Gulf Coast Distilleries has opened a taproom and brewery for its brand Tejas Beer at the former site of Buffalo Bayou Brewing Co., staff at the revitalized venue confirmed.

In case you missed it

Community Impact reported in May that city records indicated the distillery purchased the three-story site at Sawyer Yards. At the time, they could not be reached for comment.

What to expect

Just west of downtown, the 28,000-square-foot space offers a rooftop with views of Houston’s skyline, event spaces, an on-site brewery and tap room, according to the business’s website.
