E-Malt.com News article: USA, TX: Big Bend Brewing Co. breaks ground on new San Antonio brewery

An established Alpine-based beer company has officially broken ground on a San Antonio brewery on the East Side, the San Antonio Express-News reported on April 2.

Big Bend Brewing Co., which debuted in 2012, hopes to open its doors late this year at 1310 Cornerway Blvd., near the intersection of Interstate 10 and Loop 410. According to documents filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, construction of the new facility is estimated to cost $3 million.

The company makes beers with names inspired from the region it’s brewed, such as National Park (hefeweizen), Terlingua Gold (pale ale) and La Fontera (IPA). Big Bend also brews a line of Mexican-influenced lagers that are canned under the umbrella of the Tejas name.

According to its website, the San Antonio facility will feature a full tap room offering specialty beers as well as year-round offerings. Last week, Big Bend hosted a private event at the construction site, where industry workers were allowed to roller skate and sample suds on the fresh cement pad before construction intensified.
