painted as a threat to our revered three-tier system of retailer, distributor, and brewer. The bill was passed by state legislators earlier this year and became active on September 1.

You may have noticed sixers of beer at Rahr & Sons or Wild Acre Brewing Company.

It’s a welcome free-market change that has been a long time coming.

The MillerCoors brewery on l-35 brews more than 9 million barrels of beer annually.

Depending on which way the wind is blowing, you can smell the suds from nearly a mile away while you’re on the highway headed into or away from Fort Worth. Hell, if the cloud ceiling is low and the wind is blowing slowly, you can damned near catch a buzz from the fumes.

Nine million barrels is a lot of beer. The plant employs more than 545 people, and the trucks are lined up to load up nearly all hours of the day and night. The brewery, which opened in 1969 and produced about 300,000 annual barrels initially, is quite a beer success in North Texas.

But the history of beer in Texas, and particularly Fort Worth, is a lot more humble than those numbers suggest. The 1850 census listed 19 brewers in Texas, but none of them appeared elsewhere, suggesting they were homebrewers, according to Clay Coppedge, a Texas journalist who writes on the topic.

“Back then,” Coppedge said, “the only thing available were ales, which were brewed warm and didn’t spoil in the Texas heat. The early brewers who wanted to make lagers, which are brewed cold, had to brew their beer in the winter and then store it in deep cellars or caves.”

Notable among them was the deep cellar cooled by a nearby water source built

by William Menger for his brewery in San

MillerCoors opened in 1969 and produced about 300,000 barrels annually. Now it pumps out more than 9 million barrels.

Antonio in 1855, above which he built the Menger Hotel four years later.

According to beer historian Brian Brown, things had changed in South Texas by the 1860s. “As the frontier opened up and people moved west, their thirst followed them,” Brown said. “You look at the port of Galveston at that time, and you see old newspaper ads for early Guinness, Bass, porters, ales, and lagers — along with whiskeys, of course. At the same time, up in Dallas there was a place that was advertising ales and porters. But there wasn’t much in Fort Worth [which was still quite small at that time] until the 1870s, other than Germans who homebrewed their lagers.”

The earliest brewery in Fort Worth was built by Nathaniel Terry, who had his slaves build it during the Civil War, Brown said, “but there is no evidence of him ever going into production, and he died right after the war.”

In 1870, Simon Meyer arrived in Fort Worth and supposedly brewed beer here, Brown said, but he moved to Dallas within a year or two and opened up Meyer’s Garden there, which included a saloon, fountains, and the first zoo in Dallas, about a decade later.

The key to brewing cold lagers was ice, and the first ice plant didn’t open in Fort Worth until 1879. Throughout the 1870s, ice was brought in from Dallas on stagecoach. During that period, two notable beers brought on those same wagons were William J. Lemp’s celebrated St. Louis Lager Beer and Anheuser’s Lager Beer, also from St. Louis.

“If you want to talk about industrial beer brewing in Fort Worth, you have to go all the way to 1891, when the Texas Brewing Company opened its doors,”

Brown said. “It was the largest brewery in the state for a while, on the site where the Intermodal Transportation Center on Jones Street now sits.”

But unlike the two largest breweries in San Antiono, the Lone Star Brewery and Pearl Brewing Company, which both opened in the 1880s and produced and advertised their brand name beers (the “lite” versions of both Lone Star and Pearl are now produced at the MillerCoors brewery on l-35), the Texas Brewing Company brewed a number of different lagers under different names, none of which wound up being remembered. “We know they were brewing lagers,” Brown said, “because they had an ice factory at the brewery, but there is no real description of the beer they sold.”

Texas Brewing Company, along with several other breweries in the state, closed in 1918, with the advent of Prohibition.

And following that, few of them managed to reopen. Most of the beer consumed in Texas was made elsewhere, except for Lone Star — which reopened as a new company after new owners acquired the Lone Star Beer copyright — Pearl, which managed to stay open during Prohibition, and Shiner Beer. That changed in 1966 when Anheuser-Busch opened its doors in Houston and the Miller Brewing Company bought the Carling Brewing Company that same year — and began brewing their own beer three years later.

Then, of course, along came the craft brewers, many of which brew in Fort Worth. “They are local breweries making their products for local people,” Coppage said. “Same as it was in the early days. And that’s how it should be. Texans are still thirsty.” l

Long Live Longnecks The distinctive bottle design that made Lone Star great is growing scarce.

Every so often, beer marketers create a campaign so unforgettable it captures the imagination of a generation. Remember the “whassuuup” Budweiser commercials?

Many Bud cans have been crumpled since that TV ad became the hit of the 2000 Super Bowl. To this day, you could walk into any crowded elevator and say, “Whassuuup,” and half the people would understand the reference. (I’m not recommending you do this. Even the half who gets it will think you’re a dipshit.)

The Most Interesting Man in the World campaign has remained so popular since its 2007 debut that Dos Equis had to replace the original actor –– similar to how TV producers for Lassie (1954-1974) had to keep trotting out younger collies.

I can testify to the power of a brilliant beer campaign. Forty years ago, Lone Star Beer came up with a blitz that continues to influence my wants and needs in good and bad ways.

Right now, it’s pissing me off.

I turned a legal drinking age in the mid-1970s. At the time, I was a longhaired music freak infatuated with the exploding Outlaw country movement led by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Jerry Jeff Walker. I noticed many of those guys drank Lone Star longnecks. They helped turn that brand of suds into the “National Beer of Texas,” as one of those early marketing campaigns declared.

What few people knew at the time was that Nelson had struck a quid-pro-quo deal

Counter-culture illustrator Jim Franklin helped make Lone Star longnecks the national beer of Texas to a generation of kids in the 1970s.

with the San Antonio-based brewer. Nelson’s road crew was drinking mass quantities of beer and running up expenses on tour, and so Lone Star would provide beer to the crew for free if Nelson and friends would be seen slurping its longnecks onstage and in photos. Nelson was too cool to do commercials, and the casual arrangement made everyone happy without the Outlaw singer having to blatantly shill a product.

