    Flight - Mead , Pils, Hefe, Mex Lager

    Solid Pilsner beer and great outdoor seating! Would recommend getting a flight to try out 4 items on the menu. We were very pleased with the berry mead as well, so tasty! Service was laidback and friendly!

    Stopped back out here a few weekends ago. We first visited during 2020 shortly after we moved to the area and so happy to return. They had many new beers to choose from so we got a flight and a few pints of ones we enjoyed last time. I love when breweries offer flight options! Nice clear and large tv screen board listing the beers available with some info about them. They currently even have a Mead option. My current favorites are the Morning Venom(coffee stout) and the Texas Hefe(wheat beer). Fast and friendly service from the beer tenders, great pours. Cute live music stage area outside and in their first entry room. They always have an absolute fire food truck when we're there! Recently it was Bahler Street Pizza. Most other customers there brought their kids or dogs, or both. There is a limited parking area, but you can usually find more parking on the street that is still very close by. This brewery has one of the coolest logos I have ever seen for a brewery, memorable and unique!

    A great brewery I came across while exploring Georgetown. This is a dog friendly establishment with plenty of seating inside and out. They have board games available and also a food truck available for food options. There are plenty of beer options for all you beer lovers just about something for everybody. I got their mead which was really delicious. The service was great and beer filling and delicious. Definitely a spot I will keep on my radar in the future.

    Been coming here a while, always superior beers, and super friendly service. A bit of a drive for us, but we are always welcomed like we live just around the corner. Beers are tasty and refreshing, and the staff is always helpful. Large outside area with fans and overhead cover, sometimes live music on the little stage - fair amount of room inside as well, when it's 100+ outside. They always have their food truck schedule on their Facebook page, helps take the mystery out of what might be there. Every food truck when we've visited has been really, really good!

    Great spot to grab a cold one and chill... If you have a four-legged friend, bring them along. Good amount of space inside and out... It was a hot Saturday afternoon when I visited - The Irish red beer was very tasty and satisfying... And the out door seating area was actually pretty comfortable. I had a phone call I wanted some privacy, so I went outside... And SHOCK I was the only person outdoors... Lol. But it was still very comfortable despite the hundred degree temperature Friendly staff, cold beer which tasted great and made locally right there... Will be back to taste other concoctions. If you have not tried them, you should. Parking might be a challenge but don't let it deter you from checking out this establishment.

    Took the drive to Georgetown cause we really wanted to have some beers with the pups. Super dog friendly environment. Maybe even a little too dog friendly, there were some people letting their dog roam free. Had about a dozen different beers on tap. Both IPAs were good. The peach habanero heff was a good amount of kick. Strawberry pop tart heff was great for the summer heat. Kind of warm inside, but it was 100 outside. Outside had some fans going on their patio. Looks like a cute area when it isn't so blazing hot. Food truck outside was decent. They also sell some snacks inside. Lots of TVs around the building. Seems like an ok spot to catch a game. There was a lot of kids running around that were distracting. Probably the biggest downside. Otherwise, staff was super friendly and made the spot enjoyable.

    Good beer, good music, lots of doggos, can't complain! Try their IPA offerings, they're a nice change of pace from other local breweries in the area. They've got a rotating menu so the beers are ever changing. It's extremely dog friendly so bring your four legged paws! There is also a pizza food truck that has some really good smelling pizzas. We will surely check it out next time we come back. The staff is friendly and has great advice.

    Stopped by to watch an Austin FC game and was pleasantly surprised to find that they offer a 10% discount to anyone wearing AFC gear on game day, two thumbs up. The space is large and the beer is good. I tried an IPA and a pilsner. There are a few arcades in the back and enough TVs throughout to keep everyone interested. My only complaint is that the game sound was not turned on, so I was distracted by people talking, dogs barking, etc.

    Blackberry Mead & Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Porter

    I had been wanting to visit this place for a while. It was worth the wait! Everyone there was very nice and knowledgeable about beer. Two things that I always look for in a brewery. The Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Porter was amazing! Bold, chocolately, crafted beautifully! My wife had the Blackberry Mead which was also a treat! Definitely is going to be a place I visit more often!

Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The brewery is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the beer is excellent. It's one of my favorite places to sit for a while, enjoy a beer, get some work done, and then head home with a couple of pizzas for leftovers. The online ordering system is also incredibly convenient. I can place my order before I leave, see exactly when it will be ready, and time the drive perfectly. Everything is hot and ready when I arrive. There are good local pizza places much closer to where I live, but I still choose to drive about an hour to Obsidian Brewery because that's how good it is. Excellent food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere make every trip worth it.

    One stop shopping for primo eating and drinking good times…read more * * * Obsidian Brewery makes beer. I have no idea how the beer is. I may visit Obsidian Brewery time after time after time after time and never find out how their beer is. This is because a) They have an outstanding bar and b) They have an outstanding kitchen. For me, beer is a hardship beverage you drink when there is nothing else better available. When I go to a bar, I can sometimes be looking for mix-mastering. Usually I am looking for outstanding top of the line hard spirits. * * * When I walked into Obsidian, I looked at their bar. It was love at first sight. In front of me were twenty yards of three shelves of the most wonderful bottles I could possibly imagine. Half of them I had never heard of before. * * * I settled on a Buddha's Hand Gin. Buddha and Gin rarely appear in the same sentence Never mind the same label on a bottle. I ordered it straight up. I went immediately to Nirvana. Forget the meditation and the austerities. The Buddha's Hand Gin was as good as a trip to the Himalayas. Buddha's Hand is an obscure citrus fruit that grows multiple protuberances the way some horseradishes do. It is golden and looks like a hand. Ergo the name. The Buddha's Hand Gin is a citrus tinged gin with an edge more like orange zest than like orange juice. The additional botanicals make it strong, attention grabbing, fruity and yet combative. I was absolutely fascinated. Note that Buddha's Hand Gin is only one of the many items they have to explore there. I am totally ready to do more exploring. * * * The kitchen at Obsidian is also of distinction. The savvy local guide I came with adored his Thai Curry Wood Fired Rings. I went with a Cheesy Bread. This is open-faced grilled cheese on a thick slice of bread the size of a shoebox, with a wonderful homemade tomato sauce on about 1/3 of it. It is the best cheese pizza you have ever had. It is what cheese pizza is supposed to be if you don't use the standard canned ingredients that institutional providers sell to Domino's. I was as in love with my cheese bread as I was with my citrus gin. * * * The company was also outstanding. Which is just as well because Obsidian is a social place. Lots of Leanderthals having a fine time in couples and groups. This is not a loner's loser bar. You know - the dark rooms with misfits drinking their sixth beer while watching TV. This is a good folks good times full-of-sunlight place. So you definitely want to come with good folks. * * * Good food, good bottles, good people. And if you are feeling chipper, You can even have a homemade beer to celebrate.
