About
Since 1996, we’ve been brewing in Blanco, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. When you get to make beer in a place like this, you develop a greater appreciation for the simpler things in life — fresh air, wide-open spaces, and working with your hands. We're proud to make beer with as little processing as possible. In addition to being unfiltered and unpasteurized, we never use preservatives or artificial colors. We start with water from the nearby Blanco River and the highest quality ingredients. Then we take the time to allow all the unique characteristics of the ingredients to shine. We believe doing less to the beer actually creates more complexity, aroma and flavor.

Let’s get going with this offering from Real Ale Brewing. They have put out a number of 22 oz bombers named after special American cars (Camaro and Nomad and such). Torino appears to be the newest. The label specifies best before 7/8/19. I am beating that by a little. I use my New Belgium globe glass for this pour, very dark body, more like a stout than anything. It gives a healthy, long lasting top of tawny brown foam. Hmm, the scent is stoutish too, malty and a touch of dark fruit. So what do we get with a taste? Sort of a stout and lager combo. Light with some chocolate, grain, pecans and a plum sweetness. Go figure.

Tap at Hippies & Hops at Austin airport. Bright golden/orange pour - slightly translucent with fine white head. Aroma is orange citrus, pine, some peach. Taste is solid pine bitterness, with good orange zest flavor, biscuit and bread. Very tasty, a pleasant surprise of an airport beer.