Lone Star’s connection to Nelson led to numerous offshoots, each burning the infamous beer brand deeper into my essence. Radio ads featuring David Allen Coe and others preached the zen of Lone Star. Cool songs popped up, such as Red Steagall’s “Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music.” Cosmic cowboy Michael Murphey sang about “Lone Star sippin’ and skinny dippin’.” The company was a major underwriter for the early seasons of Austin City Limits, the PBS live concert show that

became beloved almost instantly. Lone Star bumper stickers with “Long Live Longnecks!” began appearing on pickup trucks statewide, including mine.

Nelson put Lone Star on my radar, but it was Jim Franklin who seared the brand into my soul. Franklin was king of the concert posters. The Austin-based illustrator created the coolest poster art around and pretty much made armadillos synonymous with Outlaw music and counter-culture lifestyles. Lone Star hired Franklin to create ad designs, and the artist cranked out some doozies. The ads would appear in music magazines, calendars, and elsewhere and did much to make Lone Star my brew of choice in those heady years.

I can still visualize one of those ads all these years later –– a giant Lone Star longneck encased inside a drilling rig with a cascade of golden beer spewing from the top like an oil gusher.

The drinking age was 18 back then, and I became a Lone Star longneck fan from Day 1. They were easy to find, inexpensive to buy, and tasted wonderful to my unsophisticated tongue. Over the years, however, my thirst and capacity for beer grew to such epic proportions that I began buying even cheaper brands, such as Pearl or Old Milwaukee. And instead of being content with six longnecks to catch a buzz, I began needing 15 to 20. Drinking longnecks at that rate meant my trashcans were heavily weighted down with loud, cumbersome, breakable bottles. I switched to cans sometime in my 20s.

Lately, I’ve weaned myself off booze.

Now, I drink on rare occasions only and never more than two or three beers in a sitting. I no longer drink to get drunk. I don’t shop for value. I don’t worry about peer pressure. I drink what I want, when I want, and that’s it. And all I want is the beer of my youth –– a Lone Star longneck in the brown bottle with the cool red-andgold label and chilled in real ice.

Lone Star longnecks make me happy and nostalgic. I love the feel of the cold, thick glass on my lips. I like the narrow circumference of the bottle and the even narrower neck to grab hold of. I love opening an ice chest and seeing nothing but the tops of a few longnecks sticking above a mound of ice, waiting to be plucked and consumed while little flecks of melting ice drift slowly down the bottle and into my hand.

Here is why I’m pissed off: It is becoming more and more difficult to find Lone Star in longnecks. About two years ago, the convenience store by my house dropped the longnecks and started selling Lone Star in cans only. I began buying the beer at my grocery store, which soon switched to cans only as well. The same thing has happened at my favorite bars, such as Lola’s Saloon and MASS. They sell Lone Star in cans only now. Any child of the 1970s can attest that drinking Lone Star from a can is downright sacrilege.

Children of the nowsies, however, seem to prefer cans, as do the craft brewers. Cans keep out sunlight, resulting in a fresher-tasting brew. Cans are easy to recycle. Cans require fewer production and packaging costs. Cans don’t break and are often allowed poolside and other places that eschew bottles.

“Cans are where it’s at,” said Brian Forella, owner of Lola’s Saloon and Lola’s Trailer Park. “It’s just easier.”

Longneck aficionados like me are beginning to resemble the Lone Star mascot –– primitive dinosaur-looking creatures who appear out of place in a modern world.

We’re not dead. Yet. l

K E N N E D Y

Beer goes back a long way. Indeed, the fermented version recognizable today is around 3,000 years old. This “liquid bread” was both sustenance and a means by which to avail oneself of safe drinking water. From the outset then, beer was food, and food was beer.

Fast-forward and head a long way west, and we find ourselves in contemporary Fort

the

Worth, a city somewhat rampant with crazy beer and food mash-ups. Most frequently, we find beer with food flavors or ingredients.

These pairings can be innocuous and harmonious, like a coffee porter, a honeyed lager, or one of the many centuries-old fruit beers. Things become a little more outré when cookies and cream find their way into a frosty adult beverage, or tomatillo and hatch chile crash a seasonal party.

On the opposite side of the equation, we all love beer cheese, right? There is something elemental about gooey cheese dip infused with flavor-enhancing ale, to which a warm pretzel (roll) serves as a perfect conduit. There are myriad uses of beer to enhance familiar foodstuffs.

One of my current favorites is the stack of caramelized onions infused with Billy Jenkins Bock from Wilde Acre Brewing Company found atop the Guajillo Burger at Fred’s Texas Café. West Magnolia Avenue mainstay Brewed twists a Southern staple, slathering biscuits with IPA sausage gravy.

Friends insist it is delicious.

There are more recent developments in the story of food loves beer and beer loves food. Out of left field, Renfro Foods gave Rahr and Sons the rose when selecting the brewery’s Texas Red American Amber beer for Renfro’s Craft Beer Salsa. Per Doug Renfro, the president of the Fort Worth salsa maker, the beer salsa has quickly risen to No. 8 of their 30 spicy sauce offerings, outselling many well-established flavors.

Doug emphasized the importance of

Mrs. Renfro’s and Rahr’s Texas Red make a harmonious pair.

teaming up with a local business that is “only a stone’s throw from our factory.”

August saw the launch of Martin House Brewing’s latest innovative beer alchemy.

Not content with simply releasing their latest leftfield seasonal beer, the Fort Worth brewmasters teamed up with pickle kings Best Maid. The result was a simultaneous release of a new beer and a new pickle product. Using fan favorite Salty Lady Gose as its base, the novel Sour Pickle Beer features triple digits-friendly Best Maid pickle juice.

It was August, hot as hell, and the rehydrating properties of pickle juice are well established. My sweaty gose-loving friends and colleagues were highly excited.

Then they tasted the beer. I have spoken with many a quaffer of local beers about this latest from Martin House, and nobody likes it.

Meanwhile, Best Maid unleashed their Craft Beer Pickle, canned just down the road from the house of Salty Lady. Per the promotional blurb, the new pickle is “modeled after the inclusions in the Salty Lady brewing process.” Accordingly, the tasting notes make claims of “toasted coriander, lemon zest, and

added sour” to mimic the flavor profile of the gose. I have tasted the product, and it is just fine. I am most impressed by the effort and the ideas rather than the outcomes, which can change and improve over time.

