Top 5 Breweries To Explore in the Texas Hill Country
The Shady Llama
Enjoy a local beer at the Shady Lama in the Texas Hill Country and pet a Lama while you’re at it!
The Shady Llama has a little bit of everything, starting with the beer. They don’t brew their own, they feature locally brewed beer on tap. It’s a great place to watch the sunset, pet a Llama, grab a bite to eat from the food truck and just generally “hang out”. We often find live music and an interesting assortment of Hill Country characters. On our outing, we found ourselves having a beer with our priest!
Middleton Brewery
Middleton’s Brewery, our favorite and closest (7 miles to the East on FM 32), has a great selection of beer brewed on site. Try a flight before you settle on your favorite.
