Brewed with the taste of place
Beer Born in the Hill Country
We brew traditional styles which pay homage to European origins, while highlighting our own Texas Hill Country terroir. All of our beers are made with water sourced directly from the limestone-filtered water well on the property, 450 feet below the surface in the Middle Trinity aquifer. We don’t alter this water in any way, and let our beers showcase this beautiful, mineral-rich natural resource. The end product is an elegant and dry beer, made to be enjoyed under the shade of a Live Oak.
The Tasting Room draft list shown here is subject to change, as we rotate beers often. Be sure to check our Beer To-Go cooler for bottles of barrel program beers no longer on draft - drink onsite or take to-go.
Barrel Program
Vista’s barrel program is built around freshly emptied wine & spirits barrels sourced from our neighbors here in Central Texas. We currently have barrels aging with Brettanomyces ales, Belgian-style lambics (some with local fruit, such as Fredericksburg peaches) and small batch variations of our beer garden recipes.
We always feature several barrel aged styles on draft, and you can also always enjoy our wide range of bottles here at the brewery or to-go.
