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.

Full Moon Pale Rye Ale from Real Ale Brewing Company

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Another interesting Texas beer from ericandersnavy. Pours copper with a slight white head. Strange and different malt aroma - suggests ryecrisp. Medium plus body with mild carbonation. Flavor is pretty malty, with that strong flavor which seems to be rye. There’s some floral hop to help the balance, but it seems more malty than bitter. Pretty tasty though. Don’t think I’ve tasted anything like this before.

Bottle courtesy of Pinkzambia Lovely hazy light orange amber with a thin but dense cramy light tan head that actually had to be coaxed a bit with a high "dribble-pour". Delicious candy carmel dominates the aroma Flavors are mainly sweet malts and just enough IBUs to balance. Just noticed this is a 2 year old bottle. That might account for the diminished bitterness and enhanced sweetness. Smooth palate and light, fine carbonation.Very nice

Another beer from ericandersnavy. Pours gold with a foamy white heat. Light fruit aromas. Could be some grass. Medium minus body with sharpish carbonation. Not a huge amount of fruit or malt. But it’s hot this evening, and it’s going down real well. Finishes lightly fruity and barely bitter. Good blond ale.

2007 bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks much for what, to me, is a beer from the middle of unknown lands. Pours reddish amber with a minimalist off-white head that didn’t stick around. Aroma is floral and caramel. Strong enough to pause my senses. Full bodied, and a bit sticky. Very slight carbonation. Flavor is caramel, with some dried fruit aspects. Hop is floral, mildly bitter. Still, it’s dryish. I type that while sugar swirls in my mouth. Still seems accurate though. Does make a great nightcap.

Bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks again! Dark reddish brown with a very slight tan head. Aroma of dark malt with something like celery for notes. Medium body with mild, frothy carbonation. Flavor is non-harsh roasted malt with some light bitterness. Touch of chocolate. It’s well balanced. Easier drinking than many browns.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and brown sugar as well as just an edge of acidity. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of alcohol and roasted malt. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

courteys of lowgear. Pours amber with off white head. Aroma of roasted malts and yeast. Taste, roasted malts, light dark fruits, bitter hops and notes of bitter chocolate. Finish is relatively light and malty with added touch of nuts Yeast seems to add a dry component with a somewhat weak nutty finish.
