Evans and Angell brewed beers in their garages for years before they decided to open a business, Evans said. A mutual friend then connected them with Cleaver and Dornik, who were homebrewers also looking to open a brewery. They moved into the Porter property in December 2019 and have been working to open the brewery since.
The taproom will feature a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, food trucks and a small selection of wines from a Texas winery. Angell said they want the family-friendly taproom to make patrons feel relaxed and comfortable.
“We're looking to make a place that's comfortable for people to come and just hang out," he said.
When it opens, the brewery will have 10-12 of its beers on tap, but Evans said they hope to offer 15-17 rotating and seasonal beers in the future. Some DECA Brew Co. brew styles will include stouts, India pale ales, berliner weisses, and blonde and brown ales. www.facebook.com/decabeer
