The Best Texas Breweries in Hill Country

Taste the Craft of Hill Country: A Texas Brewery Adventure Awaits

While Texas Hill Country is widely celebrated for its award-winning wineries and gourmet dining, there’s another side of its flavor story you don’t want to miss: its vibrant craft beer scene. Scattered among the rolling hills, charming towns, and shady oak groves, you’ll find some of the best Texas breweries—each putting their own spin on traditional brewing using fresh, local ingredients and a whole lot of Hill Country soul.

Whether you're a true beer enthusiast or simply looking for a fun way to beat the summer heat, visiting local breweries is one of our favorite ways to explore the Hill Country. And when the day winds down, the Blair House Inn offers the perfect place to kick back, relax, and reflect on the day’s best sips.
