About the Scholarship

Walt Powell was passionate about great beer. As co-founder of Flix Brewhouse, he brought to life the only first-run cinema microbrewery in the world and made it an over-the-top success. Creative and innovative, Walt conceived of Firkin Fest, which brought together a dozen craft breweries from across Texas for an amazing day of great beer and great fellowship.

Walt was a founder and administrator for Rate Beer, an Internet community of lovers and critics of fine beer.
