5th Element Brewing

I stopped by Fifth Element Brewery and was really impressed!. The quality of the beer was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and Mike made the experience even better with his friendly hospitality. I’ll definitely be back, come out and support this awesome local spot! 🍺

I've been to 5th Element before - the first time at their Ribbon Cutting shortly after opening. Since then they have increased their beverage offerings as well as their charm. I had a great conversation with the owner, Mike, and they are truly a gem in our community. They have a delicious beer that they sell with proceeds being donated to ALS. The inside is small, however, they have a huge lot with tents, misters and lights. On top of this, they allow people to reserve the area at no extra charge. I love supporting local and am proud to have them in Leander! Thank you, Mike, for your hospitality and all you bring to the community!

Our friend brought us here and I'm so glad he did. The place is small but it's so nice, there is seating inside but their outdoor area is big with plenty of seating. They had some games outside and also misty fans which was super nice. I had a basic drink but my husband and friend enjoyed the beer very much.

Had a great time checking out this small new brewery! You can tell the brewers have passion about what they do. They have a great variety of beer styles to choose from. Though the inside is a bit cramped, there’s also plenty of outside seating and a great view of the train passing by (which my husband loved). We tried one of the food trucks and it was amazing! Definitely recommend for a quick drop-in or a long afternoon stay.

Definitely a place we need to support as a community! 5th Element Brewing is a family and pet friendly place. Board Games, safe- kid friendly axe/star throwing Dart boards, cold craft Beer, sodas, clean restrooms, and a great atmosphere for everyone. Great food by Munchies ATX!! Mondays 6:30-10pm is Trivia Night!! Oktoberfest Sept 28th and 29th!

Fantastic casual brewery atmosphere for a quick and quiet pint. Very dog friendly and a great spot to hang out with the whole family. Very knowledgeable staff that have created a wide variety of craft brews. A perfect spot for any local beer lover.

Wish I could give it 5 Stars, and maybe it'll work its way up. Very friendly brewers/staff. Quaint, pleasantly decorated setup in Old Town. Killer food truck outside (separate tab, should be a separate business on Google soon). But the beers haven't quite become memorable beyond being home-brews. Worth tracking.

We went to 5th Element for the first time yesterday and I love everything about it! The owner and stuff are so attentive, helpful and accommodating. The establishment itself is such a clean and inviting family friendly atmosphere - they have games as well as non-alcoholic beverage options, the bathrooms are clean and bright and there’s ample seating (and the thermostat was set at 68 on a sweltering summer afternoon- yes please & thank you)! Parking was easy and it’s perfectly tucked away, right off of old 183 & W Hero Way. They have a great outdoor area with games and shade and holy cow, Black Sheep Soul food truck did NOT disappoint! Owner was so sweet and welcoming to the kids that were there. I saw I’m handing out bubbles and stickers, he has such a kind heart and has staff most definitely does as well. Great guys, I can’t say enough about how wonderful they were! They’ll be adding a playscape just in time for fall and we will most definitely be back time and time again!

A friend of mine brought up 5th Element up as a place to visit, it was nearby his home...and that was about it for all the information I had. When we pulled up to it, I wasn't so sure it was the right place when it went to a residential area but found that the brewery was an old house and it was busy that weekend. There was still some parking in the lot and we managed to squeeze in. Seating wise we also managed to squeeze in, the brewery is a converted home and brewing takes up a lot of space; also didn't help that my friend is 6'4 and around 250+ so any place is going to feel cramped. The beer however, is interesting. You can tell that the beers are made how they want it to be made, from the styles to the names, there's a uniqueness and dare I say, joy to it comes through from the staff to the beer itself.

Fun little spot. Gamers would really love it. A doodlers paradise, you can decorate coasters and put them around, that's kinda the main decor. Lots of outdoor space and games, and misters set up to keep you cool on these hot Texas summer days. It was kind of a haul to Leander for a cold beer, but that coin ride pony on the patio was worth it

This is what make Barks for Beers a cool thing to do, we found 5th Element because of B for B, nice place with a great smelling food truck. We didn't eat but we did grab a beer. Mike Brune is someone you want to hit up when you're here. Very welcoming and made the stop worth while. It's a small place and very kid friendly. Lots of seating outside and nice selection of beers on tap. Thanks to Barks for Beers we'll be coming back to 5th element!