Across our fast-growing and changing city, beer-focused businesses are working with up-and-coming food-forward outlets to enhance each other’s offerings to wouldbe customers. It is not a massive stretch to suggest that both Heim Barbecue and Panther City BBQ would not be ripping up meat trees without initial support from the team behind Republic Street Bar. Both Q maestros started in the food truck in front of the bar at 201 E. Hattie St. Panther City recently opened their first brick-andmortar restaurant on the same plot, and Heim has become a standout on Magnolia and recently opened a second venue.

HopFusion Ale Works supports a rotating list of food trucks, while the same can be said for myriad bars, from hipster joints to dives with kick-ass taco vans out front. Beer and food are evidently natural bedfellows.

The wider story here could well be that local businesses are teaming up, realizing that we are stronger together. In the serious business of making a buck, business folks have woken up to the idea that Fort Worth can set its paw print on the consciousness of the nation, hell, the world, by building mutually supportive brands that excel.

Quality products flourish under the bright lights of fresh ideas. The results are intriguing. The possibilities, endless. l

I’m Fruity!

Real men drink fruit beer — and drink it proudly.

A few years ago, I was finishing up my lunch at a Cornish pasty place in downtown Phoenix. I wanted something to end the meal, but eating what felt like five pounds of meat and cheese encrusted in flaky, lardy pastry had left me in no mood for banoffee pie or sticky toffee pudding. I knew exactly what I did want, and I ordered a Founders Rubaeus beer. It was a perfect ending, with the bubbles and the hops scrubbing

right. For this peculiarly American style of beer, your best bet in North Texas is probably Lakewood Brewing Company’s Punkel, which smartly avoids using any pumpkin in the brew and instead employs the spices associated with pumpkin pie: cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. The spice mix brings out the naturally spicy, earthy qualities of the dark German-style dunkel where it’s used.

A few years ago, Budweiser built an ad campaign around the idea that fruit beer isn’t a drink for manly men. The blowback was fierce enough that the macrobrewer caved and shortly started putting its name on some peach margaritaflavored malt beverages, and yet some people persist in thinking along those lines.

The thing is, when you let social pressures keep you away from something that is delicious, you’ve already lost. I still remember how good that glass of raspberry ale tasted in Phoenix those years ago, and it’s why I’ll hold my head high when I raise my next glass of fruit beer in public. l

biscuit-y brew. You can find Revolver Brewing’s Blood & Honey in a great many places, and for good reason, as the golden ale (flavored with blood orange peel and Texas honey) offers up a complex and nicely balanced counterpoint to a wide variety of foods. The Granbury craft brewer also has a Full-Tang IPA that uses tangerine to bring out the citrus notes in the ale.

Division Brewing offers up a Knotty Boyse sour beer that’s made with boysenberries, blueberries, and vanilla. I found myself missing the woodsy roundness of the vanilla to balance out the berry tastes — the bean is tricky to work with because heat can burn off all the qualities that make it special — but even so, this imbibe with a color reminiscent of cherry Kool-Aid proves to be a sour lollipop of goodness. The Arlington brewery also offers a Grafted and Gilded Shiraz, a barrel-aged sour with shiraz grapes that gives you the unique experience of wine notes on top of beer.

Fall always means pumpkin beer, and while I’m as tired as everybody else of the pumpkin spicing of every supermarket product that comes with the season, I will say that it can work quite well in beer when it’s done Cour tesy LakeWood Brewing

the

away all the grease from the meal and the raspberries in the brew giving my palate a refreshing lift. I’m less likely to order a Founders now, given that the Michigan brewery seems to suck as a workplace, but fortunately, North Texas makes its own fruit beers to pick up the slack.

First, we need to define terms. A fruit beer is any beer that is brewed with fruit, so putting a wheel of orange on the rim of a glass of wheat beer does not make it a fruit beer, though it may get you chased down the street by an angry mob of wheat beer purists. (If this happens to you, don’t worry. The beer snobs will start arguing among themselves about whether to call it “hefeweizen” or “witbier” and eventually give up the chase.) We also don’t count straight-up mixtures of beer and fruit juice — known by the British word “shandy” or the German word “radler” — refreshing though they might be on a hot summer day.

No, the fruit must be in the brew.

Makers of lambic and other sour styles of beer (other than gose) add fruit as a way of offsetting the sourness with sweet flavors that don’t clash. IPA brewers, on the other hand, occasionally use hops that have citrus flavors, so the addition of actual citrus accentuates those tastes. Still others add fruit to their beer because, well, fruit tastes good.

Wheat beer lovers may object to orange slices, but orange peel has long been a traditional flavoring for the foamy,

Martine Gutierrez’ “Demons, Xochiquetzal ‘Flower Quetzal Feather’” is at the Modern.

Angels and Demons

There is perhaps no one to whom the word “Latinx” applies more than Martine Gutierrez. Last year, the transgender California-born artist of Latin and Native American descent caused a sensation in New York with Indigenous Woman, an installation in the form of a 146-page magazine (complete with fake ads) showcasing Irving Penn-like highfashion photographs that she took of herself in various costumes and roles.

This year, she turns 30 and is the subject of the Modern’s new Focus exhibition.

A selection of photographs from Indigenous Woman will be on display here, along with some video pieces that she created. Among the photographs are pictures of her as various Aztec and Mayan gods, which the Spaniards classed as “demons” after their conquest of the Americas. In her rendition, these ancient deities come startlingly to life as presentday fashion icons, an expression of her melding of male and female, old and new, Western and indigenous, and so many other categories. This winter, the Modern is the place to take in a hot new artist who has carved out a unique place for herself in the art world.

Focus runs Fri thru Jan 12 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St, FW. Admission is $10-16. Call 817-738-9215.

There were about five and a half minutes left in the first half of Dallas’ game against the division rival New York Football Giants when some bizarre juju swung all the momentum. Fans and players watched dumbfounded as a rather chonky, panicstricken black cat found its way onto the field and zigged and zagged around aimlessly for a simultaneously hilarious and terribly sad length of time. It was as if the specter of Halloween had lingered a bit too long in MetLife Stadium and a hex had been conjured, sent forth from dark realms to vanquish mighty Daniel “Danny Dimes” Jones (vomit) and Co.

