WACO, McLennan County — Bare Arms Brewery, the oldest brewing in Waco, will be moving to a new location not too far from where they are currently located.
Announced on Wednesday, Sept. 4, the brewery's new location will be in The Heights Garden development at 3800 Loop 340 on the South side of Highway 6 between Old Robinson Road and Highway 77. It's estimated that the build will take about six months and has a chance to open at the start of 2025.
“We are delighted Bare Arms Brewing has chosen Robinson to call home," said Bert Echterling, Mayor of Robinson. "The Heights is located at Robinson’s front door and welcomes everyone to our community. Having Bare Arms be a part of that development gives our community something truly unique. Robinson is no longer the sleepy rural farming community; we have one of Greater Waco’s highest median household income and median property values, and with the addition of the new Business Park, The Heights, and several new businesses like Bare Arms Brewing, Robinson is a great place to call home!”
The 10,000 square-foot build for the new location will be done in collaboration with Triliji Group and Dwell Construction. Until the build is completed, Bare Arms Brewing will continue their normal operations in Waco at their current location.
“We now have the opportunity to build from scratch and get everything we want – an air-conditioned brewhouse, commercial kitchen, inviting taproom, outdoor dining, and an extensive beer garden. We plan to give Waco an upscale but casual place to call their home-away-from-home where everyone knows your name. It’s not a chain, and it’s not so fancy that you’ll only go on special occasions – something missing in the Waco market,” said Owner and Brew Master of Bare Arms Brewing Kevin Yackley.
“We welcome Bare Arms to the Triliji family and are excited about the future of The Heights. A brewery rounded out our offering, and we are delighted that Kevin and Jill will be able to expand their operations and serve the growing community of Robinson, Texas, and the new Robinson Business Park, which will be home to Walmart’s milk processing plant and Tesla’s metal finishing supplier.” says Jimmy Banks, broker of Triliji Group.
