E-Malt.com News article: USA, TX: Live Oak Brewing Company to break ground on new facility
Brewery news

To celebrate the future home of the Live Oak Brewing Company (LOBC), owner Dr. Chip McElroy, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on December 3, 2014 at the new site in coordination with Commerce National Bank, Capital CDC, Structura General Contractors, Big Red Dog, OPA Design and American Realty, brewbound.com reported on December, 3.

Live Oak Brewing Company plans to erect a 22,000 SF building on the site to house the new brewery which will include a custom German-built brewhouse, millroom, lab, cold storage and distribution facilities. And, for the first time in their 17 year history, Live Oak will be packaging their products in a convenient 12 oz can. “We didn’t want to rush into anything,” explained McElroy. New state laws give Live Oak the opportunity to showcase their brewery in a retail setting.

Currently, Live Oak Brewing Company makes a total of 16 beers that are distributed by beer distributors in the greater Houston area and self-distributed throughout Austin, Central Texas, San Antonio and the DFW area to restaurants, bars, and off-premises retailers. With the addition of the canning line, LOBC plans to expand distribution to grocery, convenience and package stores in the fourth quarter of 2015.
