Real Ale Brewing Co & Real Spirits Distilling Co - Blanco, Texas

W M.

Real Ale Brewing Company in Blanco, Texas, is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a great selection of Texas-brewed beers and spirits. The brewery offers a wide variety of craft beers, all brewed on-site, along with a distillery that produces some excellent spirits.

Parking is ample, so you won’t have to worry about finding a spot, even during busier times. The outdoor seating area is spacious and inviting, perfect for enjoying a cold drink in the Texas sunshine. Inside, you’ll find long bench seating, which is great for groups or just relaxing with a pint. The brewery is also pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.

One unique feature of Real Ale is the taproom, located upstairs. It offers a cozy and comfortable setting, but if the weather is nice or the crowds are large, they open up an additional outdoor tap. This thoughtful touch ensures that everyone can enjoy their favorite brew without long waits.

Whether you're a local or just passing through Blanco, Real Ale Brewing Company is a fantastic spot to unwind with some of the best craft beverages Texas has to offer. Highly recommended!

I am a disabled beer aficionado so I did appreciate the handicap parking and the elevator to the taproom. It would have been nice for there to be a table without benches but ultimately I found a spot at the end of one of the picnic tables to park my wheelchair.
We both enjoyed our beers though I felt they were a tad flat. The cocktails we had with their spirits and the mocktail were outstanding.

I’ve been dreaming about going to this brewery since the first one beer I had many years ago. The beer was devil’s backbone long ago. The parking is large and spacious. We went on a Saturday afternoon. Please look for signs as you enter the area. I couldn’t find the entrance until I saw the signs. You will follow up two flights of stairs to enter the Tap Room. We saw an elevator sign but never found it. I would you recommend you get there early to find a seat inside. The outdoor seating was a better atmosphere than indoors. Just be careful ordering beer upstairs and bringing it downstairs. I heard they have a place to order beer in the outside seating area but wasn’t open at the time. Overall well worth it. Cheers!

Fantastic beer and liquor! I'm no
connoisseur, but very much enjoyed both flights. Nothing I did not like here. Particularly enjoyed the Ned Flanders sour beer, the gin and Crash Pad. Very cool seating area indoors and out. Outstanding staff- friendly, knowledgeable, happy vibes here. Awesome pizza truck. Nice job!

Real Ale Brewing Company offers a thrilling experience that's both impactful and community-focused, supporting local non-profits with excellent organization. Their selection of beers, including favorites like 'Swifty' and 'Ain't Skeered,' brings a unique local flair to the brewery. It's impressive to see a company so effectively combine their passion for craft brewing with active community support.

Real Ale Brewing Company's Ned Flanders Brown Ale is one of the best sour brown ales you'll find in Texas. The flavor absolutely delivers — rich malt sweetness upfront with notes of toffee and dark fruit, followed by a mouthwatering tartness that keeps every sip refreshing. The sourness is perfectly balanced, not overpowering, making it incredibly drinkable. Real Ale knocked it out of the park with this one.

Stopped in for a couple of cold ones on a hot Texas day. It had been sometime since my last visit. Wasn't too busy as the awesome bartender Dub pointed out not many people come in the heat of the day. But as I was leaving people were pulling in. The beer was fantastic and Dub had me sampling different beers just to help me decide. So stop in and enjoy the beer.
