Review of Black Laboratory Brewing by TexasRealFood
Tim Castaneda and Jeff Weihe, the two “mad scientists” behind Black Laboratory Brewing, first met at work. With their backgrounds in microbiology and biochemistry, respectively, Tim and Jeff have been applying their scientific backgrounds in the science and art of homebrewed craft beers since 2015. The division of labor is scientific, too. Jeff works on stuff like water pH, while Tim keeps an eye on yeast cultivation. Mox the mascot joins the two scientists in the endeavor and takes center stage as the brewery’s logo image.
Tim and Jeff jumped from scientists/home-brewer to brewer/businessmen with help from “Break Fast & Launch”, a San Antonio startup incubator. With a solid business plan in hand, they’re set to open their taproom at East Houston’s new Hackberry Market in late 2019. Meanwhile, they have been busy with paperwork, construction, and keeping their fans abuzz with appearances at events.
