BEER

Available Wednesday - Sunday through October, starting September 23.

OKTOBERFEST

A Marzen style lager that is full of bready malt notes. Medium bodied with a crispness that lingers into the dry and clean finish. It is cold filtered to a brilliant clarity, and is perfect for any celebration, especially Oktoberfest.

DARK CZECH LAGER

Brewed with a cast of all Czech ingredients. The base malt is a Bohemian variety, the hops are Czech Saaz, and the powerhouse yeast is a classic Czech Lager strain. The result is a dark copper colored and slightly roasted malty lager. Similar to a Munich Dunkel, but with a richer malt and hop profile. Brewed in Prague since around 1500, and has been uniting people since.

CARTER KÖLSCH

A classic Kölsch Style Lager that we try to always have available. This beer is traditionally from Cologne Germany, but today we have it right here in the Texas Hill Country. It features wonderful notes of pilsnery sweet flavors from the German variety of barley that we used in the brewing process. A lager with a low hop bitterness and a low ABV allows this beer to be enjoyed all the time.

SMOKED RYE PILSNER

A Bamberg Style Helles Rauchbier that is brewed with Beechwood smoked German barley. It is light bodied and finishes dry. This style is meant to strike the balance between the malt, the hops, and the smoke (rauch). Lagered and filtered cold makes this beer a welcomed guest to any table or fest.

LADYBIRD LAGER

By style this is a Vienna-Style Lager, and it is brewed with a multitude of German malts. Vienna malt specifically makes a showing in this lager. Giving the beer a roundness similar to an Oktoberfest, but not as bready and crisp. It has malt notes that persist to the finish. Fermented with a Czech Lager strain gives it a dryness that balances the beer out nicely.

Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of a food-borne illness.

BEER

GROOVY DAY JUICY IPA *
This juicy IPA is all about the fruity hops! The large malt bill gives this beer the malt backbone to stand up to the punch that these hops deliver. The aroma jumps out with tangerine and grapefruit, and after the first sip you are flooded with mango, citrus, and a note of pine. Dry-hopped with Simcoe and fermented with Cosmic Punch yeast, this ale is sure to give you groovy vibes all day and all night.
7.2% ABV, 70 IBU

CARTER KÖLSCH
This classic German lager is brewed with an all-German malt and hop bill that was carefully selected for this beer. The product was fermented with a Kölsch lager yeast that comes from our friends at Community Cultures Yeast Lab in San Antonio. The result is a crisp filtered lager with soft grainy pilsner notes. It finishes clean and dry with no lingering bitterness. Prost!
5.1% ABV, 20 IBU

TX RIVER PILS
A classic American style Pilsner that is light bodied and crisp. The pilsner malt brings that malty-grainyflavor to the front and then eases into a slight floral hoppiness in the end. It is not too bitter, but just enough to balance the beer out into the finish. It has a clean fermentation profile
5.2% ABV, 50 IBU

"DARK SKIES" CZECH DARK LAGER
Brewed with Bohemiam pilsner malt as well as a host of other speciality malts to create a complex flavor and deep copper color. Aromas of caramel malt and roasted barley balance this beer out exceptionally well. It has a tan persistent head and a smooth finish.
4.5% ABV, 29 IBU

TOWHEAD BLONDE
This American Style Blonde Ale is a light bodied pilsner brewed with some pale malt thrown in. It has a low hop bitterness with a clean finish. It is a fabulous “Gateway” beer for anyone trying craft beer, and it is good for anyone who just likes a good ol’ light beer. Perfect all year round for chilling and grilling. Cheers!
5.2% ABV, 26 IBU

LADYBIRD LAGER
The Vienna style lager is one of our favorites. It is a very classic style lager beer with a low hop bitterness, and bready malt notes throughout. We used a Czech lager yeast, which gives it a dry finish, and really balances out the malt and hop profile nicely. If you enjoy an Oktoberfest, then this beer is its cousin from the south. Cheers!
5.5% ABV, 23 IBU

HELL-RAISER BOURBON BARREL BROWN*
This Hill Country favorite was recently awarded a gold medal, and is a great representation of barrel aged beer. Brewed with a robust malt bill build for a brown ale and aged in Garrison Brothers Balmorhea Bourbon Barrels for two months. It packs a punch with malty warming notes of vanilla, chocolate, toffee and of course bourbon. Evenly balanced with a low hop bitterness and finishing smooth.
7.8% ABV, 38 IBU

HILL CO. SMOKESHOW
A Bamberg Style Helles Rauchbier, translation: a bright beechwood smoked pilsner lager than is traditionally brewed in Bamberg Germany. Ours is a light bodied pilsner that finishes dry and clean. There is a balance of the flavor of the beer and the smokiness of the pilsner malt. Only 10% of the malt was smoked.
5.5% ABV, 23 IBU

OKTOBERFEST
A filtered classic example of a Marzen lager. It is crisp and clean and has a bready malt backbone with slight caramel notes that blanace this beer out nicely. Brilliantly clear and perfecgt for the Oktoberfest season. Prost!
5.4% ABV, 24 IBU

ALL-AMERICAN AMBER
A fine example of an American Amber Ale that was brewed with an All-American malt bill and All-American Hops. Cold filtered to a brilliant clarity, this refreshing beer has notes of caramel and malty goodness that shines through to the end. A late addition of Centennial hops gives it a floral and spicy aroma.
5.8% ABV, 34 IBU
