Drywall is going up—and wow, what a transformation.

For the first time, you can really feel the scale of what this place is becoming. The vision is turning into something real, and it’s even bigger than we imagined.

Exciting times ahead—we’re getting closer every day. 🍻

Progress!!! The brewery floor is in, drywall is going up, and the brewhouse is officially underway. Every day we’re one step closer.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend—we can’t wait for the day we’re spending ours with you. Cheers! 🍻

Last night, Bare Arms Brewing was featured on KWTX News 10, and we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share an update on the new brewery. Thank you to the KWTX team for shining a light on our journey and the progress we are making.

While the interview focused on the permitting process, the reality is that this project has come with many challenges behind the scenes. Building something meaningful is never just one hurdle—it’s a series of them, and this one has truly tested our patience, persistence, and resilience.

What hasn’t changed is our commitment. Beer is our passion, great food belongs alongside great craft beer, and creating a place where our community can come together is what this new location is all about.

We are deeply grateful for the encouragement, support, and belief so many of you have shown us—both physically and emotionally. We are pushing forward, and we will get this across the finish line. 🍻

The owners of Bare Arms Brewing gave me an update on progress at their new , Texas, location and discussed the obstacles they are working to overcome. Details: kwtx.com/2026/01/29/bare-arms-brewing-gives-update-opening-new-robinson-location-after-months-long-delays/

We can’t believe a year has already passed. One year ago today, we broke ground, hopeful we would be open in the spring. Spring turned into fall, fall turned into winter—and now we’re still hopeful for spring… we just didn’t know which year. 😉

We want to sincerely thank The Greater Robinson Chamber of Commerce, Greater Hewitt Chamber of Commerce, and Greater Waco Chamber for continuing to support us. We are continually humbled by the encouragement from both past and future friends of Bare Arms. You all have been amazing and truly keep us going. Cheers🍻

Goodbye 2025… Hello 2026. 🍻🎉

We won’t pretend 2025 was our finest year. We entered the year optimistic and ready to take on a whole new adventure, but—as many of you have witnessed—progress hasn’t exactly matched the size of the building that’s been standing there for the past eight months.

It’s been frustrating, demoralizing, and frankly costly to remain closed this long. Patience has been tested. Extensively. At this point, sainthood feels like a reasonable next step.

That said, there was progress before the holidays. Windows and garage doors are in. The site permit was issued, interior plans were submitted, and we received city feedback prior to year-end. We’re hopeful those final issues will be resolved shortly after everyone is back at work in the new year. Fingers crossed that 2026 brings momentum instead of more disappointment.

We know many of you are asking about an opening date. We don’t have one just yet, but as soon as we do, you’ll be the first to know. We’re excited to start sharing more frequent (and more fun) updates as progress resumes. Our recent silence wasn’t for lack of effort—there simply wasn’t any news to share. Doubts crept in at times, but those have faded. Hope is back, and 2026 already feels different.

We’d also like to take a moment to thank the people who never wavered:

- Marc Moberg, General Manager, and Nick Woolf, Head Brewer—thank you for sticking with us through a very long year. Your commitment means everything.
- Greg May- Mayor of City of Robinson, TX, for staying vigilant and helping move this project back on track.
- Travis Francis, our contractor, and Jimmy Banks, project developer—for refusing to give up, even when the odds tried their best.

Tonight, let’s ring in the New Year, clink our glasses, and toast to a successful, forward-moving 2026. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the new brewery. 🍺✨🥳

🎙️ We had an absolute blast sitting down with Erica Boisvert from What’s Up Waco!

We finally got to share a bit about our big dreams—the ones that have been on hold while construction hit a few bumps in the road. 👷‍♂️🚧

The great news - some amazing local and state officials stepped in to help clear the logjam and get things moving again. 🙌 We can’t thank them enough for making real progress possible!

We’re keeping our fingers (and toes!) crossed that the momentum keeps rolling. 🤞

🎧 Give it a listen — we had such a fun time chatting with Erica!

It’s been a little while since we’ve shared an update, and we know the #1 question on everyone’s mind is: “When are we opening?”
Truth is—we wish we knew, too!

In the meantime, we had the chance to sit down with on his show today to share what’s happening with our new building and what’s ahead.

🎉Waco’s Oldest Brewery Turns 10! 🍻

It’s wild to think what a difference a decade makes. From launching Bare Arms Brewing in June 2015 to raising the walls of our new building in June 2025 — what a ride it’s been!

We took a stroll down memory lane through our Facebook feed and pulled some of the highlights that made us smile, laugh, and even tear up a little. ❤️

Along the way, we've poured more than just beer — we’ve built friendships, shared stories, and made memories with some incredible people. We love you all and miss you like crazy. Soon, we’ll raise a glass in the new place. Cheers - Here's to the next 10 years! 🍻✨
