I finally stopped in at LT Mesquite Brew while on a motorcycle ride. I've passed this place numerous times so I thought I would check it out. I was pleasantly surprised because in the pictures on Yelp I thought there were only picnic tables. But thats not the case, there are plenty of high top tables in there too. Really nice area for watching games while enjoying your craft beer. I ordered the brown ale and it was very good. I didn't order anything from the kitchen but the food coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. I will definitely be back, this place deserves some further investigation. read more

Kicking myself. Kicking myself in the arse from ATX to El Aguilón (Eagle Pass). Why? Cause I'm a fool. Been a freaking fool for at least the lastt years, if not longer. Soooooooo on the drive to Eagle Pass, on HWY 90, right past Castroville, there's LT Mesquite Brewhouse. Apparently it's been there dince 2018 and my stupid ass has seen lthe building but never noticed the business. Anywayssssz-uhhh. Its a microbrewery and kitchen and cranks out great beers, food and desserts. Had their football Sunday special: smoked buffalo wings. Gotta be honest, these wings are magnificent by themselves. Their hiuse made buffalo sauce elevates them but simply the smokeyness is outstanding. They're tender, juicy and smoky. All their beers are solid. Flights are a nice wsy to sample their beers. And honestly, the beerd they're crafting out here are better than some of the ones at larger craft beer places. We had the white chocolate cranberry cookie and it was phenomenal. We paired it with the dunkel and stout and Jesus F. Christ! Mind blowing. You should know that they use some of their beer grains in their cookies and this cookie was just delicate, sweet, crunchy but not too decadent. So yeah, I've been missing out these years, after traveling between SA and Eagle Pass. DON'T BE LIKE ME. Shout out to Sean, out server! Fantastic dude with great recommendations. read more

I've been all over the state trying different breweries, and this one has definitely made my top 5. Great Beer, Excellent food, amazing service, and a very homey atmosphere. With football season right around the corner, this should be your go-to spot. I highly recommend their pizza and Pilsner, but they also have a variety of other beers that are 10/10. read more

We read reviews before we went and we were not disappointed. Dani was very sweet and offered lots of love to our doggo. LT's was out of a few beers and their dog treats, but our dog got a free sample and she loved it! We will for sure buy some next time we pass through. We got the Brewhouse dip sub pretzels instead of focaccia, the highly rated Reuben, and brisket sliders. Everything was delicious! They had lots of TVs and tables, which would make for a great watch party. Overall we were very pleased with service, vibes, and food. read more

Ok, we have been here many, many times. Their beer selection is decent (and they have an IPA under 7% so that's ALWAYS a plus), and their pizzas are good. The staff is fantastic. Atmosphere is always relaxed. Green chile queso with chips or soft pretzels is always solid. Recommend the Brewhouse pizza as well because it's always good. No meat on it, but the artichoke, sun-dried tomato, and goat cheese all make it fantastic. read more

The Blonde and West Coast are both good. Nice laid back atmosphere. Castroville is a solid stop on the way to the Frio. Hit Dziuk's and get some jerky and jalapeño parisa (give it a try) and pair with LTs beers and that's a good start to a river trip. Next time through we are getting the pizza w a side of bacon strips. Both looked great. If you see a guy in scrubs, say hello. The Dr owns the place and was pleasant to talk to. read more

Stopped by on a whim a few weeks ago. It was earlier in the day so we were the only ones there. The server was super enthusiastic and very energetic. He recommended a few of the pizzas on the menu so we went with his recommendation for the one with brisket. Over all, it was enough to make me want to go back and try others that they have. I'd say, 7/10. Having a sweet bbq sauce that balanced the saltiness of the brisket would've been better in my opinion but it was worth the trip. We tried two of their beers as well. The place looks like it would be an amazing time at night. I'll be back! read more

This place was pretty quiet when we went on a Saturday and we don't know why because the food was great! We ordered brisket nachos and they make the chips there! It was soooo good! My husband liked the beers and the sangria was also good! We would definitely recommend! The service was also amazing! read more

