Before Artisanal, Bob Leggett spent his career building beer brands America now takes for granted — helping grow Shiner Bock and Corona into national names.
Then came the sip that changed everything: a Duvel. Convinced that American drinkers deserved the world's great specialty beers — served fresh, supported properly, and sold with conviction — he founded Artisanal Imports in Austin in 2001.
Twenty-five years later, the house he built represents monastery breweries with a millennium of history, the world's oldest lambic cellar, England's most storied cider makers and Central America's proudest lager — with a team whose relationships run just as deep.
