Local Craft Breweries near the Willow City, Texas 78675 Area (3)

Opened in 1994, Fredericksburg Brewing Company is unique in its position as Texas’ oldest brewpub. Located in historic downtown Fredericksburg along Main Street, the company is equally unique in its offer of a combination brewery with dining capabilities, a “biergarten”, and “Bed & Brew” facilities. The company makes use of a well-restored two-storey 1890s era building to house all these offerings. The Bed & Brew, just like a bed and breakfast, gives guests a chance to experience a stay at one of twelve rooms available from the brewery. Too drunk to get home? Just proceed to the second floor! You don’t get breakfast, but you do get a pint for each night’s stay! If that doesn’t convince you to give them a try, perhaps their award-winning beers will.

Altstadt Brewery is an authentic, German-style brewery guided by the German Purity Law of 1516 and uses only four premium ingredients – hops, malt, yeast imported from Germany, and artesian spring water – to create award-winning beers including Altbier, Kölsch, and Lager. Established in 2014 by the Scripps family, they first released their lineup of year-round beers in 2017. In October 2018, the Fredericksburg-based brewery opened their authentic 120-acre Old World German-style destination brewery. Modeled after a German castle, it features a German-style biergarten with several seating areas, a tasting room, an event center for special events, and a restaurant. The biergarten features live music during pub hours. The brewery also conducts free tours at its brewing facilities where visitors can go behind the scenes to learn about the German brewing process, and catch a glimpse of their imported state-of-the-art German equipment.

Pecan Street Brewing Company is a family owned casual brewpub with American fare and rotating beers on tap. It is a place to relax while connecting with friends in a casual atmosphere. At Pecan Street Brewing, they celebrate the art of craft by featuring fresh handcrafted cocktails, brewed on-site craft beer and Texas Wines. The beers compliment their menu of brick-oven pizzas, fresh salads, burgers and unique southern dishes. Their selection of craft beers can be enjoyed in the restaurant, or while dancing to one of the many live bands featured on weekends. They also have a pet friendly Biergarten that provides a relaxed ambiance. It is a favorite spot in Texas Hill Country for self service or closed private events.