My husband and I were excited to try this new small business, we love supporting small and local businesses! It's a neat setting, tucked off the highway in a more warehouse style building, small parking lot. As we entered there seemed to be plenty of family style seating and a couple of different rooms with more seating. We sat by the bar at a table that was for socializing and meeting new people. We were welcomed in and the service was very good, although a little slow, they seemed short staffed. My husband ordered a beer flight and said it was ok, he only really enjoyed one of the beers. I ordered a mint lemonade, it came 3/4 full and no ice (?), but it was good and refreshing. We were quite disappointed with the food, I ordered a pastrami sandwich and it was heavy on the sauerkraut and pickles and very light on the pastrami so it basically tasted like a sauerkraut sandwich. My husband ordered the brisket slider which had a funny taste, almost bitter, I did not care for it. The chocolate chip cookies were probably the best part of the food we ordered and even those had a funny texture but tasted good. Needless to say, although it was good service we will most likely not be returning. It did look like they may have live music but I do not know what the schedule was for that. read more

We visited on our way out to Garner State Park. The guy working was super nice. We split a flight of beer. We enjoyed the large selection they had, but didn't enjoy all of the beers we tried. We enjoyed the Mexican lager the most. We also ordered a pizza. It was good but it could have been improved by being a little warmer. We will definitely return if we are in the area. read more

We have been here a few times and each time has been a mostly great experience! The beers are decent and the pizza is wonderful! Definitely give the Detroit style crust a try. YUM!!! It's so interesting how they haven't finished the interior. Despite this, it's quite a charming place! Although it would do nicely to hide the cluttered storage area upstairs. Maybe some curtains or something? It's a great family-friendly place and has so much potential to grow. The first time we came was around Christmas time and we had the wonderful treat of hearing Anthony Garcia for the first time. WOW! What a talented man! Each time he returns we make sure to book a reservation for a table. We have been three times now - each time to see Anthony Garcia. That leads me to our last visit this past weekend - I saw on Facebook that they were charging a cover now. Only $5.00, no biggie! For talent like Anthony Garcia that is more than reasonable. I called 2 days prior to make a table reservation and was told they would require a $25.00 deposit - also new! It was explained to me that this would go towards the tab - okay, also makes sense! The part I thought was strange is that they wouldn't give me any receipt or email or any sort of written verification that I put down a deposit. I girl I was speaking with told me her manager said that I could check my bank account and that would be my verification. Hmm. Just my two cents - but that was not helpful at all. I'm well aware I can check my bank account. If you are going to charge a deposit - make a plan for some sort of a receipt. Plain and simple. It's a measure of professionalism. Now for the last thing - while I was on the phone with the kind girl that kept asking her manager my questions - I decided to double check if there was really a cover charge for Saturday (since that was a new to me thing I saw on Facebook) the manager got on the phone and said NO there would be no cover charge. Okay cool! Well, this wasn't the case and when we explained this conversation to the lady at the register she unfortunately seemed very annoyed with us. How disappointing!!! I wasn't trying to get out of paying anything at all. I simply had asked all of these questions ahead of time and the staff was giving me conflicting information. I know owning a business must be so hard and stressful but getting everyone on the same page and providing a certain level of customer service is so important. It set the tone of the evening off on an awkward note, but thankfully once Anthony started playing it was a wonderful experience, as always. I recommend giving this place a try! Just be prepared - seems like they are still figuring things out and the staff may not all be on the same page. read more

We are so happy this place is close to home! Great beer, great pizza , great service and great live music! Our waiter went above and beyond. Kitchen was staff limited so they were only offering pizzas but they were generous enough to make my nephew ( who does not eat pizza) a sandwich. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended read more

The focaccia with olive oil was delicious. Beer was excellent. I recommend the Belgian Brown IPA. Service was friendly, but ambience was plain, like a warehouse setting. Also, thank goodness for GPS because the building is not marked at all - not even a sign. read more

