About
Lazy Beach is a small brewery located in Corpus Christi, Texas. We sold our first beer back in June of 2014. We only have so much time to be lazy. Work, family, commitments, organizations and many other things sap our time, energy and mental focus. Sometimes we just need a break, we need time to be lazy. Welcome to Lazy Beach.
The Why
It all started back in 2010 in the kitchen with a basic homebrew kit. We created an awful beer with that kit but it sparked the beginning of what was to become Lazy Beach. We also got kicked out of the kitchen for making too big of a mess. We moved to the garage and started brewing every single Tuesday. This event became so consistent that people would pop in to “help brew”. While a few did actually help, most came to drink the past creations and have a good time.
It was this fun Tuesday event filled with laughter and great friends that ultimately drove us to start the Brewery. There were also no breweries in town at the time and we had to change that.
The Brewery
We brew and package 100% of our beers at our southside brewery. You can find our beers at the brewery, our downtown taproom, and all around Corpus and the surrounding areas on draft and in cans.
We brew lots of different styles, Since 2015 we have released at least 1 new style every week at the brewery; while it is more work to do so, its also a lot more fun. We have our core “Mile Markers” and a few seasonal flavors that make their way around town but all the variety happens in our taprooms.

Let us share with you the story about the Fisherman.
An investor was at the pier of a small coastal village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The investor complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The fisherman replied, “Only a little while.”
The investor then asked him why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish.
The fisherman replied, “I have enough to support my family.”What do you do with the rest of your time?
I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I drink great beer, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.The investor scoffed, You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy several boats; eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would then move to the big city, and eventually New York City, to run your expanding enterprise.
But, how long will this all take?Only 15 to 20 years.
Then what?The investor laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would sell your company stock to the public and become very rich; you would make millions!”
Millions – then what?Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you would drink great beer and play your guitar with your amigos.

It’s with this mentality we operate the brewery. We want to create beverages, events and experiences that we can all enjoy. After all we only have so much time to be lazy.
