Save the World Brewing Co. of Marble
Falls, Texas, is “America’s first 100% philanthropic production craft brewery.” They just extended their service to
humanity from their tap room to the bottled retail markets. They create about a dozen different
brews. I tasted three at my neighborhood Whole Foods and bought a six pack.
Save the World Brewing Company is
the mission of former physicians Quynh and Dave Rathkamp. Their volunteer work overseas distanced them from “the first world problems” of most of the people
they saw in their pediatric practices. They found themselves called by God to
follow a different path. (Full
story here.)
Their sales representative, Cory,
was at Whole Foods. I recommended that he visit the Wheatsville Co-op; and he
told me that he had just come from there, and they now have it on the
shelf.
Cory brought Agnes Dei, Lux Mundi,
and Humilus Filus. I purchased the third. It was a hard choice because
all of them were superb. I have never thought much of Texas beers. (See here and here. )
These were heavenly. They are full-flavored with overtones. The Lux Mundi was
light, of course, yet tasteful and pleasing. I chose the warm and toasty
Humilus Filius, both for culinary and philosophical reasons. My previous
favorite had been Arrogant Bastard, but now I am converted.

Thanks Mike for highlighting our brewery. Great job. Keep up the good work!
