Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery

The Big Texan Brewery starting serving hand craft beers June 24, 2011 after a lengthy process of paperwork with the “Feds” or TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) and the TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission). The amount of work that was needed to put a dream into reality started decades ago and many miles apart between Tom Money (Brewmaste​r) and the Lee Brother’s (Bobby & Danny) who are second generation owners of the Big Texan Steak Ranch.

Starting back in 1988, Danny was teaming up with buddies on the weekends brewing beer in backyards and cracking open many new tastes that were unavailable to the general public. Meanwhile Bobby, the prodigy mastermind behind the Big Texan’s promotional engine had been encouraging his brother to continue the tradition of brewing only this time for the Big Texan’s patrons, and not just as a hobby either. Theses conversation​s went on for years and years, UNTIL January of 2011 when a friend of the family told the Lee Boy’s that his brother Tom, who also brewed beer at home for a hobby, wanted to be a Brewmaster for their world famous steak house. Tom was looking for an introduction and a foot in the door.
