We’re pouring some Texas history at Bluff SchuetzenFest this Saturday in La Grange! Join us at Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill State Historic Sites to celebrate German-Texan heritage and the legacy of Texas brewing pioneers. The festival is free and fun for the whole family; however, access to the Texas History on Tap Beer Garden is a fundraiser for the historic sites’ education and preservation programs. Grab your beer garden tickets at www.bluffschuetzenfest.org or at the festival gate while supplies last.

This is a great article in the Houston Chronicle about the upcoming Bluff SchuetzenFest 2024 at Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites on May 18. Come see us there and try our the beer we brewed plus many other beers or however many beers you think is the responsible amount 🍻 There will be lots of stuff besides beer too!

Bluff Schuetzenfest is a reimagining of the state's early craft beer culture when German immigrants figured out breweries were a cool place to hang out.

Did you know our friends at the St. Edward's University library archives were featured in Texas Monthly magazine? We feel pretty cool by association. Not as cool as them, but a little cool. Like, we sit at the same lunch table, but on opposite ends. One time we shared chips together. 😎

Beer nerds can head to St. Edward’s University’s Munday Library to check out signs of breweries long-gone, awards, and more.

We are so sad to be losing a big piece of American beer history with the closing of Anchor Brewing Company. They created one of the US’s only true original styles: Steam Beer.