Taking a Shot

A filmmaker takes an inspirational look at Tony Romo’s up-and-down career.

B Y

P A T R I C K

H I G G I N S

It’s been a little over three years since Tony Romo was dragged down from behind in a preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, fracturing his spine and effectively ending his playing career. With successive seasons plagued by serious injury, it seemed his body began to betray him just as his positional skill and mental command of the game were at their peak. At times both lovingly revered and viciously maligned, Romo left a legacy marked by alternating moments of breathtaking glory and heartbreaking despair.

At the opening of the Lone Star Film

Festival next week, a documentary will premiere that chronicles the highs and the lows of Romo’s improbable life in sports.

With Now or Never: A Tony Romo Story, director Chris Hanna (in his first feature film) attempts to give insight into a man often seen by fans and the media as aloof and nonchalant.

“I’ve always loved sports, even though I was never an athlete,” Hanna said in a phone interview. “I always knew at some point in my career, I would make a film about sports. Little did I know that it would be this early in my career,” he added with a laugh. Hanna is just 27 years old.

An El Paso native and lifelong Cowboys fan, Hanna began work on Now or Never three years ago while he was still a senior studying film at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. At the time, the Cowboys, led by rookie phenom Dak Prescott, had just lost in the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers, and a cloud still hovered over Romo’s future. After reading a profile of the quarterback’s uneven career that appeared in Texas Monthly, in which the main focus was his supposed inability to win big and important games — a trope that plagued the signal-caller

Yo u t u b e . c o m

STUFF

for the frenzied feline to find its way into the players’ tunnel and for play to resume, but the stoppage had zapped all the energy the Giants had been building, and the game changed completely.

At the time, thanks to another infuriating spate of turnovers, including an interception on Dak Prescott’s very first pass, the Cowboys had found themselves in a 9-3 hole, with New York knocking on the door of a 16-3 lead. Thanks to the voodoo of their furry friend, Dallas managed to hold the Giants out of the end zone and force a field goal. The Cowboys would then go on to score on successive drives to go up 13-12 at the half. Though the Giants would break a few plays down the stretch, Dallas never gave back control of the game, winning by a score of 37-18.

It’s possible that when we look back on it, that strange, occultish occurrence will appear as the turning point of this season. It certainly helped the Cowboys to stave off a second embarrassing loss in the Meadowlands this year. Whether the slip of the noose is just an amusing detail in another mediocre season or a divinely intervened opportunity to help focus them as they head into the most difficult stretch of games is anyone’s guess.

Despite the final score, there was plenty to grimace at about this game. After righting the ship in stunning fashion against the Eagles at home in Week 7 and 15 days of rest courtesy of the bye week that followed, it was expected that Dallas would handle the lowly first-year quarterback-led Giants

without much effort. However, once again they were plagued by costly turnovers, an offense that often looked lost, and a defense that continuously gave the Giants life by allowing long third-down conversions.

There was plenty to like about this game, too. For the first time this season, the Cowboys were actually able to overcome such adversities. Ezekiel Elliott looks as close to last season’s form (in which he won the rushing title for the second time) as he has so far this year, bursting through the gaping holes created by the Dallas offensive line for 139 yards on 23 carries, his best mark this season. Prescott and Amari Cooper continue to prove they are one of the better quarterback/wide receiver tandems in the league.

Finally — no doubt bolstered by bye week trade acquisition Michael Bennett on the defensive line — the defense made some big plays when it mattered, even forcing three turnovers of their own. Sean Lee, playing in place of injured middle linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, looked like he jumped out of a time machine from 2016, when he was an AllPro at the position. He posted 12 combined

tackles, a tackle for loss, and a pass defended.

He practically held Giants star running back Saquon Barkley in check by himself.

As Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young alluded to on the broadcast, the victory against the Giants was the first time in 14 games that the Cowboys have come back from a deficit of seven points or more. This is a team with big expectations, and showing they can hang in and claw back is an ability that’s nice to have, though I’d settle for them to just stop falling behind in the first place. Continuing with such lackluster firstquarter performances will bury their Super Bowl aspirations.

The Cowboys face opponents in playoff contention in five of their final eight games.

With the high-flying 49ers, Packers, and Saints having the top seeds on lock, the likelihood of a first-round bye is unrealistic.

The Eagles, in turn, refuse to give up and are still present in the Cowboys’ rear-view. The ’Boys will likely need to be the best version of themselves just to win the division. Unless, of course, they managed to snag that magical black cat and bring it home with them to use going forward. l

throughout his playing career — Hanna was inspired to paint a very different picture of the athlete, one that instead focused on his rare ability to overcome limitations, personal and professional, to achieve heights no one believed he could attain.

Romo, Hanna said, is “still one of my main inspirations. I just thought this was a great story. He was not drafted. He had [all these] injuries. His body didn’t help him achieve what he wanted. And in spite of that, he still played 13 seasons in the league with one team, 10 as a starter, and broke [so many] records.”

Through interviews with former teammates, friends, and family from his hometown of Burlington, Wisconsin, and with Romo himself, Hanna traces Romo’s journey from gawky high-school basketball player to Cowboys franchise record holder.

The film emerges as a tender portrait of a humble and motivational man often erroneously viewed as cocky and uncaring.

Personal anecdotes and footage of Romo’s charity kids’ football camp held annually in Burlington give a novel insight into Romo’s psychological makeup, which was largely unavailable during his playing days.

Mirroring many of the themes of the film, Hanna had to use his own inherent courage and conviction to tackle the story.

That an unproven undergrad managed to be given the opportunity to tell this story, and with such close access, is no small feat. Having done exhaustive research, Hanna initially reached out to people close to Romo in Burlington. Through those interviews, he proved that although he was young and fairly inexperienced, he was professional and capable. Both his skill and his passion for the project garnered him an invite to Romo’s QB camp and ultimately a few hours with Romo on camera.

“It was a three-year journey of getting to earn their trust,” Hanna said of the daunting task of capturing the life of a personal hero. “Once we showed them what the film was going to be, they loved it, so they gave us a shot.”

Now or Never screens at 6pm on Wednesday, November 13, at the Lone Star Film Festival. The movie will continue to make its way around the film festival circuit while negotiations continue over a potential limited theatrical release and eventual digital distribution. l

TCU commits four turnovers to lose against Oklahoma State by a touchdown.

