Stop 31, Texas 6/10 on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing Brewery Race 2025 I'll start with the fact that they are between licensing this weekend and can't sell beer. Their solution: FREE BEER ALL WEEKEND. Now, it's impossible to give anything less than 5 stars when it's free! We indulged in 4 Pints & ordered food/tipped back heavily enough to compensate for the freebies. It's simply a beautiful workaround to stay open & stay relevant- plus, staff are still getting paid. We did both the smashburger and chicken sliders - 3 of each & all different styles ($15/ set) - @ $5/ ea, that was kind of high but more variety. The single sammie is definitely a better value. They were tasty. Again, with free beer - hey, still a great deal! The grounds alone are worth the visit. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. They shared the background story for this veteran owned business & it was all just very inviting. The beers we had were all good. My favorite was the dark stout, which was a very solid stout. read more

I've never talked so much about the beer at a brewery as I'm about to. Usually, I end up talking about the atmosphere and how fun the place is to hang out. This place is different, though. They have my absolute favorite bock and my favorite hefeweizen ever! I also had a sample of their Helles, and it was just as awesome. I don't know what they're doing with their beer, but they need to keep doing it! They have plenty of outdoor space with lots of shade, a playground for the kids, and food trucks on site. There's also a small indoor area if you need some air conditioning, but it isn't very big. One warning: the beer lines can get really long on weekends. read more

Veteran-owned brewery (hence the name) with a rich background makes this another great hill country brewery worth a visit if you're in Dripping Springs. We've visited once and are looking forward to a return visit soon. Lots of trees and outdoor seating, live music, food trucks, and a welcoming tap room. So let's talk about that tap room and the pours within it: There are 12 beers on tap (again, hence the name). We've not been through them all but the couple we've were up there with some of the best we've had in Europe. No joke. Like most breweries they have regular beers on tap as well as seasonal pours. N/A options also available. Helles on Wheels is a German lager (oh yes it is) that's light and refreshing. The Hero is also an amazing pour. I'm a huge fan of Hefeweizen and this is one of the best I've ever had. The McGregor actually really reminds me of Ireland. Like a beer you'd find in a quaint village and wish you could take it home with you. Lots of others that we need to get back and try out. Welcoming and fun place. read more

Enjoyed my flight of beers (blonde was my favorite). Decent selection of taps to choose from. I liked the very hill country vibe to the place. Turns out to seating in a few truck on site that wasn't opened yet). Lots of place for kids to run free and play. Fun venue, especially with live music. read more

We had a nice experience coming here after Pedernales. We got two IPAs and shared a burger and chicken burger. We both enjoyed our food and we loved the atmosphere and family run business (which we always love to support!). Will be a great short drive to get out of the city for future date nights. I saw a stage, so I would be extra interested to return when there is some live music. read more

Big space, mostly outdoors. There is a/c in the pour room. Beer is good but not really my style. Nice people and a nice vibe.

Lovely place! Huge outdoor sitting, very chill with our little chihuahuas! Session IPA and rye ale very tasty! Service so friendly and the samosas and chick pea salad delicious! read more

A wonderful chill hill country brewery in the Dripp. Please read the other reviews as it's a great story about 2 GIs who met each other in Germany and shared an appreciation for German bier. There is a beer for everyone from some high ABV German-style beer to a wonderful Czech Pilz. There is a spacious deck with heaters and additional seating on their property. They had a fire pit going when we were there which was perfect on a cool December afternoon. From their website: They brew seasonally small batches which allows them to not use preseratives. This alone will have me coming back for more of their seasonal offerings. Fox 12 is fido and kiddo-friendly so bring the gang and support this wonderful brewery! read more

I like this place. Its large, plenty of seating and who doesn't like a beer with a 10% abv? I was in dripping springs and put this spot on my list. I'm glad i tried it because i will definitely be back. The only part i didn't like was there is no, none, zero indoor seating. So when its hot, babbbby its hot! read more

This was our second stop on a beautiful Sunday. The weather was gorgeous this place has plenty of outdoor seating which I loved. I decided to have the wine rose' it was smooth and a great finish. Leon had some beer which he loves. The entertainment was nice. It was a great experience for me and I'll definitely be back. We had an awesome Sunday thank you 12 Fox. read more

This rating is based on the Fourth of July event since I have only been here during this time. The location itself is great tucked into the Hillcountry with lots of room for parking, tons of tables for relaxing with friends, a huge playground for the kids. This makes it very easy to enjoy some delicious beer and food truck food while the kids have a blast. There is a section near the center that also has fans and misters and a large covered area as well. A live band plays there that has great music for the background of your conversation but not a headliner. They also sell popsicles which IS the headliner if you ask the kids. Truly laid back and gives that backyard feel. Of course the highlight of the night is the impressive firework show which you can see from most of the tables but the best view is to walk to the overflow parking lot and bring your own chair to sit enjoy. I love this local spot to enjoy the 4th but there are some issues that should take it down a half star (couldn't give it a flat 4). There is only ONE restroom for women. One of the toilets is broken. The playset gets abused regularly so the bottom of the spiral slide is broken off. Lastly, if you don't get your food early on, the line is so so long that you may never get it (that literally happened to us). Maybe one day, when it is cooler than a Texas July, I'll make it there to get a better feel of 12 Fox but for now, I'm truly enjoying Fireworks and Fox. read more

