The taproom that was founded in 2019 by four partners who met at NASA shuttered due to the ongoing I-45 expansion, but in a new Instagram post, the team announced it will bring a selection of its signature beers to New Magnolia Brewing Co. by invitation.
“When we announced the taproom was closing, you really showed up for us. We’ve been working behind the scenes to figure out a way forward and we can finally share what’s next,” the partners wrote.
The partnership will begin production in the next few weeks with a launch of several True Anomaly signature beers, including Scout, Small Giant, Rocket Park, and Ben’s House, planned for later this year, according to the announcement.
True Anomaly hinted in the post that the collaboration with New Magnolia Brewing — which is located at 1616 Bevis St. — is the beginning of a mission to “figure out a way forward” in bringing its brand back to into to the city’s brewing community.
“The original taproom had something that can’t be bottled. But the beer can be,” the post said.
The original True Anomaly was located in Houston’s East Downtown art and entertainment district and one of the businesses driven out by the I-45 expansion.
“Over the past year we found ourselves caught in the path of the I-45 expansion while also working to open a second location nearby,” the company wrote on Instagram at the time. “Construction delays and shifting timelines pushed that project further and further out. We kept brewing and kept believing it would come together, but eventually the stars just stopped aligning.”
