10 Best Breweries in New Braunfels

"The first “brewstillery” in Texas, Ranger Creek Brewing & Distilling creates both beer and whiskey. Though it may be better known for its whiskey distillery operation, many of Ranger Creek’s boozy offerings take significant skill to brew; for instance, Small Batch #13 is a Belgian ale that’s been aged for 24 months with Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Brettanomyces, and a house strain of wild yeast. True beer nerds, you’ve found your new home-away-from-home."

"Ranger Creek Brewing and Distilling offers a variety of beers and spirits. The brewstillery garnered many awards over the years. Their handcrafted whiskey and beer made with utmost care and attention."

"Mon Closed Tue Closed Wed-Fri 02:00 pm – 10:00 pm Sat 11:00 am – 10:00 pm Sun 11:00 am – 08:00 pm"

"Staying in Southtown, fans of a good time should make a pilgrimage to one of the newest darlings of the area, Dorćol Distilling Company. Unless you have done extensive traveling in Eastern Europe, you’ve more than likely never tasted anything like what Dorćol is producing. In addition to its highly successful craft-beer line, HighWheel, the bar exclusively makes all of its cocktails with in-house-distilled rakia."

"Located in the arts district on Flores Street, Dorćol brews a yummy selection of beers, made without the use of industrially-distilled alcohol or flavoring agents. Don’t leave without trying their Kinsman Rakia, an all-natural (and very flavorful) brandy that’s made from apricots imported from Belgrade."

"Situated in the historic Faust Hotel located in downtown New Braunfels, the Faust Brewing Company has been a part of the New Braunfels beer scene since 1998. Featuring 16 taps of beer with several being their own brews, the Faust Brewing Company also has an expansive food menu complementing their beer selection. This is one of the few brewpubs that you can also stay in!"

"New Braunfels Brewing Company is a small dog-friendly brewery with friendly staff and laid-back vibes located in Historic Downtown New Braunfels. Unlike most breweries, NBBC specializes in barrel-aged sour beers versus IPAs and pilsners. Not sure if sour beers are your thing?"

"It’s sushi, salad, barbecue, seafood, even build-it-yourself Mongolian stir-fry. Sticky, sweet General Tso’s chicken got the job done, as did beef with broccoli that was refreshed twice in the short time I was there. The usual suspects like egg rolls, fried rice, wonton soup and rangoons all were about as good as any Chinese takeout, and the sushi gave me the same kind of fix I get from the basic rolls at the grocery store."

"Spice Fine Indian Cuisine Biryani Place greets the diners with an outstanding customer service and energetic vibe. They are committed to serve dishes made only from the freshest and top quality produce. Individual dishes can symbolize a person’s affection, passion, and emotions."

"Now, it’s home to a museum and garden filled with fine and decorative art. The artworks come from the last owner who had a collection of over 12,000 items. Stroll through the beautiful grounds to enjoy the historic view.Where: 401 King William St, San Antonio, TX 78204"

"Mission San José is a historic Catholic mission founded in 1720 because Mission San Antonio de Valero, today called The Alamo, had become overcrowded. Permission was granted to build a new mission 5 miles (8 km) south of San Antonio de Valero to serve the Coahuiltecan Indians. The first buildings, made of brush, straw, and mud, were quickly replaced by large stone structures, including guest rooms, offices, a dining room, and a pantry."

"One of the oldest historic churches in San Antonio, San Jose, is the best opportunity for the visitors to see what a mission looked like in the past Spanish Colonial period. Almost all the defensive walls are now restored and intact. The site is also popularly referred to as the Queen of the Missions."

"I think of Mission San Jose as "the big Mission" as it is pretty large and seems to be the most popular. It has a wonderful entryway that is just amazingly beautiful. This is also known as "the Queen of the Missions" since it was largest and strategically important to the missionaries at the time."
