New Republic Brewing Company 3rd Anniversary Party - 5/3

Dean and Adrienne Brundage and John and Lisa Januskey are celebrating the third birthday of their College Station brewery, New Republic Brewing Company, with a party at the brewery on May 3. Tickets are available on their website.

They've done very well over the last three years. They have expanded production from 2500 gallons a year to 155,000 gallons a year. The beer is now distributed in parts of Houston as well as College Station, and they are now bottling their beer.

New Republic Brewery, Bryan, TX

If you are just joining me, I have a Twitter account that I use to follow a bunch of fellow beer lovers in Texas as well as any of the breweries I can find. Everyday I get an email someone new is following me, and so I check them out to see if I am interested in following them. Today I discovered brewery in the planning stages, New Republic Brewery in Bryan, Texas. Naturally I am now following them!

Currently, NRB is looking for a location in Bryan so they can start the Federal permit application process. The state won't license them unless they have a Federal permit. And they can't get a Federal permit until they have a location and a brewery plan. So, naturally, they are hip deep in red tape.

Good luck, guys! Keep us posted!
