Call us the incuBrewer.”Īs the saying goes, 'in wine, there is truth,' so the possibilities for what The Ion's tenants could discover after an IPA or two seems virtually limitless.

“This environment is all about incubating start-ups and giving creators the support to succeed,' Cryer said in a statement. The husband-and-wife duo also own Baileson Brewing Company, a nano-brewery near Rice Village, which gives them a unique perspective on Second Draught's ability to promote local producers. Owners Sarah Pope and Adam Cryer bring plenty of craft beer credibility to their new project. The intimate, 2,000-square-foot space will be located on The Ion's street level and feature a wraparound bar.

Slated to open early next year, Second Draught will feature selections from Houston's ever-growing roster of craft beer breweries. The Ion announced that it has added Second Draught to its roster of bars and restaurants. Rice University's new innovation district will include a place to kick back and have a beer.
