COOP Ale Works receives Texas license at Dallas address

Overview

Updated 2 hours ago

COOP Ale Works, an Oklahoma City craft brewer, received a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission license on October 26 for 1315 S Ervay in Dallas. The record is a single permit approval, not proof the business is open or fully cleared.

The licensed address sits on the same block as Four Corners Brewing Co.'s taproom at 1311 S Ervay, south of downtown. What COOP plans there isn't in the record.

Why it matters

An Oklahoma craft brewer with a Texas license could put its F5 India Pale Ale on Dallas shelves and taps, if it actually operates.

Scenarios

COOP Ale Works opens a Dallas taproom at 1315 S Ervay

Possible Resolves by End of 2027

Discussed by: No public statement from COOP Ale Works; inferred from the taproom-heavy block and Four Corners' adjacent location

If COOP intends a consumer taproom beside Four Corners, it needs this license plus local approvals. An opening would mark its first Texas location and put its core beers, including F5 India Pale Ale, on Dallas taps.

1315 S Ervay becomes COOP's Texas distribution warehouse

Possible Resolves by End of 2027

Discussed by: No public comment; a reading of the type-BW permit as a storage and wholesaling authorization

The type-BW permit may cover beer storage for Texas wholesalers rather than on-site sales. COOP would ship Oklahoma-brewed beer to the Dallas warehouse, then to Texas retailers and bars, without a taproom.

COOP lets the Dallas license lapse unused

Unlikely Resolves by Q2 2028

Discussed by: No public prediction; a standard possibility for any single permit filing

The permit could sit dormant if COOP delays plans or shifts strategy. Texas licenses expire and require renewal; an unrenewed permit signals the Dallas move stalled.

Historical Context

One moment from history that rhymes with this story — and how it unfolded.

2012

Four Corners Brewing opens in Dallas (2012)

Homebrewers opened Four Corners Brewing in Dallas in 2012. The craft brewery later established a taproom at 1311 S Ervay, in a historic carriage house south of downtown.

Then

Four Corners became a fixture of the Dallas craft beer scene, pouring its own beers on site.

Now

Its taproom helped anchor the South Ervay block as a brewery destination.

Why this matters now

COOP Ale Works' licensed address at 1315 S Ervay sits on the same block, putting a second brewery next to an established taproom.
