R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The State of Texas lost a pioneer of its craft beer
  industry with the untimely passing of Steve Anderson of Alpine on
  November 25, 2015, at the age of 53; and
         WHEREAS, Born in Dallas in 1962, Steve Anderson moved to
  Austin to pursue his passion for music shortly after graduating
  from high school; throughout the 1980s, he became part of the city's
  growing punk music scene, performing in bands that included the Cry
  Babies, Screws, Toxic Shock, and Scratch Acid; and
         WHEREAS, During that time, Mr. Anderson also worked as a
  bartender at Texas Showdown, where he developed a friendship with
  the club's owner, Billy Forrester; the pair bonded over a mutual
  appreciation for beer brewing, and in 1993, they opened the first
  brewpub in Texas, Waterloo Brewing Company, in downtown Austin; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Anderson went on to work as a brewmaster at Live
  Oak Brewing Company for a decade, and he later relocated to West
  Texas, where he founded Big Bend Brewing Company in Alpine in 2012;
  he led the business up until the time of his death, and under his
  able guidance and expertise, it grew to produce more than 5,000
  barrels of craft beer each year; and
         WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Anderson enjoyed the love
  and support of his wife, Ellen; and
         WHEREAS, Steve Anderson inspired countless others with his
  dedication to pursuing his dreams, and those who were privileged to
  share in his love and friendship will forever remember him with
  admiration and affection; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Steve Anderson and
  extend deepest condolences to his relatives and many friends; and,
  be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
  Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Steve
  Anderson.
