Stave Beer & Wine House in New Braunfels is closing its doors.

The details

Owner Clayton Hennigan announced the closure due to financial difficulties intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and rising inflation. Hennigan, who has been in the beer industry since 2015, expressed both sadness and gratitude as he prepares to shut down the business he opened in November 2019.

“It’s been incredibly tough,” Hennigan said. “Opening just before the pandemic was a rough start. ... The ongoing inflation made it hard to keep up with costs."

Hennigan expressed deep appreciation and affection for the business' patrons throughout the years, who he said made the tavern their "home away from home."


"I'm incredibly thankful for this experience and for the amazing friends I've made," Hennigan said.
