The best news for Alpine

The coming of the Chisos Brewery to Murphy Street on the city’s burgeoning south side is about the best news story I have seen since moving here nine years ago. Construction is due soon, with completion a few months after that.

Murphy Street a large part of history

Lisa and Guy Fielder are owners of property on Murphy Street. They are proposing to build a brewery on their property. New business on Murphy Street is very welcomed. The Fielders have spoken to me about being part of the neighborhood. That also is very welcomed.
