![]() ![]() I Luv Video owner Conrad Bejarano announced last September that his video store - the last of its kind in Austin - would shut its doors due to both the pandemic and Austin’s real estate market. The store's landlord, looking to liquidate, notified him that the property was on the market in summer 2020, Bejarano told the American-Statesman last year, and I Luv Video could not afford to buy the building. He feels a connection to the previous occupants of the brewery’s new space, which he calls “mom-and-pop" passion projects. Cryder hopes that Lazarus can carry the local-business torch.Ĭontinuing coverage: As Austin’s I Luv Video closes, owner tries to keep film library alive ![]() “My goal is to create a business my daughter can run for 20 years after I’m done,” Cryder says. The Cryders came to Austin from Montana, and the second location of Lazarus is their latest effort to put down roots in town. They leased the original location but are purchasing the new one, a “chance to control our destiny and have something that we can keep in the family for a long time.” “We have a lot of staff that have worked with us for the whole time we've been open,” Cryder adds. And the brewery’s general manager, Marcus TenHarmsel (formerly of Hopfields), is a longtime family friend whom they’ve known since he was 10. His daughter, Rebekah Daniels, is Lazarus’ head brewer. Lazarus is a family-and-friends operation, says Cryder, a former pastor who also worked in the software industry. His wife, Marilyn, roasts coffee for the business. The company's plan originally called for opening the second spot by December or January, but various challenges - the pandemic, the city permitting process and supply-chain slowdowns - have pushed the spin-off a few months. The Sixth Street location also has an espresso bar and serves tacos, tortas, rice bowls and other snacks. Lazarus currently brews a bevy of seasonal beers, as well as flagships like 40 Days & 40 Nights and Walks on Water (both American IPAs), Prodigal Pils (a German pilsner) and Amandus (a Belgian strong gold).
