Calling all beer lovers! We’re beyond excited to announce that a brewery has opened up near our master-planned community in Buda. While Crosswinds is in Kyle, TX, Two Wheel Brewing Company is just a quick 10-minute drive from our new homes near Austin! Here’s what you should know about this new craft beer company.

The Cold Brews

To kickstart this brewery’s entrance into the world of craft beer, Two Wheel Brewing currently serves four beers – Budaful Blonde Ale, Twin Creeks Pale Ale, Amber German-Style Altbier and Brakeman Bitter English-Style Pale Ale. But that’s not all! The brewery plans to release even more craft brews, so you can expect to see seasonal varieties!

The Men Behind Two Wheel

There are just three men bringing these delicious beers to Buda. The first is the head brewer and founder, Marc Woffenden, who started his beer crafting career 10 years ago thanks to getting a homebrew kit for Christmas. He then went on to study brewing science and engineering at American Brewers Guild Brewing School. Next up is Dennis Howell, who also went to the American Brewers Guild Brewing School and has years of experience crafting tasty brews in Upstate New York breweries. Finally, there’s Douglas Korte, who keeps track of the business and also gets to have the best job someone in a brewery could have – quality testing. That means he’s the lucky guy that gets to taste all the beer to make sure it’s as good as it’s supposed to be.

Plan a Trip to Two Wheel

Since they are still so new, Two Wheel Brewing Company is only currently open on Fridays from 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM. However, they are expected to extend those hours to more days very soon! You can keep up with all that’s going on by following their Facebook page.

Have you always wanted to live close to a brewery? If so, then you’re in luck! Our master-planned community of Crosswinds in Kyle, TX is less than 10 miles away from Two Wheel. To learn more about our new homes near Austin, contact Crosswinds today.

Crosswinds is an Official Sponsor of the 2017 Buda Wiener Dog Race

Crosswinds Kyle TX

Every year Buda, Texas, the unlikely Wiener Dog Capital of the Lone Star State, puts on their annual County Fair and Wiener Dog Races! This will be their 20th year and our master-planned community is a sponsor this year! Here are some of the things you can expect from this family fun event.

20th Annual Buda Wiener Dog Races

This great event is basically a weekend-long overload of adorable dogs, family fun, live music and more!

When: Saturday, April 29 – Sunday, April 30
Where: Buda City Park
What Time: Saturday – 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM & Sunday – 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM 

As for the actual races, you can register your wiener dog or mixed breed dachshund the day of the race or register online. The Central Texas Dachshund Rescue is hosting the event and Crosswinds in Kyle, TX is excited about being a sponsor this year.

Best Dressed Dog Contest

Just because your dog doesn’t have any dachshund in them, that doesn’t mean you can’t bring them along for all the fun! They don’t have to race, because they can still participate in the best-dressed dog contest as well as the opening pet parade!

If you want to win the best-dressed dog contest, we’d recommend making sure your pooch is all decked out from nose to tail. Throw on a little hat, maybe even some stylish shoes, and you’ll give the other dogs a run for their bones.

Food, Food and More Tasty Food

Finally, no great Texas festival would be complete without food! Not only will there be local vendors selling some tasty morsels, there will also be a bake-off, barbecue cook-off and chili cook-off. Don’t miss out on your chance to dig into some of the most delicious eats in the Hill Country.
