Pondaseta Brewing is one of the coolest Texas breweries you’ve never heard of.

It started when longtime chums Kaleb West and Trever Martin played in a Texas Country music band together, in college. Kaleb wailed on the guitar and Trever dominated the drums, but sadly, the band didn’t make it past their first concert. The two friends parted ways, though they never lost touch. 

Then one day, Kaleb called Trever and told him about his plans to move home and open a brewery. With several years of homebrewing under his belt, Trever quickly agreed to join him. 

Today, the two are crafting some of the best small-batch brews in the Texas panhandle — heck, maybe even some of the best in all of the Lone Star state!

Snag a sip of today’s Razz-Becky, and you’ll see what we mean:

To make it, the brewers took their house Blonde Ale and refermented it on 16 lbs of raspberry purée per barrel. Rather than overshadowing the soft complexity of the Blonde Ale base, the raspberry enhances the experience with its bright juiciness and a light, fruity sweetness. The gentle berry tartness carries on throughout, before fading to a pleasant, bready finish.

Each sip tastes like homemade raspberry jam over crisp, toasted brioche bread. A light and airy treat to help usher in the springtime sun!

But, you’ll have to be quick if you want to cool off with this refreshing Texas brew — we have less than 20 cases of Razz-Becky to go around!
