Platypus Brewing poured its final pints May 31.
The Australian-inspired brewery, bar and restaurant at 1902 Washington Ave., Houston, closed after nearly ten years in business, according to the business and its owners. Owners cited the end of the brewery’s lease as the reason for the closure.
The details
Platypus Brewing had been open for nearly 10 years, according to the brewery's Facebook post announcing the closure.
The brewery was known for its craft beer, full bar, restaurant menu and Australian-influenced dishes. The brewery’s website describes the business as “brewed with Texan heart and Australian soul.”
Before closing, the brewery hosted several final events, including its last steak night, happy hour specials, fish and chips, a final Saturday DJ night and closing day Beer Olympics, according to its website.
The owners have also hinted that another project is in the works, though additional details have not been announced.
“And there is a next chapter. Behind the scenes, something new is already in the works building on what we’ve started here. We’re excited to share more soon,” the Facebook post stated.
