Big Hops New Braunfels has permanently closed

The New Braunfels location of San Antonio's Big Hops taproom chain has closed after fewer than two years in operation. The store's owners broke the news in a Wednesday Instagram post, thanking customers for “the great memories we created in such a short time.” The unit is a franchise operation and not owned by the chain itself. Donovan Thomson, a local influencer and military veteran, opened Big Hops New Braunfels in fall 2021 alongside fellow vet Audi Paredes.
