This weekend there will be a new local brewing company inbrCorpus Christi! The two ‘brothers’ of the Nueces Brewing Company are officiallybropening their doors to the public this Saturday at noon. For nearly six yearsbrthey have been developing the space, crafting their hand-made selection ofbrbeers to fit everyone’s tastes, and developing an outdoor space for loungingbrand food truck services.
brbr
Brandon and Cale put everything they had into this project—completelybrgutting the space and redesigning the interior to fit the image they dreamed ofbrfor their brewery. They traveled for years to pick the perfect spot andbreventually landed on Corpus Christi. The two loved the influences of the beach,brrelaxed atmosphere, and Hispanic culture that filled the community. So they setbrtheir eyes on an older building at 401 S. Water St. and completely rebuilt itbrfrom the ground up.
brbr
To show some of their hard work on the place: they first beganbrconstruction later last year and had to strip all the stucco from the walls,brripped up the concrete floors to replace the plumbing in the brewing house, andbrthe structural frames for the front wall needed to be welded back with newbrsteel. Not to mention all the internal add-ons for their bar and backroombrbrewing center.
brbr
They managed to keep some of the original architecturebrpieces intact, like the front door and massive show room. Unfortunately, they lostbrsome of those older qualities, too. Most of the cobalt tiles they cherished frombrthe 50’s were destroyed in the rebuild process. To say the least, it was chaosbrfor them for some time!
brbr
Now, they have a beautiful building that is their pride andbrjoy. They put several years into the process and care of this place, and lookbrforward to sharing it with everyone this weekend.
brbr
Not to mention, they have a line of specially crafted beersbrthat will be perfect to have out on their 1,700 square foot deck. A perfectly timedbropening for the summer months!
brbr
They will be providing a Mexican lager that is light enoughbrto drink all day and packed with familiar flavors. They also have an easy tobrdrink IPA, and a salty-sweet combo that has a bit of cantaloupe taste for abrTexas version of a Gose.
brbr
This place really has something for everyone!
brbr
And just to remind you, they are located at 401 S. WaterbrSt., and will have their celebration right at noon on Saturday, June 22nd.brSo make sure you visit and talk with the creators of this new brewing spot!brThey truly are a pair of dedicated and inspiring individuals.
