Black Star Co-op

Black Star Co-op is the world's first cooperatively owned and worker self-managed brewpub, established to serve the community of Austin, Texas. Founded in January 2006, it emerged from a vision shared by a group of local residents who sought to create a neighborhood pub and brewery that reflects their values and needs.

With co-founders Steven Yarak, Jeff Young, and Johnny Livesay at the helm, Black Star Co-op emphasizes a unique business model centered on community ownership and cooperation. This innovative approach allows member-owners to play an active role in the brewpub's operations and decision-making processes.
