What Iron Bridge Icehouse does

Iron Bridge Icehouse is a family-owned craft brewery founded in 2019 in Bastrop, Texas, and operated by Founder, Owner and Operator Tom Dickey alongside a small group of friends. The business was inspired by friends who bonded over beer while their sons played high school baseball and is dedicated to the memory of friends Alastair and Dan, which sits at the center of its brand identity. The brewery sits beside the Colorado River at 601 Chestnut Street Bldg. E, Bastrop, TX 78602, and rotates a lineup of approximately 8 craft beer styles — including Porter, Hefeweizen, Pilsner, Märzen/Oktoberfest, Cream Ale, IPA, Bock, and Kölsch-style — produced using locally sourced inputs such as Bastrop rainwater.

The company's product and revenue model is narrow and direct: beers are sold on-premise in 6oz pours ($3.00), 16oz pours ($6.50), and 64oz growler fills ($19.20 refill; $25.00 for a new growler with fill), with a branded Von Hanson's pretzel line ($5.00 per sealed pint) offered as a food-pairing add-on. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer through the single Bastrop location, and the taproom is currently closed to the general public and operates through private events only. The company holds memberships in the Texas Craft Brewers Guild and the Independent Craft Brewers Association, and markets via Untappd, Instagram, and Facebook. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees; no institutional funding, equity rounds, wholesale distribution, digital commerce, or external M&A activity is disclosed in the source material.