“You were powerful, Canadian, and wearing a black jersey with an orange number 30 on it. We flirted for more than half an hour and thought you were contained. Then you were gone. I know what I did wrong. Give me a chance to get back together and try again.” This is the Frog defense’s Craigslist post to Cowboys running back (No. 30) Chuba Hubbard. The former Canadian track star had been the most productive rusher in the country when the Horned Frogs visited Oklahoma State on Saturday. As the proverb astutely reminds: Stillwater runs deep.

Hubbard came into this game as the obvious Cowboys offensive threat. Freshman QB Spencer Sanders (No. 3), of Denton, sported almost as many interceptions as touchdown passes. If the Froggies could bottle up No. 30, it seemed, they’d have a fighting chance to win on the road. The Pokes picked their moments and used Sanders’ running talents to advance the chains and keep the purple defense on their heels. The Frog secondary is giving up at least one egregious blown-coverage touchdown a game, and this weekend was no different. The lively Sanders danced for extra time in the pocket while wide receiver Dillon Stoner (No. 17) pranced unencumbered for an easy 57-yard touchdown and a 10-0 Cowpoke advantage. TCU

Duggan threw his first interception of the season last week during the win against Texas. It was refreshing to see the frosh let loose and take risks. Passes flew to the wrong color thrice this week. Not a step in the correct direction. Those errant throws, coupled with Stephens’ fumble, buried hopes for a comeback late in the game, when the result was still in question. Reagor accumulated more than 100 receiving yards. Play calling from Offensive Coordinator Sonny Cumbie was generally balanced, except during the fourth frame. Two possessions down, and with ample time remaining, the purple rushing game was abandoned for Duggan to toss repeatedly while under duress from orange-and-black defenders. No. 15 wasn’t having his best game. Asking him to air it out before absolutely necessary seemed like a fool’s errand on Cumbie’s part.

countered with balanced drives featuring a combination of Sewo Olonilua (No. 33) and Darius Anderson (No. 6) pounding the rock. Jalen Reagor (No. 1) and Pro Wells (No. 81) connected with quarterback Max Duggan (No. 15), who passed and scrambled efficiently throughout the first half to knot the score at 17 going into halftime for a reset.

Everything ran downhill after that. Duggan deftly rushed for an impressive 42-yard gain. A Froggy lead seemed imminent before purple receiver John Stephens Jr. (No. 7) fumbled deep in OSU territory. No immediate damage resulted from the turnover, and an exchange of punts pushed OK State Head Coach Mike Gundy’s mullet militia into the shadow of their own goal post. Frog defenders misread a zone exchange and dived for Sanders while Hubbard darted through a covered wagon-sized hole for an untouched 92-yard touchdown. Deja vu occurred at the end of the third quarter –– the sophomore charged through another inside gap for a 62-yard touchdown. Frog claws slipped from his jersey as he blew past them.

Gundy called on Hubbard to carry seven times during the first half for 33 yards. His bell-cow back ran 13 times in the second half for 190 yards, 154 of them on the aforementioned touchdown carries. Sanders and Stoner lulled Head Coach Gary Patterson’s defenders into a false sense of security. Hubbard blew up late in the game as the defensive box fatigued.

Sophomore tight end Pro Wells is a consistent red-zone scoring threat with five touchdowns this season.

successful season right now. Yes, it would be advantageous for Duggan’s development if we get there. I’ll be excited for a 13th game while sporting one of many eggnog hangovers.

But beating Baylor Saturday morning would salvage this season, even if they lost every other remaining game. The Bears are feeling more righteous than normal — hard to believe, I know –– after a stark turnaround from a onewin season two years ago to an unbeaten record thus far.

Baylor possesses the most favorable schedule of any Big 12 squad this season. They play or have played the top-tier conference teams in Waco, which, sadly, doesn’t include TCU. Their strength of schedule is rated among the worst of all power-five teams, but you’d better believe every Fixer Upper fanatic believes they have a chance to go to the college football playoff. They don’t even if they’re undefeated.

Their laughable pre-conference games combined with a weakened Big 12 that won’t contain a one-loss squad should the Bears remain undefeated do not give them a polar bear’s chance in hell. The Frogs should shatter this illusion and can with a clean and efficient offensive performance similar to the Texas game that saw the defense banish its mental misfires and give away touchdowns. Patterson has sanctioned Baylor the last four meetings and hasn’t allowed their offense more than 22 points in any of those games.

Coach Matt Rhule fancies himself a defensive coach also, but a low scoring affair favors Patterson despite the below average Frog offense. l

For this Beer Issue food column, I began with a moment of silence for the late Trinity Tavern, fomerly The Pour House, where I used to conduct basic beer research. Fortunately, beer and food pairings have apparently been a thing for nearly a decade, so there’s no shortage of opinions. Everywhere from popular men’s magazines to avid Pinterest posters and a chain restaurant’s plastic-encased menu, you’ll find advice (some color-coded) about which beer goes best with your grub.

We’re also #blessed that some restaurants have conveniently provided you with the perfect beer and food pairings all in one place.

Case in point: Pouring Glory’s menu is a veritable gold mine of bar-food goodness.

The poutine is about as authentic as any you’ll find south of Michigan (which is pretty much Canada in terms of food).

Chow, Baby A Parent’s Guide to Homebrewing

Parents of teenagers: Your precocious little scamps are going to imbibe Mötley Crüe-levels of beer at many points throughout their formative years. If teens don’t exorcise that lust for sensation out of their developing little systems, they’re going to be terribly boring adults.

As parents, you can’t stop their years-long booze-quest, but maybe you can prevent alcohol poisoning or, at the very least, de-stigmatize hooch so your brats don’t find themselves living off the free cookies and coffee from AA meetings at age 42.

When I was a teenager, I used to brew beer at a friend’s house under his folks’ supervision. Before you repressed fuddy-duddies pull a muscle furrowing your brows and tutting, think about all the trouble I could have found in a never-ending hunt for a weekend buzz –– the sketchy search for a fake I.D., seedy gas stations, strange men who agree to buy booze for a price. I would no doubt be wandering the streets, doing who knows

Cour tesy Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill

EATS Beer Is

Team the poutine with Oak Highlands Brewery’s Freaky Deaky Belgian Triple or a Peticolas Velvet Hammer red ale.

