E-Malt.com News article: USA, TX: New brewery to open in Northern Houston, Texas

Houston craft beer lovers will soon have another local brewery to try out.

Spindle Tap Brewery LLC, which does business as SpindleTap Brewery, plans to open a new brewery in September, co-founder Cameron Banks told the Houston Business Journal on May 20.

“The brewery will be located on part of a 70,000-square-foot warehouse at 10622 Hirsch Road, Houston, which is also the headquarters of Houston-based Lightning Logistics, a trucking company that focuses on the oil and gas industry,” Banks said. “Initially, the brewery will use 10,000 square feet of the space but has the ability to expand as needed.”

Houston and Texas' craft beer scene has been on the rise since recent legislation was passed that made it easier for breweries to start and flourish. For SpindleTap, that's part of the reason it got started.

"In Houston, although there's a rapidly emerging (craft beer) scene, it's still relatively tiny," Banks said.