I came here on a motorcycle ride with my Combat Veteran Association January 22nd, 2022. It was my first time here and it is on a beautiful road in Texas Hill Country. The company is Military Veteran owned and a very family friendly property. There is a play area with a jungle gym and lots of picnic tables outside as well as a smaller covered outdoor seating area. I honestly didn't see an indoor seating area so I'm not sure if there is one. The covered seating area is where the bar was to order your drinks. They had about 12 beers to choose from some I did a flight of 4; 3 lagers and 1 stout. It was only about $11. The flight was four four ounce pours. They also serve some local wine if I recall. There was a food truck on site serving up great bbq. I had their turkey sandwich and a cup of beans. Both were extremely good. The turkey was freshly smoked or bbq'd and perfectly tender. The beans was saucy with their sausage and veggies. For $15 I was stuffed. They also had small buzzers to give when ordering so you knew when it was ready and worked on the entire property. I really want to return here on a warmer day and in the spring and/or summer. The same road this is located on also has a winery or two I believe so it would make a very good day trip or even weekend adventure to the area to explore all the local spots. read more

The area is nice and spread out with a ton of room for kids. We loved the shade and separation of everything. The idea that this was founded by veterans and gives back to veterans is amazing. The beer itself, I was personally disappointed in. It was too "heavy", if that makes sense. We tried 3 and one I enjoyed but didn't love. It seemed like they were heavier/stronger than they should've been. Plus a lot of "froo-froo" drinks such as mead, etc. made up half their offerings. I get that you need some for people that don't like beer but they had too many. read more

BLUF: Wide open, dog-friendly, outdoor venue with space and accommodations for live shows, playgrounds, and group meet ups. The food from Gummie's barbecue was great and I didn't even need the barbecue sauce. Attentive service and a variety of beers/ciders to choose from. I was running an errand in Dripping Springs and looking for something to break the trip up to get back home. Luckily for us, we wrapped up right as this place opened up but there were already 2 families there meeting up and children taking advantage of the connected playground. There was plenty of parking and there's an overflow lot on the right. Since the temperature had been above 100 for the past few weeks, it was a breath of fresh air to be able to enjoy a covered outdoor area once again. As you pass the playground and approach the main bar area the first sign that caught my eye was the "Buy a vet a beer" sign, some really nice looking merchandise, and a very welcoming bar and staff. Food-wise, I headed to the Gummie's barbecue truck and ordered the brisket grilled cheese and the Kings sliders from the kids' menu. Both were amazing! The brisket in the grilled cheese and the pulled pork in King's Hawaiian buns didn't even need any sauce to be delicious! I won't go into the beers since everyone has their own taste but there was a wide selection and the bar staff was willing to let us sample before we made a choice. Going back to the "Buy a vet a beer", my girlfriend walked up and ordered and asked if she could buy a vet a beer, me :-) with neither of us knowing how it worked. We were immediately told that my first one was covered and graciously denied my attempts to buy two more for the next ones because they just wanted me to enjoy my time! It's a great concept and was icing on the cake of an already great visit. I'll definitely be going back if I'm in the area! read more

We went for St. Patrick's Day, and had a great time. The beer is always outstanding and very reasonably priced. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. Long line for beer but it moves quickly. Have a great play area. If you have some kids it's dog friendly, and they had some food trucks with some outstanding very ambitious food selections.good barbecue on one and pierogi on the other. read more

OMG y'all! What a great place to enjoy a laid back Sunday! I'm sure other days would be fine as well. The day we were there they were having an ice cream contest so we were able to sample some local frozen treats. Love the outdoor area. Picnic tables scattered around for seating, big play area for kids and seating area around the stage where they host local music artists. The selection of beer is incredible. My husband is the beer expert as I look for the ABV rather than the color or taste. Make mine a high one please. We enjoyed just hanging out and had a bite from the food truck. It's a nice place to sit back, enjoy a beer (or two but drink responsibly) and take in the laid back atmosphere. Really love this place. read more

My husband and I stopped here after a hike in pedernales state park. My husband had been here before with his motorcycle group. He told me veterans get their first drink free. Score! We ended up with a cider for myself and my husband got a beer. We grabbed some BBQ from Gummies to eat for an afternoon snack. Definitely grab some brisket from here as it was solid bbq. Bonus for me, it was both gluten and dairy free. Overall a nice chill environment for an Easter Sunday. There was live music, people watching, and good vibes. read more

Love this outdoor spot! Live music, firepits, food truck, lots of seating, play place for kids, super folks. read more

So this place is just getting started and is all.outside. It is run by 2 ex military guys- 12 Fox- was unit name. We really liked the ambiance- outdoor seats (can bring a picnic to accompany beer. Kid and dog friendly), but a nice band that played a variety of music. The beer was tasty. I hope these guys are successful in their mission. read more

