San Antonio’s Künstler Brewing recently collaborated with Michelin Star-winning Mixtli on a limited-edition milk stout, La Cabrona, which dropped over the weekend. A few days later, the popular brewery announced the end of its time in the downtown area.
“We opened our doors full of sunshine, steins, and big dreams… and two weeks later, the bulldozers rolled in. Three years of fences, tractor trailers, and dust later – we’ve decided it’s time to call it,” the business wrote on Facebook and Instagram. “Turns out it’s hard to compete with a never-ending construction zone (especially when you show up for work and realize the sidewalk’s disappeared).”
Künstler Tap Haus will hold its final service on Sunday, October 19, coordinating with San Antonio Beer Week festivities. The flagship Künstler Brewing location on East Lachapelle will continue to operate as usual.
“But here’s what’s next: we’re turning our focus fully back to our first home – making Künstler Brewing even better, even more connected, and even more us. We’ve always tried to listen and grow with our community, and that’s where our energy belongs,” the brewery wrote.
The closure of Künstler Tap Haus comes just weeks before one of the city’s largest events, Muertos Fest, is set to take over Hemisfair.
