Eva & Cory Cannon had a vision to start a new brewery in 2017 after successful careers in I.T. and A/V. They decided to pursue their passion of craft beer and wanted to open a brewery in Rockwall where they lived and found a place in downtown and finally started construction in April of 2020 right after the pandemic hit the United States. Having enjoyed nice wineries in Napa Valley, the Cannons envisioned an elevated, high end experience for a brewery. Feeling as the female brewery experience is under served, they wanted a female leaning brewery while not turning off their male customers. With that in mind, an “edgy mermaid, a Siren” was chosen to be the theme of the brewery. A Siren perched on a Rock ties in with the city of Rockwall’s name.
Each of Siren Rock’s beers are named after a designed character with diversity in mind. Their “Fearless Contender” Hazy IPA “strikes an incredible punch perfectly balancing the unforgettable tropical aromas of papaya, mango, peach and strawberry with juicy notes of fresh grilled pineapple”. They will be canning each of their core beers with recognizable colors coated cans with the design of each characters on the cans. As mentioned, all of the characters on their beers come from diverse backgrounds, with the Siren “calling all of them into the brewery to gather together and share a craft beer”. They will also be brewing seasonal, rotating beers and each will have their own character and cans. Their beers are brewed to be sessionable, drinkable, and moderate ABV so that you’ll be able to drink more than one at the brewery.
Siren Rock’s Core Lineup Siren Rock’s taproom exudes class with attention to details. The wall behind the bars has the copper shingles that look like mermaid scales and the bar has matching nautical themed art that flows throughout. The chairs and comfy couches definitely invite you to have a seat and enjoy craft beer with friends and family. There is a spot both indoor and on their outside patio for live music with speakers throughout the brewery so you can hear the music no matter where you are. The banquet room is available to host parties and groups. It features the same artwork of all of their characters on their beers and cans. The brewery itself features a lab, a 30 barrel, 3 vessel system that includes more room to grow when that time comes.
Siren Rock has beer ready to be poured, the taproom is ready but unfortunately there a few final details that must be done with their landscape before they can get the “okay” from the city. They anticipate opening any day now. Everyone there is excited to be a part of the Rockwall community and also a part of a growing DFW craft beer community. The city of Rockwall is eagerly awaiting their opening and they already have seen great support from the city and community.
