This single-story warehouse building at 2202 Dallas St. will be the home of a new craft brewery founded by Houston food-truck veterans the Eatsie Boys. The 5,000-sq.-ft. building at the corner of Hutchins is near the site of Dynamo Stadium and a short walk to Minute Maid Park, but the brewery will be named after the empty and forlorn former home of the Astros further south: 8th Wonder Brewery. When the lease was signed in April, there was a different name behind it. But “Heady Brewing Company” ran into a few trademark issues, so they’re going with the Dome. The buildout should be complete at the end of this year, with the first 8th Wonder beers appearing around town in 2012.

Cool!
Was it designed by a noted Houston architect? LOL

(Relax, I love the MCM, but when I saw this picture it was the first thing I thought of)
Good luck to the Eatsie Boys! Cool location for the brewery and we love the name!

This district might become the big-box version of Washington without the dense residential, allowing for super-sized music, events and funky foodie venues.
If the Dome is pictured on the label, this will become my exclusive brew!
Nice! This is exciting news.
@n8d0g – I was just thinking the same thing!
Well obviously. Good branding is the deciding factor where good beer is concerned.
