Treaty Oak expands to include new brewery

A Dripping Springs area distilling company is trying its hand at brewing.

Earlier this month, the Treaty Oak Brewing and Distilling Co. in Dripping Springs opened a brewery that is slated to produce 2,000 barrels, or roughly 27,500 cases of beer per year, according to a press release.

Chris Lamb, former Treaty Oak head distiller, has assumed the role of the company’s new brew master. According to the company, the fermentation process of the beer is also a primary component in the production of the company’s “core spirits,” which are rum and whiskey.
