The Return Of The Ginger Man

In a week positively spattered with less-than-fun news, some good news lives between the headlines. Old school Austin beer fans cried a collective, "Booo!" when it was announced that the Ginger Man's space was slated for demolition to make room for -- you guessed it -- a brand new high rise!

Now those same fans can let loose a collective, "Yay!" or "Yee-haw!" or whatever feels right, as the Ginger Man has found a new home at 301 Lavaca St., just a beer-coaster's throw from their original location. Current plans have them opening in their new space by the end of the year.

They don't care about that JRR. All that matters to those companies is squeezing more money out of newly-arrived condo seekers. Those companies are more interested in redesigning Austin to look and feel like New York or LA.

Does anyone care that this is the oldest warehouse building in Austin? Have you written a letter to the company who is planning to demolish this landmark? Is the company The Gables?

Werd, this is great news! Please make sure to open the new location with the same look and feel. Without that, an unwanted new crowd may descend upon the brew. I also miss Waterloo - it was one of the best places in town.