I am but two things: a craft beer enthusiast and an introvert. As counterparts they work perfectly. But when combined together it can be problematic. The irony is that as Covid encourages us to self- isolate I find I am frequenting breweries more readily. Even in a scene that is contingent on our visibility I crave more simpler times. Which brings me to LT Mesquite Brew Co. in the outskirts of Castroville, Texas. Fast forward to an impromptu visit to Dziuk's Meat Market which culminated into a wild goose chase. Firstly it is hidden in the boonies between stretches of highway and taxidermy shops( right across from Robbins Propane Co. to be exact). If not for the sign that said, "Fresh Beer" along side the building the trip would've been fruitless. My first impression is that it is really, really small but has ample parking. It shares its business with an adjoining healthcare service, who happen to be the owners. Whenever I enter a new taproom I am informed by my anxieties. I begin the litany of questions: Will the place be welcoming? Will staff be friendly? Will the product be worth the travel from city to town. Actually thirty seven minutes from San Antonio. But as luck or fate would have it this little taproom was pretty awesome. Solid beers followed by excellent service. Mrs. Cindy, who happens to be the owner and brewer directed me to a dry erase board. On it was a very limited taplist. It comprised of beers simply labeled on tap handles: Stout. W.C. IPA. Brown Belgian IPA. Wheat. Brown Ale. Pilsner. During these precarious times I have experienced places leery of giving samples. Instead I was given healthy samples with an explanation of each. I did try the stout, west coast ipa and the Belgian ipa. While I did enjoy the stout I felt it would benefit from having more body. The west coast ipa was good. But as luck would have it the keg tapped out in the midst of my pour. Before succumbing to hop hyperventilation her tapmaster brought me the Begian ipa. I must say I have had only one before and this one was solid. It wasn't too bitter instead smooth and luscious. I would remiss if I didn't conclude this review with the most important component to any business and that is the personal touch. What I mean by this is the attempt to make a connection to the patron via staff or owners. When a place is not busy this is the most optimal time for this to occur. Whilst drinking my final round I blurted out, " So what made you decide to open this place?" Mrs. Cindy sat down and explained herself. Twenty something years ago in college she dreamed of opening up her own brewery. She added that being a healthcare professional has provided her now with the opportunity to realize it. Her greatest wish is to have her taproom fully renovated with patrons filling up the picnic tables. Since March of 2020 everything has been put on hold to include our dreams and lives. Ever so often a place peeks through the darkest clouds and says maybe things will be alright. To me this is what the LT Mesquite Brew Co. represents. Personable service. Excellent tapmasters. Solid beers. Welcoming place. Charming decor. Country Music playing as the soundtrack music. If you happen to be in idyllic Castroville and want to sample the local flavor give this place a try. They'll leave the lights on for you. ps. I don't know why but I felt like any second Kenny Rogers was going to come in singing, "Lady." read more

Food was delicious! Vibe was also great. Beers on tap were good, the flight is great. However a bit overpriced... cider was $14/pint! But the menu is a bit confusing so it looks like the pint is $7. The 22% gratuity added to parties of 8 or more is a bit steep. The service was terrible..messed up order, forgot to bring water after being asked twice. Just a reference there were maybe 15 total people there (and 8 of them were our table). Friends say the other servers there are great so may give it one more chance....but not sure I'm sold. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, yummy beer! We tried the chips and queso which was delicious. The perfect Saturday outing.

Honestly, not a bad thing on the menu. Amazing amazing amazing family and team that run the place. A regular stop for us on our way home to Hondo! I would give it a try! read more

Outstanding pizza and nice friendly staff! They opened right before Covid and are cranking back.

Fabulous food and excellent beer! Fun atmosphere!! Give it a try you won't be disappointed!!

The variety of beer is surprising for a small place. The beer prices were comparable to other craft beer places, and I would place the quality of the beer at above average. The atmosphere is great for just hanging out and watching some NCAA football while listening to a mix of easy-listening country music, even heard some John Denver in there. We like the idea of board games being available for groups that just want to enjoy some quality time together. Now, the negative. The food prices are way too expensive for the quality and portions. $16 for three pulled-pork sliders and a handful of chips? $18 for a small, skimpy plate of brisket nachos, which mostly included the crumbs from the bottom of the bag of chips? We did appreciate the sliced-up, fresh jalapeno pepper. But then charging a $1 extra for a few small dices of tomato and a tablespoon of sour cream? Charging $19 for a skimpy plate of brisket nachos is unacceptable for a mom-and-pop craft beer joint. BJ's Restaurant Brewhouse charges $16.95 for four BBQ Trip-Tip Sliders with Fries & Dill Pickle Slices. They charge $17.95 for a huge plate of brisket nachos, complete with sour cream, guac., and pico. Blue Star Brewing Company charges $16.50 for a huge plate of loaded nachos with brisket. BJ's and Blue Star are considered pricey places for most common folk, places that most people only visit during happy hour to get discounts. LT Mesquite, please consider your potential clientele. Most country folk out here don't wanna drop big money for skimpy appetizers. read more
