Starbase Brewing Expands Across Texas with Favorite Brands Partnership

Starbase Brewing is excited to announce a major expansion into six key Texas markets — Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, College Station, and Amarillo — through a new partnership with Favorite Brands. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Starbase as it teams up with one of Texas’ premier family-owned distributors to bring its cosmic brews to a broader audience across the state.  

Favorite Brands, established by the LaMantia family in 2011, is a leading distributor of craft beer, fine wines, and spirits, with a robust presence across Texas and New Mexico. Headquartered in Farmers Branch and operating 13 warehouses with over 1,200 employees, Favorite Brands has built a reputation for excellence in distributing high-quality beverages to major metropolitan areas and beyond. With a legacy rooted in the Texas beverage industry since 1978, when the LaMantias founded L&F Distributors, the company now serves markets all across Texas. 

This partnership enables Starbase Brewing to introduce its distinctive beers to beer enthusiasts in these vibrant Texas cities, leveraging Favorite Brands’ extensive distribution network and deep industry expertise. The expansion reflects Starbase’s commitment to sharing its passion for bold, creative brewing with more Texans, from urban hubs to the High Plains. Customers in these markets can soon expect to find Starbase’s offerings at local retailers, bars, and restaurants, broadening the brewery’s footprint beyond its Austin origins.  

The move into Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, College Station, and Amarillo represents a strategic step for Starbase Brewing as it continues to grow within the competitive Texas craft beer scene. Favorite Brands’ dedication to quality and customer service complements Starbase’s mission to deliver exceptional beers that inspire curiosity and celebration. This collaboration promises to make Starbase a household name among Texas beer lovers, offering them a taste of Mars in every pour.
