Kochendorfer Brewing: Updates on Progress
It’s inevitable — some things in life just don’t come out as planned. That’s been the case with the opening of Kochendorfer Brewing Company, a new fixture working to open in Duncan, thanks to weather and other bumps along the way.
Lenny and Kathryn Cripps and Chris and Laura (Coast) Kochendorfer began working on the Kochendorfer Brewing Company several years ago. When the two couples first met, they discovered they shared one thing in common: the dream of one day opening a brewery.
Now, they’re going through the process of finishing up so they can open to the public and showcase their craft. Chris said a lot of the timing issues have been inevitable. Since deadlines haven’t worked out in the past, they’re still not going to provide a specific opening date until its certain that goal is achievable.
“We attempted to estimate opening dates during several stages of construction, and, unfortunately, through issues beyond our control, missed the mark each time,” Chris said. “Weather delays as well as testing and permitting from City and State agencies continued to push back target dates. At this point, we learned not to give false hope by guessing at a timeline.”