The spicy Thai-influenced burger and Korean-spiced tacos could benefit from a partnership with Rahr & Sons Brewing Company’s Blonde lager.

Cowtown Brewing is another one of those restaurants whose menu exists to pair with their craft beer. The Rock Island Red or G’Night Vienna lagers play foil to the jalapeño sausage. For the brisket options (and they are legion here), the Cowtown experts recommend a darker beer, like their Imperial Milk Stout.

Cityworks conveniently categorizes its beer menu, so if you’re looking for a particular style, you’ll find it easily. Rabbit Hole Brewing’s Rapture brown ale might party hardy with the barbecue pork ribs.

Cityworks offers a few vegetarian/vegan selections as well –– the zing of the spicyto-the-max Kung Pao cauliflower appetizer is deliciously tamped by the Three Nations Brewing Co.’s German Pale ale.

Arlington’s Tipsy Oak offers several fish entrees, including blackened salmon or cod and fried shrimp, that pair well with New Main Brewing’s Double Victory IPA or Panther Island Brewing’s IPf ’nA. Then there’s the Legal Draft Smash & Grab IPA-battered fish and chips. The beer itself isn’t currently on the menu.

You could buck tradition and opt for the Martin House Salty Lady sour gose or Rahr’s light, lemony Adios Pantalones –– both will cut through the rich batter and deliciously crispy fries.

The Thirsty Lion Gastropub’s fennelkissed, beer-steamed shrimp entrée (new on the restaurant’s fall menu) might pair nicely with Rahr’s Dadgum IPA or Dallas’ Community Beer Co.’s Whitbier. I also loved the deep dish porter brownie on the dessert menu –– that and a Lakewood Brewing Temptress Nitro make a killer midnight snack.

The Thirsty Lion Gastropub’s beer-steamed shrimp pairs well with an IPA.

Arlington’s Dog Haus Biergarten boasts a relatively diverse beer list to complement its dog and braut selections.

Beer enthusiasts are not all of one mind when it comes to picking out a pairing for hot dogs. Some recommend an IPA like Division Brewing’s Sticky ’Stache (made literally a few miles up the road), while others recommend a brown ale –– perhaps Lone Pint Brewery’s Gentleman’s Relish.

I started to try to pair beer with burgers, but between toppings and seasonings, there are just too many variables. You’ll be happy with the acceptable selection of craft beer at Fred’s Texas Café and the much larger selection at nearby Rodeo Goat.

Finally, what’s better than pizza and beer? Pizza and pilsner are a combo that

what for a taste of The Creature, if not for the forward thinking of a few conscientious parents who got together and decided to turn something we were going to do anyway into a neat science project.

My friends and I transformed into chemists with every stout and ale we brewed and imbibed. We started by using kits that required very little expertise other than the ability to follow a recipe. From there, we developed strong opinions about various hops and other grains, styles of porter, and types of filtration systems. We made Walter White look like a paint-by-numbers hack. Not only did we achieve underage drinking, but we proudly hoisted pints with our parents instead of sneaking behind their backs –– except when we didn’t.

Precious few local resources exist for the plucky homebrewer. There is, of course, the vastness of the internet, whose resources are unlimited, albeit impersonal and wrought with bad info. If you or your burgeoning teen Bacchus feels the home-brewing itch, the area does house a couple of ringers.

Brewhound (8808 Camp Bowie West, Ste 160, 817615-9551) carries all the supplies you need for home-

beer-pairing nerds rave about. Grab a spicy pie at Cane Rosso and some of the Collective Brewing Project’s Commercially Viable, which wins the name game in terms of local craft beer. Hopfusion Aleworks’ fruity, fizzy whitbiers will make some magic with Mama’s Pizza’s semi-legendary thick garlic-cheese bread, and you can bring your pizza into their taproom. At Fort Brewery, the beer menu comes with recommendations for food, so they’ve taken all the guesswork out of pizza and beer pairings.

Of course, if you have a favorite go-to beer, don’t let anyone tell you it doesn’t pair with whatever it is that you’re eating. l

making beer, wine, cheese, and, by correlation, babies.

But since we’re publishing yet another *expletive* special issue, I’m here to tell you about beer. This Camp Bowie-area boutique carries easy-to-make kits for the novice, fancy-ass grains for the highfalutin, and classes for those whose thirst for knowledge rivals their longing for beer. Seriously, this place is kind of a hangout for beer nerds who sniff their pint glasses like it’s a key bump and make bizarre slurping noises every sip. So if you’re of that bent, you can’t do better.

The Hound’s only local rival has to be Texas Brewing Inc. (5204 Airport Fwy, Haltom City, 682-6471267). The Haltom City retailer also stocks everything you need for beer-making at every skill level. This shop comes with its own support group and hosts “social events,” which sounds like a way of saying “keggers” but without the looming threat of being busted by the cops.

Happy North Texas Beer Week, everyone! And remember: Let your kids drink, or they’ll suck.

LAST CALL

A Brave Brew World

You’ve probably noticed that Texas has exploded with craft breweries. According to the Brewers Association, the number statewide has soared from 59 in 2011 to 283 in 2018. To my teachers who pleaded with me to learn math, promising I would use it in the real world, this one’s for you — that’s a 380 percent increase in less than a decade.

Thirteen of those craft breweries are right here in Tarrant County. Most have been around long enough, or done well enough, that they’re beginning to expand — not only into additional locations but into new ventures like restauranteering and beer to-go sales. The latter is due to some recent amendments to state legislation.

I’ll admit I know little about, nor do I pay much attention to, state law or local politics, even when it comes to alcohol. Still, it seems the local community has been, a’hem, abuzz about two bills in the headlines as of late: Senate Bill 312 and House Bill 672.

Previously, Texas was the only state in the United States with legislation prohibiting manufacturing breweries from selling their malt products onsite. By keeping each piece of the supply chain distinct, these TABC regulations were in place to promote competition and prevent monopolies. Those same rules don’t apply to wineries, distilleries, and brewpubs, which are all classified differently under the law.

