Shaggy Dog Market

About Shaggy Dog Market

Set to open this month, Shaggy Dog Market is a locally owned, home-grown business. They recognized the struggle many local pet owners faced when they either had to leave the city or go to some big-box retail store for their pet’s needs.

Being located in Buda means Shaggy Dog Market is less than 10 miles from our master-planned community!

Shaggy Dog Market has a wide array of toys, so bring in your four-legged family member to pick out their new favorite toy.

Self-Serve Dog Wash

Did your pooch have a hard day of play and is in need of a bath? Shaggy Dog Market has you covered! Sure, you could just wash them off in the bathtub or backyard, but once you use their wash stations, you’ll never want to go back.

Two Wheel Brewing in Buda Now Open Near Crosswinds

Crosswinds Kyle, TX
(Image via twowheelbrewing.com)

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.

Best Dressed Dog Contest
