Revolution Rum may not be going in here. The address listed on their website shows 2201 Dallas Street, across from the East Village complex.

 

I could be wrong, but I think the unnamed distillery shown is another project of Morgan Weber's. Earlier this year, Weber filed a LLC for a distillery. And looking at the plan with Weber and Pera's Agricole Hospitality as a confirmed tenant, alongside the distillery next to their upcoming restaurant, it makes sense.

 

I suppose none of us will know for sure until Weber and Pera announce it. I would contact their PR if my site was up and running (it's currently down), but they'd probably deny it as they did when I reported on their plans to open a bar (Eight Row Flint) for Eater a few years ago.

 

I'm leaning more towards the possibility that the distillery depicted in the site plan belongs to Agricole Hospitality  ( Ryan Pera and Morgan Weber ).

 

In April, Weber filed a limited liability corporation for Indianola Distilling. The listed address for the registered agent is 2119 Dallas, Suite B, shared by East Village developer Ancorian. The address, as shown on a map, matches up with the site plan for East Village.

I need a rolling deck to play shuffleboard (this kind). Maybe they figured that and the installation of hydraulics to simulate a rocking ocean liner would be too great?

 

They should consider going the seedy bar route and install some bar style shuffleboard tables.

The green cross signage in the rendering of Agricole's new place is a play off Farmacia signage in Europe.  Don't be surprised if they somehow pull this in as part of the branding into their "storyline" of European meets Texas via Indianola. 

 

Also of note, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell filed a LLC at his address in Kentucky for Indianola Distilling just a few months ago so he is likely contracted to help get it up and running.

Heard earlier this year that Weber was seeking private investors for his bourbon distillery concept and the associated 3 sub brands with other spirits they might produce.    He and Dougherty of Ancorian were up in Kentucky this past week and were with Pickerell at least part of the time, per social media.

A new brewery literally a block from 8th Wonder? I'm starting to wonder how many craft breweries this city can absorb...

Have you been Portland?  With all the residential downtown and east downtown these breweries should be fine long as they make good beer.

Generally, anything east of St. Emanuel is unaffected.  

 

If by unaffected, you mean won't be bulldozed. The businesses over here will absolutely be hurt during the years of construction adjacent to them.

 

In the long run, they'll be fine, as the area will only get better if they put a park on top of 59. Its just a question of holding power.

It will be harder to determine exactly what the feel of the area will be after the 45 reroute. All the new bars and restaurants in this area will now be immediately facing a massive freeway. And of course everything on the other side of St.E will be demolished. The noise and visual blight may be enough to kill this part of town.

will now be immediately facing a massive freeway underneath a park..  If that park happens it will be a great thing for Eado.  Klyde Warren didn't exactly kill that part of Dallas.

I’m not saying you have to be a sunshine pumpers but geez. Calling this pesamistic would be offensive to pessimist. 

 

If  ,and it’s a big if, the park happens it will only add to the area not kill it. Once an area is determined to be a entertainment area (by community not developers) it’s not just gonna die. If current business’ don’t make it others will come in.

Admittedly, I am pretty pessimistic for this specific area. The East Village project won't be directly facing the cap and cover park (which looks to start at Lamar St), and it will be losing Polk St connectivity to the GRB. It's also important to keep in mind that Klyde Warren Park was anchored on both sides by high rises, hotels, and cultural institutions. EaDo is still a lot of old warehouses with spatters of townhome farms.

Lots of momentum in this area and a lot of it is now coming from very established proprietors. Construction will certainly have some affect but Polk through street isn't going anywhere and it's looking more and more likely that the park will be a reality. Don't be shocked to hear of yet unannounced multi family and hospitality developments too.

There was an old Ferris wheel back there but since my last visit I haven’t seen it. Anyone know what’s up?

They said they took it down for a tune-up, but it is going to be back. This is how they responded to someone’s same question on Facebook.

Confirmed. Houston brewery True Anomaly Brewing is opening in East Village in EaDo.


From Houston Business Journal today:
 

Several new concepts are on tap for the East Village mixed-use development, including a new brewery that was founded by four current and former NASA employees.

True Anomaly Brewing will open in roughly 8,000 square feet at 2012 Dallas St. in Ancorian's East Village development. The brewery will likely open in September or October, Michael Duckworth, one of the brewery's co-founders, told the Houston Business Journal. The brewery will focus on hoppy ales, Belgian-inspired ales and wild and sour ales, Duckworth said.

It'll also pull from the co-founders experiences at NASA. Even the name itself, True Anomaly, is a phrase used in celestial mechanics to refer to the position of a body moving in orbit. The brewery was originally founded as Apogee Brewing Co. – the word "apogee" refers to the highest position of orbit from Earth.

"We’re definitely going to pull on the space theme," Duckworth said. "We’d like to be a little more nuanced."

True Anomaly Brewing has been hunting for space inside the Loop for several months. The four founders have been home brewing for about the past decade, taking their beers to chili cook-offs and conferences in the Houston area. And in around four to five months, the brewery should be able to be sold in bars around Houston. The co-founders are still finalizing licensing, Duckworth said.

True Anomaly will open a block away from 8th Wonder Brewery and in the second phase of the East Village development.

Since the news of the highway reconstruction, I didn't think anyone would invest on the west side of St. Emanuel. Good for the area.
