Freetail Brewing rolls out the barrels in location

SAN ANTONIO – Construction is currently underway on Freetail Brewing Co.’s second location, a 30,000-sf brewery that will have the initial capacity to brew 6,000 barrels of beer annually. The brewery will have the space to scale up production to about 60,000 barrels annually.

Scott Metzger, founder and CEO of Freetail, says that the facility is about 50 percent complete and the company expects to be making beer in early June 2014.

Freetail’s craft beers are expected to hit the market in 22-ounce bombers by mid-summer in the San Antonio area and surrounding counties. Freetail looks to sell beer in cans by the fall.

San Antonio’s Freetail Brewing Co. has partnered with Silver Eagle Distributors, which will be the exclusive wholesaler of the brewery’s products.