Since the Senate and House bills passed a short while ago, these craft establishments finally joined their peers in being able to sell six-packs, cases, and to-go containers like refillable growlers and crowlers (32-ounce cans) onsite. Next time you host a rager, though, don’t expect to pick up a keg from your favorite microbrewery. TABC limits consumers to purchasing up to 288 ounces, or one case, per day.

One of those 13 local beer-makers, Wild Acre Brewing Co. (1734 E El Paso St, Ste190, 817-882-9453), is opening up a second location, this one a restaurant on Camp Bowie Boulevard, sometime in 2020. Soon to have its own brewing system and a full menu, the restaurant will occupy space within a long-abandoned building that was, in a former life, a Kroger.

For a taste of what the restaurant’s vibe might be like, I journeyed to Wild Acre on an idyllic autumn afternoon.

With temperatures in the 60s and the sun shining bright, people wrapped in cozy sweaters and flannel shirts swarmed the outdoor patio. A young guitarist casually strummed on stage while groups on the lawns abutting a covered patio tossed corn hole beanbags and disc golf frisbees. Let’s just say, when the new restaurant opens, the line forms behind me.

I chuckled when I saw that each bathroom stall door touted flyers announcing “Treat yo self to beer-to-go” in all caps, along with a friendly reminder about the daily limit.

For some, the changes in legislation didn’t affect much. Neither Deep Ellum Brewing Co. in Dallas nor its Fort Worth location, Funkytown Fermatorium (611 University Dr, 817-873-3322), qualify to sell their products to-go — a fact I discovered when a couple friends and I were dining at the Fermatorium and wanted to buy a crowler of their Soul Crusher IPA. Our bartendress sighed and explained that, because Deep Ellum joined CANarchy, a collective of seven craft breweries — technically based in Colorado — and the consortium produces and distributes more than a certain number of barrels per year, the new rules do not apply to any of Deep Ellum’s locations. Though disappointed, my friends and I nonetheless enjoyed our special Fort Worth-series brews and the delicious fare in-house.

With a community devoted to quality food and craft beer, these recent changes in legislation and continued expansions by brewers into restauranteering can only mean good things. Clear eyes, full stomachs, can’t lose.

“I got hooked,” she said. “I bought a board, and I would commute two hours in the morning to surf before going back to the city for classes.”

Before long, she moved to Rockaway Beach, where she would surf and sing for four years before returning to her hometown of Keller in 2017. But in her time in the boroughs, she honed her songcraft into a pair of EPs, 2015’s Bella Vista and last year’s Jellyfish Queen, as well as an album, due out on Thursday at a release show at MASS. Water Theory bathes the listener in waves of sunny, electronic pop perfection.

Leigh’s path to the ocean started with the Crimson Tide, when she studied at University of Alabama as a musical theater major for a year before deciding she didn’t want to spend three more in the Heart of Dixie. Leigh decamped for New York City with aspirations of studying at the famed B Y S T E V E S T E W A R D Alvin Ailey Dance Studio, later enrolling Singer-songwriter Lorena Leigh fell in in the dance program at Pace University love with the ocean, not in California, and busying herself with nanny jobs, dogHawaii, or any of the other places most walking, bartending, babysitting, and even people imagine when they think of the the occasional professional dance gigs like flash mob performances.

A little over five years and her head was brimming with ago, Leigh, who lived in Manhattan at the inspiration. She met a producer named time, day-tripped to the neighborhood on Ernesto Valenzuela, and the two ended up Queens’ Rockaway peninsula and took a partnering on her music. “I downsized my life to fit into a tiny bedroom that rented surf lesson.

Dreamy Life’s Unsung Affiliate About a month ago, I wrote an article on the recent release of Dreamy Life’s Group Therapy, Vol. 5 compilation.

Embarrassingly, after the piece went to print, it was brought to my attention that in a line crediting the label’s co-owners for their efforts, there was a glaring omission of one of their number. Jim Vallee, a key Power Ranger that helps form the Dreamy Life Zord, had been forgotten. Again.

Apparently, it’s a fairly common occurrence. Unlike the other co-owners, producers Britt Robisheaux (Pinkish Black, BJ Thomas) and Robby Rux (The Fibs, Johndavid Bartlett) and locally prominent musician Cameron Smith (Sur Duda, War Party), Vallee’s contributions to the inner workings of the label and its associated recording studio and record store are less public-facing, an obstacle that has routinely denied him due credit

and kept his name out of media accounts of the label’s goings-on.

“I think that people who really know the label and people who visit the store [regularly] know full well that I’m involved,” Vallee said about his general lack of recognition. “But when it comes to anything in print, I rarely get mentioned.

It’s not the end of the world. It’s nothing to get too upset about, but it’s like, ‘Gah! I’m certainly pulling my weight to help make this thing go.’ ” Since he joined with Rux and Smith in 2014 as the two merged their separate labels, Dreamy Soundz and Lo-Life Recordings, the way Vallee has “helped things go” is by being the main financial backer of the label and by offering some much-needed business acumen. He was responsible for obtaining the business license and forming the LLC for the label, and he brought a vision for how to operate viably that complemented the differing skill sets of the others.

“One of the value-adds I feel I’ve given is in not getting in over your head — to try to see what works and what doesn’t,” he said. “Instead of having this grand vision

Leigh : “I love DFW, but after living by the ocean, I really want to be coastal.”

for $400 a month,” she recalled, “and we were able to work in several high-end studios during their off hours on a really small budget.”

Leigh and Valenzuela also tracked vocals and ukulele –– a signature component of her sound –– at a lakeside cabin in Vermont. They worked in the winter, when the lake was frozen. “There was no cell reception and no running water, which is ironic for an album that’s inspired by the ocean,” Leigh said.

While the ocean indeed plays a large part in Water Theory’s sonics and imagery, Leigh’s songs are also deeply personal.

“There’s this song, ‘Can’t Undo,’ that’s about a casual hook-up,” she said. “I wrote it in about five minutes.” to do a lot of things up front, to start small and simple and evolve from there.”

Much of his small business knowledge comes from his father, who owned several small businesses in his hometown of Dover, New Hampshire — a Laundromat, a few convenience stores, and even a record store among them. It’s kind of funny that it’s come full circle and I’m now running a record store, too,” Vallee said.