I hit this place up for my annual Barks for Beers event but I made sure to buy another beer as well. Make sure you tip your bartenders!! I think the standout here is definitely their King Bob which can have additional flavors and is a nice tart sour. I got the tangelo which was delicious. I also enjoyed their Pickleweisse which was more of a light refreshing pickle juice flavor versus a hit you in the face pickle. Plenty of seating inside and outside by the food truck. I saw plenty of folks with their kids so it's a kid friendly place with yard games Service was friendly and dog-friendly (inside and out) as well so I'm a fan! Not every place lets dogs inside so I'm glad this place does. I really enjoyed my beers and can't wait to bring my dogs here too

Outstanding customer service! We loved hearing about their brewing process. Very chill and welcoming environment. Their beers had the perfect offering of both classic styles plus experimental. Highly recommend!!

Solid beer, great service and people. A true hub for the community. Excited to watch 5th Element continue to grow and serve the community.

The parking was fine. Looked spacious for the outside. Would we stop by this brewery again ? No. It isn't bad but I felt not welcomed in a way when I was there. The beers is fine. I do like the ambiance inside. Enjoyed the live entertainment when we were there.

Another great addition to the CP - Leander area. 5th Element is a recently opened brewery that is producing 5-star craft brews in a very cozy - friendly location. Co-founders Mike and Kim greet you as you enter their cute old-style Leander home converted to a tasting room. Mike spent about 20 minutes with us on Friday evening discussing their vision and his love for beer (and food). Their beer is the star here! My first choice was their Czech Style Pilzer. I remarked to Mike that when I sipped this beer I thought I was back in my favorite pub in the Czech Republic. Plus One ordered their Blonde which was light but had a great finish. My last beer was their west coast IPA. This is an excellent nod to the West Coast IPA style. Next time the Winstons Brown Ale and the Scottish Phoenix are on my to-taste list. I may even take a chance on the PickleWeisse, check out their website! They have ample seating room outside, with misters, but it was too darn hot so we opted for the tap room. I would imagine when the heat breaks it will be nice to sit outside and enjoy some (planned in the future) music. There is a Soul Food truck on the premise and they are serving up some interesting food options. There is everything from Apps to goat burgers, to pizzas, to calamari. I ordered the calamari as an App which turned into my dinner. You can easily split this order among 3 people. The squid was lightly battered and cooked to perfection (read: not rubbery). Plus 1 ordered a hamburger that was pretty darn good. Oh, their fries are spiced Cajun style I believe. Come here to drink delicious craft beer, meet the owners, make new friends, and have a delicious bite to eat! Easy 5-Star review!

Amazing place. So friendly and welcoming. Everyone who works there is always happy and smiling. I have been several times and will be a regular. Great place to just go hang out.

Customer service, excellent Beer, Excellent Ambiance, Sensational This is the original pour house on burnet reincarnate

A brewery with character and good values. Immediately upon walking I feel the communal aspect of fifth element brewing. Right when you walk in you're greeted with exceptional service everyone is smiling and informative. There's personally made art and a home feel ambiance. We had a "MaBelle" and a "Drop it's like it's Hop". They were both Authentic in flavor but I enjoyed the MaBelle the most. When you sniff as you sip you capture a citrus/crisped flavor. We only went for one drink but will return for future experiences. They have comedy night 9-11 on Saturdays and games to play as well as a create your own coaster theme. Also Live Music!!! It was one of the fulfilling last minute Saturday choices...say hi to Mike when you go in. He's full of laughs, smiles and tons of knowledge. For the element has quirk with heart. Check it out if your ever north or take the train as it's a stones throw from the leander stop.

This brewery recently opened up in the Leander area, and we absolutely love it. They have both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a food truck which has an amazing fig prosciutto pizza. The beers run the gauntlet of wheat through porter. Something off the beaten path is a pickle wheat beer, which is extremely refreshing, given the 100° Texas summer. My suggestion is get a flight to find the beer that fits you the best.

