Texas breweries are baking up special batches of liquid bread this spring.
They aren t baking, of course, but they are brewing specialty brews made with Texas-grown malt to raise money for the state s largest craft beer advocacy program.

Half a dozen of the beers have been released, with nearly two dozen more beers slated to debut in coming weeks in styles ranging from hoppy IPAs to decadent stouts.
