Located at 1605 E. New Hope Dr<\/a>., the project will serve as a new hospitality destination for residents throughout Cedar Park, Leander, and the greater Williamson County region.<\/span><\/p>\n The project marks a significant milestone for the Texas-born brewery and hospitality brand, combining expanded production capabilities with a full-service Pinthouse Pizza experience \u2014 including the company\u2019s first-ever dedicated outdoor beer garden.<\/span><\/p>\n Designed to support growing demand for Pinthouse beer across Central Texas and beyond, the new facility will increase brewing capacity while serving as a community-driven gathering place for Cedar Park and Leander residents. Guests can expect the same hop-forward beers, handcrafted pizzas and energetic atmosphere that have made Pinthouse one of Texas\u2019 most celebrated brewpub brands, now paired with an expansive outdoor space built for liveable, all-day hospitality.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve watched Williamson County continue to grow and evolve over the years, and we\u2019re incredibly excited to finally bring Pinthouse to the Cedar Park community,\u201d says Kyle Detrick, President of Retail Operations for Pinthouse. \u201cThis project allows us to expand our brewing capabilities while creating one of the most ambitious hospitality spaces we\u2019ve ever built. The outdoor beer garden especially is something we\u2019ve wanted to do for a long time, and we think it\u2019s going to become a true gathering place for the community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to increasing production for fresh cans and kegs throughout the region, the new location represents Pinthouse\u2019s continued evolution from a single Austin brewpub into one of the most recognized craft brewery brands in Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n The Cedar Park development will also bring together several longtime leaders in the Texas hospitality scene. Pinthouse will join concepts from the Jack Allen\u2019s Restaurant Group, including new locations of Salt Traders Coastal Cooking and Day Maker Half Day Cafe.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBeing able to grow alongside teams at Salt Traders and Day Maker who we\u2019ve respected for years makes this expansion even more special,\u201d Detrick added. \u201cWe\u2019ve always valued the collaborative spirit of the Texas food and beverage industry, and are excited to be part of creating a destination that brings together several great local brands in one place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Founded in Austin in 2012 by six friends, Pinthouse has grown into a nationally recognized brewery and restaurant group known for award-winning beers and Austin-style pizzas. In 2024, Pinthouse was named the #1 brewpub in the United States by beer production volume, while its flagship Electric Jellyfish earned recognition as the #1 beer in the country in 2025. Most recently, the brewery led the 2026 Texas Craft Brewers Cup with five medals \u2014 the most awarded to any brewery in the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n Additional project details can be found via the <\/span>Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation<\/span><\/a> and construction updates will be shared in the coming months.<\/span> For more information about Pinthouse, visit <\/span>www.pinthouse.com<\/span><\/a> or follow <\/span>@pinthousebrewing<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>@pinthousepizza<\/span><\/a> on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
