What We Need & What You Get
We acquired our downtown Port Neches location in 2014 and have been diligently renovating the space to bring back the old time feel of its original state. We have removed walls, paint, windows, ceilings, and more in order to create an open air concept. We have invested our savings totaling around $25,000 into making this happen, and we are currently working with a $40,000 dollar business loan to finish our remodel. This money has purchased roll up garage doors, K13 insulation for the ceiling, unique wall coverings, new plumbing, electrical, seating, a metal building for the brew house, awning, new exterior paint, the addition of fixed pane windows, and a concrete bar build out, as well as duct work and air conditioning. A lot of these projects are in the process of being done now and should reach completion soon! We will continually post pictures as these projects reach completion. Below are some photos showing where we started and where we have progressed to.

We are reaching the point where we need to get our brewing equipment on order and in the process of being built. This requires a large down payment, and for shipping purposes, we must get it all at once. Stout Tanks requires a 75% deposit to begin production on our equipment. The money raised here will be directed towards the acquisition of the mentioned equipment. If we exceed our goal, we will then focus our efforts on purchasing kegerators, a walk-in cooler, or larger fermenters to handle growth. Below are some photos of the equipment we are going to be purchasing. We have chosen Stout Tanks to build our brewing equipment.
We will continually update our progress with new pictures as we finish projects that are in the works. We look forward to showing you the changes we have in store for our space!
