Hill Country brewery with unique beers, Mexican street food & ice cream
"I learned the Hill Country brewpub will have its last day of service on Saturday, January 20 at 13476 Fitzhugh Road; owner-founder Trevor Nearburg explained it must close not because of a single problem but due to “a confluence of social, cultural, and economic changes” that made the business “an unsustainable business.” They plan a final-day party and teased discounts and special beers. In production the brewery brewed a variety of styles—the Mexican lager Paz, the East Coast hazy IPA Trail Driver, and the pilsner Pibble—and its Wildcraft series used foraged ingredients such as Texas persimmons and honeycomb mushrooms. The on-site restaurant shifted over the years (starting with cheese boards and sliders, becoming Taqueria la Violeta in April 2021, and later evolving into the Beerburg Kitchen, which now mixes the two iterations), and the operation featured sustainable efforts like an on-site apiary as well as a beer garden, indoor taproom, and to-go beer; Nearburg opened Beerburg in January 2020 just before the pandemic." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I noticed that Beerburg Brewing’s Yaupon Roggenbier made the Good Food Awards finalist list in the beer category." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I noted Hill Country brewery Beerburg is giving out free ice cream scoops for donations of $5 or more to Texas reproductive rights nonprofit the Lilith Fund, with a maximum of three scoops and anyone who donates $25 or more eligible for a free ice cream sundae; this was available starting Sunday, July 17 and runs through Sunday, July 31." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The new restaurant’s menu features Mexican street fare ranging from tacos with cauliflower chorizo, barbacoa, and mushroom asado; quesadillas; salsas; papas bravas; and more. For sweets, there are seasonal ice creams in flavors such as Mexican vanilla with cajeta caramel, miso-sesame, olive oil-basil, chocolate, dark roasted coffee, and vegan sorbets. The brewery is open for on-site services with outdoor seating, reservations are recommended. Hours are from 3 to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and then from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A Hill Country brewpub selling its beer lineup to-go via crowlers, can packs, and bottles, offering wines from Wedding Oak and at-home brew kits; contactless curbside pickup is available and the beer garden has reopened." - Erin Russell
