3rd Level Brewing closes in Round Rock amid bankruptcy

3rd Level Brewing closed in April amid filing for bankruptcy, owner Clint Bradley shared via social media.

What you need to know: Bradley shared in a video posted to the business's Facebook page April 17 that the business had been told to shut down after filing for bankruptcy earlier this year.

"Unfortunate news today," he said in the video. "We are closed. We are done. It's finito. We got a call this morning from the whole bankruptcy thing and, yeah, that's it, they said stop operating, close doors."

About the business: The brewery was opened in June 2023 by Ross Winner, Clint Bradley and Amy Bradley, with a gaming and nerd-culture driven spin on its interior.

UnEarthed offers crystals, fossils and more in Round Rock

Rock shop UnEarthed offers a mix of rocks, crystals, fossils and metaphysical goods, bringing owner Heather Hill's love of geology and "weird things" to the Round Rock and surrounding communities area for over a year.

Staying local: Hill opened UnEarthed's first brick-and-mortar shop in November 2024 after over a decade of pop-up shops at local markets such as Pecan Street Festival and Georgetown Market Days. 

What they offer: Hill said the 800-square-foot space is jam-packed with a variety of oddities, ranging from sparkling crystals and rocks to dinosaur bones and meteorite fragments. Because the rock and mineral business has a metaphysical side, Hill said, the shop carries other items such as tarot cards, body and anointment oils, sage, protection kits and candles.

Respecting the craft: Hill said the shop frequently donates rocks and minerals to local teachers and fossil and mineral clubs, works with paleontologists to ensure the shop sells only authentic dinosaur bones and other fossils, and hosts a public market in the fall and spring with local artisans.

CI Texas
Investigators say Camp Mystic deaths were preventable in hearing revealing timeline of July 4 flood

In the early hours of July 4, 2025, an intense rainstorm pummeled communities in the Texas Hill Country, submerging low-water crossings as segments of the Guadalupe River rose more than 30 feet in 90 minutes. Twenty-seven young campers and counselors died at Camp Mystic, a private Christian girls summer camp located along the river in Hunt.

Those deaths could have been prevented if camp leadership took action sooner or had a written evacuation plan in place, investigators told a panel of state lawmakers tasked with studying the flood response during an April 27 hearing.

Quote of note: “Questions about what should happen next are many, but for me, one thing is clear: This tragedy could have been prevented,” Sen. Pete Flores, R-Pleasanton, said.

Zooming in: Camp Mystic staff had more than two hours to evacuate 386 campers from their cabins, investigator Casey Garrett said.

In violation of state law, the camp did not have a written evacuation plan and counselors were not trained on what to do in an emergency, she said.