Perhaps his biggest day-to-day involvement is his overseeing and financing Dreamy Life Records and Tapes, the modest music store also owned by the label trust, located inside MASS on the Near Southside. He purchases and maintains all the inventory — the store basically operating as a main revenue generator for the label.

“Basically, all the money from the store goes back into the label,” Vallee said.

“I can buy $5,000 worth of records and sell them for $10,000, and I’ve doubled the investment into what we can do.”

It’s a clever way to help combat the difficult business model inherent in small independent record labels, especially in

Leigh recounted a story about going on a date with a man who was considerably older than she was. “He was a nice guy who had a good job, but when I got home, I started crying, because he was nice, but I wasn’t into him, so I came home, I cried, and I wrote it really fast.”

“Can’t Undo” is actually a lot breezier than its inspiration would suggest –– its vibe calls to mind a Fleetwood Mac song made for a beachside cabana –– bouncing on lyrics like, “I’d like to get over being lonely with you / Let’s do something we can’t undo.” Overall, Water Theory is a cheery, hooky slab of pop that ebbs and flows with emotional color and depth and winsome turns of phrase. Leigh takes her craft seriously, which is why she ultimately moved back home to Keller. It’s a lot easier to focus on the business side of her music career when she isn’t distracted by NYC’s constant state of fight-or-flight.

Leigh just wrapped up a tour that took her up the West Coast, from Los Angeles to the Bay Area and the verdant wilds of Northern California on up to the Pacific Northwest, before returning home through Denver and Amarillo, performing her music along with an Ableton live rig in lieu of a full band. In December, Leigh will take her new album on a tour of the Midwest. While she’s looking forward to showcasing her music to that landlocked part of the country, the ocean is never far from her mind.

“I love DFW, but after living by the ocean, I really want to be coastal,” she said.

“In the meantime, though, I want to give my music a real chance.” l a rapidly changing industry. As sales of physical media continue to slump, being replaced by downloads and streams, it’s become more difficult than ever for a label to continue to operate, much less turn a profit. But such a passion still exists within the label that they’re pushing through.

“The rules have changed dramatically since we’ve started,” Vallee said. “New bands, especially younger bands, are not really seeing the value in [being on] a label. They’re coming out, developing their own social media campaigns, aligning with influencers, and trying to get on [streaming] playlists. We’ll always continue to put out releases. That’s never going to change, but we’re starting to move away from the thinking of a traditional label, focusing more on artist development.

“There’s a lot of great music in town,” he continued. “There’s a lot of music that needs to be heard, so we’re going to continue to do [what we do] despite what’s been going on.” –– Patrick Higgins Contact HearSay at hearsay@fwweekly.com.

public notices

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

Consolidated Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Permit and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision

Public Comment/Public Meeting. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting. See Contacts section. The TCEQ will consider all public comments in developing a final decision on the application. The deadline to submit public comments or meeting requests is 30 days after newspaper notice is published. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the TCEQ’s jurisdiction to consider in the permit process.

The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or ask questions about the application. A public meeting about the application will be held if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. If a public meeting is held, the deadline to submit public comments is extended to the end of the public meeting.

Contested Case Hearing. You may request a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. Unless a written request for a contested case hearing is filed within 30 days from this notice, the executive director may approve the application.

A person who may be affected by emissions of air contaminants from the facility is entitled to request a hearing.

To request a hearing, a person must actually reside in a permanent residence within 440 yards of the proposed plant. If requesting a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number; (2) applicant’s name and registration number; (3) the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing;” (4) a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the application and air emissions from the facility in a way not common to the general public; (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the facility; (6) a description of how you use the property which may be impacted by the facility; and (7) a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period. If the request is made by a group or association, one or more members who have standing to request a hearing must be identified by name and physical address. The interests which the group or association seeks to protect must be identified. You may submit your proposed adjustments to the application which would satisfy your concerns. See Contacts section.

TCEQ Action. After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. The executive director’s decision on the application, and any response to comments, will be mailed to all persons on the mailing list. If no timely contested case hearing requests are received, or if all hearing requests are withdrawn, the executive director may issue final approval of the application. If all timely hearing requests are not withdrawn, the executive director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and requests to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material air quality concerns submitted during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the Commission’s jurisdiction to address in this proceeding.

Mailing List. You may ask to be placed on a mailing list to receive additional information on this specific application.

See Contacts section.

Information Available Online. For details about the status of the application, visit the Commissioners’ Integrated Database (CID) at www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/cid. Once you have access to the CID using the link, enter the registration number at the top of this notice. øcomments and requests must be submitted either electronically at www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/eComment/, or in writing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. Please be aware that any contact information you provide, including your name, phone number, email address and physical address will become part of the agency’s public record. For more information about this application or the permitting process, please call the TCEQ Public Education Program toll free at 1-800-687-4040 or visit their website at www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/pep.

Notice Issuance Date: November 5, 2019

PERMIT NUMBER: 7363 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. NuStar Logistics, L.P., 4200 Cliffside Road, Amarillo, Texas 79124-7830, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for an amendment to Air Quality Permit Number 7363, which would authorize modification to a Southlake Refined Products Terminal located at 1700 Mustang Court, Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas 76092. This application was submitted to the TCEQ on September 7, 2017.

The existing facility will emit the following contaminants: carbon monoxide, hazardous air pollutants, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxides, organic compounds, particulate matter including particulate matter with diameters of 10 microns or less and 2.5 microns or less and sulfur dioxide.

The executive director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit which, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate.

The executive director has made a preliminary decision to issue the permit because it meets all rules and regulations. The permit application, executive director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, the TCEQ Dallas/ Fort Worth regional office beginning the first day of publication of this notice. The facility’s compliance file, if any exists, is available for public review at the TCEQ Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Office, 2309 Gravel Dr, Fort Worth, Texas 76051.

PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comment or to ask questions about the application. The TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. You may submit additional written public comments within 30 days of the date of newspaper publication of this notice in the manner set forth in the AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION paragraph below.

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material or significant public comments. Because no timely hearing requests have been received, after preparing the response to comments, the executive director may then issue final approval of the application. The response to comments, along with the executive director’s decision on the application will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or is on a mailing list for this application, and will be posted electronically to the Commissioners’ Integrated Database (CID).

INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONLINE.
