Mike Copeland: Bare Arms update; Building permit roundup; H-E-B contest; Hearsay liquor license

Bare Arms Brewing, a brewery based in Robinson, Texas, has received a permit to proceed with interior build-out work on its new brewery and restaurant location. The company broke ground on the new 3,800 square-foot facility more than a year ago, and has completed framing the building and installing brewing equipment. However, progress on the interior of the facility has lagged. The local chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America has now confirmed that Bare Arms has obtained the necessary permit to move forward with the interior build-out, which will include both the brewery and a restaurant component. The new Bare Arms location is set to open at 3800 S. Loop 340 in Robinson. The company had announced plans for the move and shared renderings of the new facility in late 2024.
