Description
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.

Bottled. Pours orangey with a white head. The hops were mild and the malt was amped up. I liked it since I am not into the overhoppage.

Bottled. Pours a medium colored amber w/a medium sized head. Aroma is very hoppy. The rye and malts sort of come on at first and then give way to the hops. Pretty well done.

Tall boy can - clear dark purple pour - nose is plum, sugar, and light smokey phenols - flavor ids sweet, with dark fruit, light peppery spice, mild dusty yeast phenolics - slightly drying finish, with some lingering warmth but nothing I would call booziness - it's okay.
