A company with a beer called Balcones Fault Bat's Breath Bock should never go out of business, though it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like Oro de Calabaza does.

It appears that after Hill Country went under or were unable to handle the manufacturing aspect Great Grains Brewery in Dallas contracted out their beer. Great Grains also went bust as seems to be the trend for many of these small breweries that take on board other failed companies.
