Nationwide, more than 300 brewpubs and breweries have shut down since 1996, the year sales peaked for the largest specialty brewers. The small guys have been hurt by inconsistent quality among the specialty brews and tough competition beer from large producers. . But surviving microbrewers remain upbeat.

Today's scheduled exhumation from Granbury Cemetery and subsequa DNA testing comes at the request of two of James' reputed descendants. If their hunch is true, it would mean that the famous bandit wasl southwest of Fort Worth at age 104. The exhumation order by Hood County Judge Linda Steen in Marcher T was always despite DNA testing of remains in 1995 from a grave identified by historiafip I made his fi and relatives as James' grave in Kearney, Mo. | JLeighth grai Clir Results from that 1995 test are consistent with what as known of theft century outlaw, experts have said. James, according to historians, died at the hands of Bob Ford on April 1882, in St. Joseph, Mo. However, others believe James faked his apparent death in Missourit elude authorities as he moved to Texas under the assumed name of J, Dalton. Dalton died in 1951. One theory goes that the famous outlaw, his brother Frank and Ford all conspired to get rid of a fellow gang member and collect reward offered for Jesse James. One man who rode with the gang, Charlie Bigelow, resembled James delighted in passing himself off as the famous outlaw. The gang's plain® said to have worked, with members collecting the reward and dividing among themselves.
