Bare Arms Brewing Expands with New Location
Bare Arms Brewing, a well-known name in Waco’s craft beer community, has exciting news: they are moving to a new location that promises to enhance the experience for beer enthusiasts. This decision marks a thrilling new chapter in the brewery's journey as they approach their tenth anniversary, celebrating significant milestones under the dedicated leadership of Kevin Yackley and Jill King.
A New Era for Bare Arms Brewing
In collaboration with Triliji Group and Dwell Construction, Bare Arms Brewing is preparing to open a brand new, expansive 10,000-square-foot facility. This new space will feature a welcoming outdoor patio and a large beer garden. As a beloved local brewery that has consistently earned top honors from Locals Love Us and Waco Tribune-Herald, Bare Arms is elevating its offerings by creating an upscale brewery and restaurant. Patrons can expect an impressive array of over 20 craft beers, premium wines, innovative cocktails, and a full-service commercial kitchen that will deliver unique culinary experiences.
Transforming Waco’s Brewery Landscape
Kevin Yackley shared his excitement about this new project, noting that their current location has limited their vision due to the constraints of a building from the 1960s. "This new site gives us a blank canvas to create the brewery of our dreams. Our goal is to build a place where guests can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere while feeling like they’re part of a close-knit community," Yackley explained. The new brewery concept aims to maintain its status as a local favorite while also appealing to more residents in the surrounding areas.
Robinson Welcomes a New Gem
The new brewery will be conveniently located within The Heights Development, making it easily accessible for both locals and visitors. Mayor Bert Echterling expressed his enthusiasm regarding Bare Arms Brewing's decision to establish itself in Robinson, emphasizing the project's potential to revitalize the local community and provide enriching experiences for residents.
Partnering for Success
The partnership with Triliji Group and Dwell Construction exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to developing community-focused businesses in the area. With a strong track record of successful projects, including notable venues like The Heights, Triliji brings essential expertise in commercial development. Dwell Construction, known for its solid reputation in both home and commercial construction, will manage the building of this new brewery, ensuring it meets the high standards expected by the community and the brewery itself, as stated by President Travis Francis.
What’s Next for Bare Arms Brewing?
Construction is expected to take around six months, with plans to open shortly after the New Year. In the meantime, Bare Arms will continue to operate from their current Waco location, and fans are encouraged to follow their journey on social media for updates. The excitement surrounding this new venture goes beyond just opening a brewery; it’s about creating a space that fosters connections and unforgettable experiences.
