Now Pouring Driftwood

Beer Born in the Hill Country

We brew a variety of 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. We’ll have a range of styles, all balanced, approachable, and low abv (mostly!). Crisp and dry on the palate, but at the same time, soft and drinkable.

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

Bottles may be enjoyed here at the brewery or to-go.

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.

Zenith — Oak-Aged Petit Saison

NEW RELEASE
Collab with True Anomaly Brewing Co
This easy-drinking farmhouse ale delivers delicate flavors of white wine, lemon, mineral, and light oak
tannins with a dry finish. Rustic and lightly tart, this brew started as a grisette with a touch of flaked oats, then aged in French oak for six months until it reached the peak (the zenith!) of flavors produced by the house culture from True Anomaly.
Tart • Lemon • Oak • Rustic • 5.3% abv
8 oz / 0.5L Carafe / 500mL Bottle
Stonewall — Lambic-Style Ale with Peaches

Vista’s most awarded barrel aged beer is back! Limited quantity draft and bottles, third vintage, awards from the national Good Food Award, Texas Craft Brewer’s Cup, and the Fredericksburg Craft Beer Fest.

500mL Bottle
Rosé Gose — Wine Barrel Aged Gose

This refreshing gose began with Texas-grown malt, Vista’s aquifer filtered well water and lactobacillus. Brettanomyces bruxellensis and time in the inky red Cinsault barrels from William Chris Vineyards have transformed this gose into a beautiful pink rosé-like beverage, with fruity notes of the wine and soft mouthfeel. The first sip is lemon, followed by strawberry.
