"Much like Jester King, Vista Brewing is best viewed as a destination brewery: the drive out to the 20 acre property in Driftwood is part of the fun. Don’t skip the food, which makes use of local ranchers and an on-site farm for dishes like pickled veggies, kids fare, and juicy burgers, which are just $15 with a beer on Thursdays. The taproom keeps a rotating selection of around 15 taps flowing, with standouts like the Adair kolsch and Driftwood pale leading the way. There are barrel-aged beers to sample, too, and several seasonal beer selections. Live music is also featured most Fridays and Sundays. The sprawling outdoors is a great dose of Texas Hill Country, but there are indoor areas for when the weather doesn’t cooperate." - Erin Russell
