Fredericksburg Brewing Company

Fredericksburg Brewing Company is known for its Gemütlichkeit (friendliness). That goodtime spirit began when Dick and Rosemary Estenson opened Fredericksburg Brewing Company in 1994; today it’s the oldest brewpub in Texas and celebrating 28 years. 

Visitors can sit at the bar and watch the brewers at work, or take beer to go and stroll the shops on Main Street. The brewers at Fredericksburg Brewing Company brew more than 20 different varieties throughout the year, rotating staple brews as well as seasonal selections.  

Brewmaster Rick Green and company have claimed many awards and the brewery maintains its reputation for quality, fresh beer in addition to being “the granddaddy” of brewpubs.  

The brewery sits in a restored 1890s-era building. In addition to its main room, the brewery has a large, air-conditioned biergarten. The second floor of the building provides “Bed & Brew” facilities, 12 rooms (one on ground level) with baths, each decorated in a different theme. 

The brewery’s restaurant also features a variety of freshly prepared foods, from burgers and pizza, to German food, Scotch eggs, and more.  

Hours are Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m.- 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m
