Not far from my house, as it happens.
Startup Buffalo Bayou Brewing Co. will be located much closer to I-10 than to its namesake waterway, but founder Rassul Zarinfar says that’s by design. […] The company has leased a 7,800 sq. ft. warehouse at 5301 Nolda St., at the corner of Detering, in Cottage Grove.
Zarinfar tells Swamplot he was happy to find a location that wasn’t “on the outskirts of town in a super-corporate industrial project.” The company plans to hand-deliver all the kegs it brews themselves, so highway access mattered. Having a location people could easily walk or bike to was also important to him. “Plus,” Zarinfar adds, “we wanted a warehouse that didn’t feel too much like a warehouse, but instead more like an art studio (since beer is art!).”
See this earlier Swamplot post and the comment thread for more. The barebones website for the new place is here. Welcome to the ever–expanding brew club, y’all.
Rassul! We went to Rice together. He once threw orange juice at me from a balcony as a defense against water baloons. 🙂 He’s a good guy, I will definitely see about getting their beer at Valhalla. Yay beer.
