USA, TX: Senate Avenue Brewing Company hoping to launch in Jersey Village in late June or early July

In his free time over the last two years, Jersey Village Mayor Andrew Mitcham has been working toward opening a brewery in his hometown. He said he plans to open Senate Avenue Brewing Company in late June or early July at the corner of Senate Avenue and Dillard Drive, the Community Impact Newspaper reported on June 2.

The Jersey Village native said he is excited to bring the city a unique business that can cater both to its retired population and to the growing demographic of young families moving to the area.

“I’ve been involved in the local community since I was a kid, and just over the years that I’ve been involved, there has always been a lack of quality restaurants and community gathering spaces,” he said.

What started as a vision for a small operation developed into something bigger over the last two years as Mitcham said he realized the need for this type of business in his neighborhood.

About five years ago, Mitcham founded a neighborhood group called Dads, Driveways and Drafts. He said as many as 50-100 dads in the Jersey Village area meet once a month in a local driveway to sample and bond over craft beers.
