"The Hill Country brewery’s evolution from a beer nerd paradise to an all-around gathering spot appears to be complete. Once solely focused on farmhouse and wild beers, the brewery now offers several “clean” beer selections in the lager and pilsner categories, alongside curated picks of wines and ciders. The kitchen side still has the usual selection of pizzas and baked goods, and the weekend-only food truck offers bar fare like burgers and fries. There are also walking trails and quite a few goats and other animals on the property. Takeout orders can be placed online.
