I’ve had 3 or 4 beers from Freetail (via in person tastings) but I’ve never been there so we decided to stop on Sunday afternoon. I love the fact that this place is NEW and extremely CLEAN. I mean, they’re making beer here which requires a sanitized environment and I can assure you this place is. This place makes some of the best beers in the state in my opinion; pretty incredible given their relative age, but not as incredible since we’re in Texas. We have some decent beers in this state, but we are below most in terms of quantity. Freetail has a lot of great things going on. Super cool logos, nice beer swag, good website, and they keep it updated. The beers are good to great, and the food is excellent too. I received more than satisfactory service from a bartender who seemed to know his stuff, and was very accommodating. The value on the growler fills and beer pours is very high. You can buy and fill a growler for $14 on Sundays ($2 off growler fills) which I consider to be a really good value, but a medium pizza can get as high as almost $20 and a large well over $20. The pizza is quite good and they’re not shy of toppings at ALL, but still. This brought the value score down for me. Selection is 10 of their house taps and 10 guest taps, so a total of 20, but no bottles to my knowledge. I’m completely ok with that too. The guest taps are all Texas beers and some of them are really good. Overall I loved this place and recommend anyone traveling to Texas should go to Freetail.

went on 9/18/09..11am.. sat in parking lot for half an hour, then hit em. chill place, wouldn’t like as much when packed. decent waitstaff, great fuckin pizza! real cool brewmaster. beer is quite good to, except the brewer must love fuckin wits. the first sampler had 3 different styled wits outta the 6. Two were magic! .. quite a new look building, abit hard to find. but definetly worth a visit if you are in TX. bats?

Went on a Friday night & there was a decent amount of people. Had a sandwich & appetizer with my wife. She had a sangria which she really liked, I had the IPA & a flight of 5 different beers. From the other reviews it looks like I should have gotten a pizza. The beers are average & I thought the price wasn’t that bad for all we got,the service wasn’t bad, but I’m glad to see a craft brewpub in SA. The only knock I had was that it was super noisy, enough that it was hard to think.

The pizza is great.. so are the appetizers and sandwiches. No fries which are standard fare IMHO. They have a good beer and really like what they have going on. I like the experimental brews they do. Service can get a bit lacking at times.. but hey the beer is good. Good place to relax and watch tv or swing in a get a growler,

Nice location that’s a bit difficult to access and find. Open atmosphere with a nice patio and open bar on the outside. Good selection of their own beers and a few choice Texas taps. Bartender knew the beers well. Tanks are named after James Brown band members-too cool. Beers overall were good and the brewer seems to experiment with different styles. Food was good too (cheese plate). Good stop if you’re in northern SA.

Just left this place a few minutes ago, Saturday night after the porterfest. Pretty empty except the hardcore Freetail fans. Service was fast and knew the beers. Beers were served in proper glassware and the vibe was nice. Good amt of TX beers on the guest taps as well. I’ll be stopping here again next time I’m down here.

This place is fairly new, and WAY on the outskirts of town. I went on a Wednesday night, so it was sparsely populated. The place has a sterile, warehouse kinda vibe. Few televisions scattered throughout, all playing sports. Brewing tanks are visible in the back, pretty cool. The bartender was pretty attentive, yet didn’t seem to care too much about his product. Tried all beers they offered, as well as a few Austin beers I found on tap. Also have a small wine list and bottled beer. Had a personal pizza that was incredible.

I’ve hit Freetail a few times since they opened back in November, but last night was my first visit since they’ve had a decent selection of their beers on tap. I was impressed with how packed the place was. Unfortunately this meant the kitchen got backed up a bit and it was taking 30+ minutes for a pizza, so I knocked them a little on service there. Once the pizza did arrive though, it was one of the best I’ve ever had - quite impressive for a place that hasn’t even been open for 2 months yet. Props to the chef. Great ambiance, they had the garage door to the patio open to a beautiful hill country view. Very nice touch. All 5 beers I tried were outstanding, especially the porter and the wit. Perhaps two of the best of the style I’ve ever had. I highly recommend. Food prices are on the high end, but I think worth it for the quality of pizza you get.

Stopped by here and had samplers of all 5 of the beers they currently had out. The beers were decent but nothing great. I am anxious to see how their stonger beers are once they come out later. I did not try the food so no comment on that. Decent looking with a good amount of TVs with sports on. A nice outdoor patio that has access to the bar from the outside. 5 of their own beers with more promised to be on their way, if they brew everything they have on their website it should be worth trying them all. Decent selection of guest beers from other Texas brewers. This score could improve on future visits. Updated 8/23/2009. Freetail continues to put out many different beers and has a good guest tap list. I am bumping up my score a little.