Oh, what a great find! The hubs and were out brew hopping a few weeks back and we saw a sign on the corner of a crossing that stated "12 Fox Beer Co" [insert arrow]. Any of you who know me at all know my great penchant for craft beers, especially local, and I'm always up for a new brewery. So, turn left it was. Parked in the large gravel lot. Walked up the trail to the building - HUGE kiddo playscape - I wanna slide! :) Very chill, nice place with a great patio and lots of other outdoor seating. The proprietors/brewers are Army Combat Engineer veterans who learned about and found their love for beer while being stationed in Germany. Hence, they dozen lineup of Euro-styled offerings. They use single sourced malt and rainwater to create crisp, clean suds that aim to please. Of course there's hefe, pils, saison, dunkel...they also do a solid IPA. Highly recommend! Really great folks, brewing their best, and serving one of the most outstanding charcuterie and cheese boards I've seen anywhere...no joke (and you might know that's also my "thing"). Go hang out in the Texas Hill Country, sip a cold one, get your snack on, and listen to live music on select nights. If a band isn't playing, some locals might start a impromptu jam session. What else could you ask for? Cheers! Note: at time of last visit was informed they were going to have 2 food trucks on-site. Icing. read more

This place was recommended to me in a local group I'm in with fellow America lovers! The only thing I'm disappointed in is not knowing about it sooner. Great atmosphere, great service and great beers and I'm not a beer drinker. There is something for everybody. When you visit a place like this your faith and hope in our country will be restored. The news and maybe even your own neighborhood/community could be negative or living in fear of what's to come, get out.. turn off the tv, hang around your fellow Americans and breathe in some good ol Texas Hill Country air! Does a body good. If that doesn't make your mouth water then stay home... Food Trucks! Live Music! Veteran owned! Dog friendly! Face friendly! Goof folks! Oh and beer! Cheers!!! Merica!! read more

Yeah, we really dig this place. A wonderful and eclectic variety of beer choices await for you to explore. This is also a pet friendly And kid friendly place too. Sit under the picnic tables and watch the world go by while you enjoy some of the best beer we've ever had. I also would like to mention the food menu it's pretty solid two. Come on out and get some all over you! read more

12 Fox Beer - Something for everyone - Brewpubs Near Me - Dripping Springs, Texas

We absolutely LOVE this local (veteran owned) BREWERY!!! They have many of their own beers on tap (featured beers change often) and they also feature other local beer, wine, cider and mead. It's a family (and dog) friendly establishment featuring an awesome tactical playground! They have food trucks, live music events, and seasonal family fun events. We are happy to have them in our "neck of the woods". The owners are kind and always welcoming! We hope they stay around for a long time to come! They have over 80 picnic tables spaced outside across the property, so you can pick any table that fits your style! Clean restrooms! Free to use water and ice machine! Changing table! Rona Rules! Great place to have an outside birthday party or celebration! The list goes on and on!!! At at time when our local businesses are struggling to stay afloat, and many are threatened with permanent closure, we are happy to support local business! 12 Fox has gone above and beyond to give back to the community, help neighbors, and support other small businesses at a time in need. read more

I have been coming here for almost two years at this point. Great community, great beer, great food.

Stopped in while out and about on a Sunday. Love the large quantity of shaded seating options. The various brews were all amazing & had me trying different styles I don't usually drink. The bar tender was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure all the veterans & first responders got their first round in the house. The food truck was Black Sheep Soul. I got the grilled mahi mahi. It was spectacular!!! I highly recommend you swing by this place on a hot day for some cold beer, cool shade, good grub, & great company! read more

Enjoyed Octoberfest at 12 Fox Beer Co in Dripping Springs this past Sunday. What an awesome event with vendors selling all kinds of things, food trucks providing some delicious victuals, the Reed Meisters playing some great Polka music, and 12 Fox serving up some incredible beer. Without a doubt...12 Fox brews up some incredible beers. I really loved the Negro Sombrero. One of the best and smoothest beers I've enjoyed in a very long time. read more

My first and only time visiting, I happened upon the best Oktoberfest celebration this side of the Atlantic I have been to yet! What an awesome accidental event to stumble upon, although I'm sure I would've had just as great of a time here were it just a regular weekend. Great beers, fun crowd, lively polka music, very cool artisan craft fair, and one heck of a time in a beautiful beer garden setting. Well worth the drive from Austin if you're visiting! read more

Food truck is amazing. Cute pup to visit, live music and cold beer! I mean... what else?!

Cool brewery!!! Great for adults, kids, and dogs. We walked up to find a great musician was playing on a stage, there was a food truck ready to serve, there's a big wooden playscape for the kiddos, and the beer was good! I really liked the Czech Mate. I saw a frisbee golf net with some discs, too, but I didn't explore that further. We really enjoyed our time here! read more

Nice venue, both inside and out. I had The General and the Panzer. Both very good beers. The place was a little hard to find, but sometimes it's the journey not the destination. This place is local, and Veteran owned. Both pluses in my book. Well worth the trip. read more

This place is a little slice of heaven. Great beer and food and a playground to boot.
