E-Malt.com News article: USA, MI: Texas Corners Brewing Co. to open in Texas Township

A Mattawan-area family that has seen three decades of success in farming is months away from opening a farm-to-table restaurant and microbrewery in Texas Township, mlive.com reported on November, 28.

The Schultz family, owners of Schultz Fruitridge Farms Inc., plan to open Texas Corners Brewing Co. in the former Christ the King church, in Texas Township in the next two to three months, said Bill Schultz.

Schultz farms full-time with his brother, Dan, and parents Bill and Denise on the farm started by his grandparents in 1951.

Schultz, 32, said the business owners are waiting to receive their microbrewer's license and plan to open the farm-to-table restaurant and microbrewery with their own beer.

Schultz said the restaurant will have 12 beers and ciders on tap.

The Schultzes will brew their beer at the farm.

Texas Corners Brewing Co. is one of three microbreweries in the works in Kalamazoo County. Others are on the horizon. Brite Eyes Brewing Co. is setting up shop in Kalamazoo and Distant Whistle Brewhouse is proposed to open in downtown Vicksburg. One Well Brewing was to open by the end of November in Kalamazoo's Milwood neighborhood.

The microbreweries join 14 microbreweries or brewpubs in Kalamazoo County.
