Looks like Mark Cannon at Eola School is looking to sell. For the unfamiliar: He bought an abandoned schoolhouse out in West Texas near San Angelo that once served a wide spot in the road called Eola, and converted it into a restaurant, hotel, and brewery, which he apparently runs as a one-man show. It'll be too bad if it goes under, because I never got out there to visit. Plus West Texans need good beer.Tip of the hat to Machuca and other Austin beer bloggers for tipping me off to the eBay listing.

I'm not so sure this is genuine, or a serious attempt to give up his business. I'd rather wait for confirmation.
I just talked to him on the phone. The eBay listing is indeed genuine. I asked if he's just looking to give up ownership and stay in management, or get out of the business altogether, and he said he's "looking at different options" and wants more free time.
Go for it! Live the dream!
Unfortunately, my dream does not involve living 25 miles east of San Angelo.
