$18M McKinney Brewery to Open Doors

Tupps Brewery is preparing to open the doors of its new, spacious location in East McKinney’s historic mill district.

The brewery started in 2015 as a small garage project in McKinney, producing just three beers. Over the last nine years, the brewery has grown into a sizable business, with distribution spanning across much of Texas and into Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida. The new location at 402 East Louisiana St. offers the chance to produce more beer in a bigger space.

The new campus spans 60,000 square feet in what was once an old grain mill and includes a four-story, 25,000-square-foot production facility, an outdoor beer garden and a restaurant. A parking lot with room for up to 210 cars is also included on the six-acre site.

Last year, Tupps produced around 11,000 barrels of beer. The new facility pushes the brewer’s capacity to upward of 50,000 barrels, pending the addition of more tanks.
