Local Craft Breweries near Harwood, TX (2)

Open since 2017 and located “in the middle of nowhere”, Wild Bunch Brewery announces its presence once you see its handwritten sign. Brew master Jarle Lillemoen owns and operates Wild Bunch Brewing Company. He and Managing Member Jamie Caras both hold doctoral degrees in biochemistry, which should come in handy at the brewery. Calling his beer the “best damn beer in Texas”, Jarle only uses “high quality ingredients” in his “100% unfiltered beers”. He also uses the traditional method of brewing using an open propane flame throughout the process. He is also non-traditional in the age of state-of-the-art brewing equipment. Yet, his method yields “richer, more intense flavors and colors”. A blogger writes that Wild Bunch as of October 2019 offers seven beers served in jam jars at their taproom. Not bad for a brewery that’s designed and hand-built by Jarle himself. Finally, prior to establishing Wild Bunch, Jarle was the master distiller at Bone Spirits Distillery in Smithville.

BS Brewing is a little patch of country heaven between New Braunfels and Seguin that offers a selection of craft beers and other drinks. It is an “innovative and up-and-coming brewery” that is kid friendly and dog friendly. You will be impressed with their growing variety of ales. They currently have 12 beers on tap, 5 craft sodas, Wine, Sangria, and they are proudly “supporting 5 other Hill Country Breweries.” You can hangout on the patio with a Pecan Ale and you just might find yourself in the middle of one of their live music gigs, cookouts, or any other of the various assortments of get together and good times. No Tv's, no distractions, just a fire pit, good beer and great company!
