Some news and info from Hops & Grain via a press release (chopped up by me):

The brewery plans to occupy an industrial warehouse space in East Austin. …. With an initial maximum production capacity of 3,000 barrels, Hops and Grain plans to add equipment as necessary to increase production and meet demand with emphasis on controlled growth. Initial plans are to produce one ale that will be available in 12 oz. cans, and other ales and lagers available on draft and in seasonal 22 oz glass bottles. …. Monthly events will be held at the brewery with complimentary tastings and tours.

…. Providing craft beer in cans follows along with the brewery’s concern for our environmental impact and fits in with Austin’s environmentally conscious attitude. …. Cans provide countless benefits over glass and Hops and Grain is excited to provide our craft ales in cans. “With less waste and reduced shipping weight we minimize our carbon footprint and further our devotion to our core mission to provide a truly unique experience with the consumption of our craft products.”

With a relatively low start-­‐up cost and a large market of craft beer enthusiasts in Austin, Hops and Grain plans for a consistent return to each of its owner/investors. A passion for becoming a more sustainable business and innovative marketing and sales strategies will allow Hops and Grain to realize extensive growth in both the local and regional markets. Hops and Grain is seeking $250,000 in investment capital with $70,000 currently committed. …. Interested investors can request an investment offering packet from Josh Hare at josh@hopsandgrain.com.

…. Each beer that is brewed and each batch of dog treats baked is made with sustainability in mind. In every aspect of production Hops and Grain is finding ways to make this craft friendlier to the environment. From recycling steam to using spent barley malt for dog treats, Hops and Grain understands the impact that each of us makes daily and makes business decisions with the environment in mind.

Come on people. Invest. I need and want more beer to drink.
