In this rich and revealing episode, we sit down with Shayne, co-founder of New Magnolia Brewing Company, to trace his path from Jester King Brewery to launching a new chapter in Houston’s historic brewing tradition.

Shayne shares how he’s revived a pre-Prohibition beer recipe, passed down from the grandson of legendary brewer Franz, one of the original minds behind the Magnolia Brewing Co. With a commitment to replicating early 1900s water purity, Shayne’s brewing philosophy blends heritage with innovation—one pint at a time.
