More details about City Acre Brewing Co., the brewery the owners of this home adjacent to the Eastex Freeway just south of Parker Rd. plan to open late next year: Chron beer blogger Ronnie Crocker says Matt Schlabach and Meredith Borders had envisioned turning their 2,700-sq.-ft. home at 3421 Folger St. into a brewery when they bought it back in July 2009 for $210,000. The freeway-side oddity took 6 years to build and was completed way back in 1983. Schlabach’s vision: a bar taking over his foyer and guest bedroom in front; customers lounging on couches upstairs, sitting at tables on the front porch, or milling about the garden acreage.

It’s unique and could work just fine. I commend the effort! (I mean, I TOAST the effort, regardless of the fact it’s so far outside The Loop.)
Prost!
Second that Prost! Great idea, cool environment, take a taxi.
Enjoy Tennent’s in the turrets – I like it!
That is a really weird location. The house is nice, but there’s not much around it.
Good for beers on the way to/from Intergalactic Airport or soccer in Kingwood I guess. Great staircase btw.
Count me in. This is like 10 minutes from downtown.
