Coming in 2009... |

We won the bid on this former HISD Food Service building in October 2007, and closed on the purchase of the building in June, 2008. The three story brick facility was originally contstructed in 1914. The redevelopment effort is expected to take a year and cost a total of almost $6 million. |

New Brewery Entrance
We will have a new entrance built at this location on the north side of the building. From this point, you will either walk a flight of stairs or take the elevator to the 2nd floor to our brand new tasting area! With broad windows overlooking the tank farm and brewhouse, you will be enchanted by our version of a German Biergarten. Prosit!

Future 2nd Floor Tour Hall & 3rd Floor Rooftop View
Large windows on the east walls of this vast hall will allow you to view all of our tanks and brewhouse. The 2nd floor tour hall is air-conditioned and features plenty of bathrooms! The new biergarten inspired space will be a perfect setting for our world famous tours and events. The picture on the right was taken from the roof of the 3rd floor and shows off Houston's impressive skyline. Minute Maid Park is on the left and if you squint you can see Lance Berkman cranking a home run into the Crawford Boxes. There is no rooftop access from the 2nd floor.

Future Packaging Floor
The expansive first floor will be the location of our bottling & kegging operations as well as grain & cold box storage. We will move our current bottling line with us to the new building. For kegging, we have purchased a brand new kegging line to be installed in the new building.

Future Brewhouse & Tank Farm (left) & backside (right)
The brewhouse and tank farm will all be housed in a new addition built onto the east side of the property where a parking lot and loading dock now sits. Our new brewery will feature a brewhouse (beer making equipment) purchased from a closed brewery in a Bavarian monastery. The backside of the building is right up against railroad tracks that are still in use and faces a park with a softball diamond and a basketball court.
