USA, TX: Nueces Brewing Co. eyeing opening in downtown Corpus Christi

A new microbrewery is popping up in downtown Corpus Christi with the outdoors and day drinking in mind, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported on July 6.

And don't worry, you're not going to be left with that "drunk face feeling."

Nueces Brewing Co., a microbrewery, is in the planning and design phase at 401 S. Water Street, according to its Facebook page.

"Our satisfying lagers will be made for people like you and your friends. Being from the Gulf Coast ourselves, we came to the realization that we need a craft beer that is drinkable when we go fishing all day, or surfing, or kite-boarding," the page read. "We do not want a beer that gives us that bloated, drunk face feeling; we want something light, crisp, and refreshing that is perfect for when we #goplayoutside."

According to the design schematics, the brewery will have an outdoor patio with spaces for food trucks. A large room in the back is designed for brewery production and a tasting room will be in the front with the entrance at S. Water Street and Born Street.

The building is owned by Stonewater Properties. Corpus Christi's Development Services department issued building permits for a tenant to finish Nueces Brewing Company in May.

The process is still early as building inspections have not started.
