    The Great Texas Beer Adventure

    Texas cyclists trek to Denver beer fest with bus full of brew to promote prostate cancer awareness

    Jonathan Rienstra
    Oct 3, 2013 | 9:03 am

    Google Maps officially lists the journey from Austin to Denver as a little more than 900 miles, but the beer-guzzling, road-biking team behind 1400 Miles wanted to take a few pit stops at New Mexico breweries on the way to the Great American Beer Festival.

     

    Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the 1400 Miles crew is bringing along a bus full of Texas craft beer. Dubbed the Beerliner, the 1974 refurbished bus has four beer taps, three video screens and a commercial kitchen.

     
     

      The two-week, 1,400-mile trip from Austin to Denver raises money for Pints for Prostates.

     
     

    The idea to travel to the October 10 festival via bike came from Davis Tucker, who owns the Austin brewpub North by Northwest. The two-week trip intends to raise awareness and money for Pints for Prostates, which educates men about the importance of prostate cancer testing and prevention and ways to combat the disease.

     

    Adding to the fun is that fact that Tony Drewery (lead singer of Shotgun Friday) is driving the Beerliner to keep them company.

     

    During the trip, the Beerliner is stopping in cities between Austin and Denver to share in the good word of Texas craft beers and sampling what the local breweries have to offer.

     

    “I fell in love with that bus the first time I saw it several years ago,” Drewery says. “Davis asked, ‘Do you want to drive this thing?’ and I was like, ‘Uh, hell yeah.’”

     

    Keeping up with the bus and the riders is a film crew shooting a documentary helmed by executive producer Courtney Cobb and director Thomas Kolicko. The crew has previous experience covering craft beer from the documentary Crafting A Nation, which featured Tucker.

     

    “Davis was telling me all these funny stories about the Beerliner,” Cobb says, “and I was like ‘Oh my goodness, we have to document this!’ Then it turned from documenting just the Beerliner to documenting a Beerliner sort of being the sag vehicle with actual cyclists.”

     

    Crew members are incorporating their craft beer experience with Kolicko’s background shooting snow sports to create what they hope to be a documentary that visually pushes the envelope.

     

    “We’re shooting on RED Scarlet, and the crew is hanging out of a truck — very safely,” Cobb says.

     

    The documentary crew is currently waiting to see if the film will come out as an episodic release, a feature-length movie, or a short film after they finish shooting b-roll in 2014.

     

    “We really want to make it as cinematic as possible,” Cobb says. “We want to get the helicopter shots of the mountains in Colorado and really push it, but we have to first figure out what the story is.”

     

    When the bikers and Beerliner reach Denver, Tucker will be part of a panel called “Beyond the Beer” put on by The Business of Fun, a group devoted to keeping kids out of cubicles. The panel also features the owner of Oskar Blues, Dale Katechis and Amanda Johnson-King of Odell Brewing Company.

     

    For the rest of the festival, the Beerliner will set up on the street around the corner from the Falling Rock Taphouse.

     

    “We are the only state that brings up a bus of its beer,” Drewery says. “It’s a cool opportunity for the breweries and opens people’s eyes that there’s a lot of really good beer in Texas.”

    The Beerliner is also taking the trip up to the Great American Beer Festival with the 1400 Mile team from Texas.

    Texas ranks as No. 1 state with the most people in financial distress

    Texans are stretched thin financially.

    Experiencing financial strife is a nightmare of many Americans, but it appears to be a looming reality for Texans, according to a just-released WalletHub study ranking Texas the No. 1 most financially distressed state in America.

    To determine the states with the most financially distressed residents, WalletHub compared all 50 states across nine metrics in six major categories, such as average credit scores, the share of people with "accounts in distress" (meaning an account that's in forbearance or has deferred payments), the one-year change in bankruptcy filings from March 2024, and search interest indexes for "debt" and "loans."

    Joining Texas among the top five most distressed states are Florida (No. 2), Louisiana (No. 3), Nevada (No. 4), and South Carolina (No. 5).

    Texas' new ranking as the most financially distressed state in 2025 may be unexpected, WalletHub says, considering the state has a "bigger GDP than most countries" and still has one of the top 10 best economies in the nation (even though that ranking is also lower than it was in previous years).

    Even so, Texas residents are stretching themselves very thin financially this year. Texans had the ninth lowest average credit scores nationwide during the first quarter of 2025, the study found, and Texans had the sixth-highest increase in non-business-related bankruptcy filings over the last year, toppling 22 percent.

    "Texas also had the third-highest number of accounts in forbearance or with deferred payments per person, and the seventh-highest share of people with these distressed accounts, at 7.1 percent," the report said.

    This is where Texas ranked across the study's six key dimensions, where No. 1 means "most distressed:"

    • No. 5 – "Loans" search interest index rank
    • No. 6 – Change in bankruptcy filings from March 2024 to March 2025 rank
    • No. 7 – Average number of accounts in distress rank
    • No. 8 – People with accounts in distress rank
    • No. 13 – Credit score rank and “debt” search interest index rank
    The study also clarified that the state's high search rates for "debt" and "loans" is a key indication that Texans are "desperate to borrow, despite already owing money."
    Examining these financial factors on the state level is important for understanding how Americans are faring with economic issues like inflation, unemployment rates, or natural disasters, according to WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.
    "When you combine data about people delaying payments with other metrics like bankruptcy filings and credit score changes, it paints a good picture of the overall economic trends of a state," Lupo said.

    At least inflation isn't impacting Dallas as much as other U.S. cities.

    On the other side of the spectrum, states like Hawaii (No. 50), Vermont (No. 49), and Alaska (No. 48) are the least financially distressed states in America.

    The top 10 states with the most people in financial distress in 2025 are:

    • No. 1 – Texas
    • No. 2 – Florida
    • No. 3 – Louisiana
    • No. 4 – Nevada
    • No. 5 – South Carolina
    • No. 6 – Oklahoma
    • No. 7 – North Carolina
    • No. 8 – Mississippi
    • No. 9 – Kentucky
    • No. 10 – Alabama