Stopped by to check it out on a whim - great outdoor beer garden with multiple food trucks. Well behaved dogs welcome. Service was friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to trying more beers and food soon.

We went for the first time last night and really enjoyed it! The owner is so nice and accommodating, the rest of the staff were as well. My husband and daughters had a couple of different beers and really liked them. They had their first night of live music, a ukulele band! It is pretty cozy inside but our group of 4 sat with a really nice couple and had no problems at all. They also have a couple of red or white wines if beer isn't your thing. The outside will be great when this heat decides to calm down, lots of tables with umbrellas. The owner said they will also be installing a play scape soon for the kids. They have a food truck called Black Sheep Soul, the couple we sat with ordered lots of different items and all looked absolutely delicious. Next time we're definitely going to check it out. They have some card and board games you can play with as well.

We went here tonight for barks for beers. All but 1 of the beers was available to us (that one was a small batch - makes sense). We both had the Scottish Phoenix porter and it was excellent! The service was very friendly from Joe. He was knowledgeable about all the beer and very patient with all customers - answering questions & being genuinely inviting. Such a wonderful experience! Lots of games for adults or kids. Lots of people were outside with the music & tables, and we preferred the air conditioned inside. A great night & we will be back!

Absolutely delightful pub that my friends and I frequent nearly once a week. We love it because they have a great outdoor space for kids to run and play and of course the beer and wine is divine. I'm absolutely in love with the Ma Belle Tripel and the Erst Kinde. I also love the flavored beers and I've never had anything I didn't like. They also work hard to have great music, events, trivia nights and amazing vendors! We've gotten to meet the owners and crew too and they are a rare breed of wholeheartedly GOOD people. Will always be a regular and a fan here.

Great place! Checked this place out for the first time, and it absolutely will not be the last. The staff is awesome, very friendly, and gives great recommendations. Seating options inside and out. They have a food truck that serves a variety of cheesesteaks and nachos as well. Highly recommend!

Great place. Friendly staff, great beers, try to find all of the Tow Maters! Will definitely be back. Thanks guys!

Great vibes and great beer! We started with the flight and couldn't decide which was our favorite. My husband is an IPA guy so went on to have another pint. Also tried the pickle beer which I wasn't expecting to enjoy. A fun summer beer. Don't miss out on this place.

Nice place, friendly folks, good beers. They have lots of plans for the place, can't wait to return.

We came to 5th element randomly when we were in town adopting a dog and this beer and the garden/food trucks outside made for a perfect afternoon. The cosmic black IPA was phenomenal. The owner Mike took the time to talk to us, explain his story, and is just a genuine dude who's easy to root for. Come here and bring your friends, I know I will!

It's a nice cozy place. You can tell it's an older house that has been converted to a business. They have around 8 beers on tap that are pretty good with the usual IPA, porter, lager, Amber and a few others. There is a good truck out front that is legit. The prices are high but the food is excellent. It's worth checking out.

Great service! Cute little spot , right next to a food truck. You can order food from inside brewery to bring over and eat. The brewery is very small but had outside seating!

I've had my eye on this place for awhile and so happy it's now open. I was beyond pleased with the beer selection and quality. Between my husband and I, we tried the Czech lager, British blonde ale, IPA, brown ale and Kolsch. All were A+ solid. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating to our kids. They have a large outdoor area with tables, umbrellas, and misters, as well as an on-site food truck with delicious options. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone - Individuals, couples, and families with kids. Will be back for sure!

Fantastic food and excellent beers. Service was knowledgable and helpful. Great local brewery.

Food, service and entertainment...you get them all here with the nicest people ever!! Good beer choices too!

This place is amazing! From the beer to the atmosphere to the customer service and the food truck. It was top notch! Mike and Jose were some of the nicest people I've ever met, hands down!! They definitely go out of their way to make sure you are having a good time. Definitely will be back over and over again.

Awesome place, good beer and nice people. Location is cool can't wait for the fall to hang out outside.

Spent a relaxing Friday evening with amazing local brews, and exceptional service in a family and dog friendly environment. The Black Sheep Soul mobile restaurant has scrumptious, easy to order food that will exceed your expectations. A great experience and opportunity to support a local independent brewery.
