From Saint Arnold

I had heard about this on the BA boards, but had not seen it confirmed anywhere. Here it is from the horse's mouth. No word on Austin.

SAINT ARNOLD IS CHANGING DISTRIBUTORS NEXT MONTH IN MUCH OF THE STATE Glazer's, our distributor for the past 10 years, has decided to sell their beer distribution business in much of Texas. Thus, we will have new distributors come February 1 in the greater Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio and Corpus Christi areas. For most of Houston and San Antonio it will be Silver Eagle. In Dallas/Fort Worth, it will be Ben E. Keith. There may be something of a learning curve at first since this is the first time Silver Eagle has distributed a beer that did not have any connection to a certain large brewery in St. Louis. But we are excited as we believe that this will be a great opportunity for us to continue our growth.
