East Dallas Brewing Co. no longer in development
Image credit: East Dallas Brewing Co. The principals behind the highly-anticipated East Dallas Brewing Co. have decided to cease development on the venture which had targeted the city's popular Lower Greenville neighborhood. First announced in early 2024 by a founding group consisting of John Mitchell, Michael Stone and Andrew Huerter, the company had begun to introduce itself by way of collaborations with Lakewood Brewing Co. and Intrinsic Smokehouse & Brewery, both of Garland. From there, East Dallas last poured preview beers at the 2025 Big Texas Beer Fest. As for the future, Huerter currently has eyes on a new beer project, the details of which will be revealed once due diligence has been completed. Prior to more recent stints with Oak Highlands Brewery of Dallas and Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. of Fort Worth, Huerter was the head brewer at BrainDead Brewing of Dallas, which closed in November 2021.

Podere L’Assunta - Costa del Pievano Toscana IGT 2020
di Stefano Tesi Chi pensa che un contradaiolo non possa avere (ipse Giacomo Sensi dixit) un approccio illuministico al vino dovrà ricredersi: questo Sangiovese 100% fatto in bio a 400 mt sulle colline senesi, fermentato in acciaio e affinato due anni in botti da 10 hl. E' buono, bello, elegante e piacerebbe pure a Diderot.

Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D. A new craft kitchen with "loaded taps" is encouraging patrons to make pour decisions, now that it's open in a recently-built retail center at 8575 W.
