a very average place-average beer, average service, average tourist clients which is a recipe for boring. however, their back beer garden is kind of cool. Beer is all average at best yet they still win awards? I dont get it. If your in town, stop by however, dont go out of your way-its not worth it.

Visited mid-afternoon for beers and food during a quick one day visit of the Texas Wine Country. The wait was over an hour, so we had a beer in back, then ate at the bar when two spots opened up. The location of the Brewery is nice, right in the center of a very active town. I can imagine this is a good spot to hang out as the rest of the party shops and wanders around town. The front part of the restaurant had a lot of character, large bar on one side, a bunch of tables on the other. The unique part of the place is the rear indoor Biergarten. Its massive back there, with a dozen large picnic tables, a bar, and several large TVs showing sports. They had 5 beers (I believe) on when I visited - standard + an IPA. The beers were decent enough. Both my wife and I ate - I had the pizza and she ordered the Schnitzel. Service was good, attentive and quick with the orders. Both were solid. If you are in the area, this place is certainly worth the stop.

Finally made the time to visit this joint, with the old lady in tow. Strip mall/German/industrial feel of the joint, it’ll work. Server was fast enough, and was good enough, enough about that. Brews- 5 standard with a rotating one- decent enough, but we both agreed that the food was better than beer. Food- awesome portion size for the price, but we hadn’t ate all day so we weren’t overly picky at that point. We’ll be back- get a beer in Dripping Springs, eat at the place down the block, get another beer here. That’ll work.

Pretty cool place to stop and have a beer. Neat old building with the brew kettles right there at the bar. They have 6 or 7 beers that are brewed on site, but the selection rarely changes and usually includes a pale ale, IPA, pils, helles, wheat, a porter and some type of red ale. Overall, the beers are fair with a couple of them standing out among the rest (they are award winners at GABF). I’d suggest getting the sampler so you can try them all before making your choice. You can get a growler to go and its open consumption on the streets. Unless you are starving to death and there are no other restaurants open do not eat here. The food is below average. Of course, if you’ve had a few too many beers you may think the food is wonderful! There is a bed-n-breakfast upstairs if you choose to drink yourself silly and just want to stumple into bed.

Always crowded, but always good beer and good times. Food is adquate, but the beer and good times is what you go there for.

Nice place to stop and have a meal and a beer. Nice atmosphere and surprisingly busy for a friday afternoon. Decent beers, worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Great Beers during the Christmas Holiday season. Their barley wine/ holiday ale was awesome. I like their darker brews, but they have to brew the lighter stuff in the summer for the dips that want "something that tastes like REAL beer." Those guys piss me off. Keep up the good work at the small brewery! We need more of you guys.

The very BEST in microbrew beer. Worth the 70 miles from San Antonio. Slim pickens on good microbrew beer in the San Antonio area, so must drive the 70 miles to Fredericksburg. We are from Portland Oregon (the land of microbrews), so we have a hard time adjusting to the limited choices of good beer in Texas. But Fredericksburg Brewing company wins hands down. Also they give you healthy portions of food or nachos here, you will never feel ripped off at this place ... I recommend it highly.
