Well designed brew house with a beautiful interior and picturesque outdoor seating. They had a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nate was behind the bar and was very helpful. Their selection is not large, but they have delicious options. We are looking forward to many trips to here and the other brewery down the loop. read more

We stopped in at Middleton Brewing thanks to Barks for Beers. Nice place in San Marcos, thanks to Barks for getting us out to visit breweries we might have missed. We had a very tasty IPA, the Crossroads. For Memorial Day they even provided hot dogs and chips, nice touch. The bar is very cozy and welcoming. They have outside seating along with a taco truck. Nice place! Support small business like this! read more

This little brewery is deep in San Marcos. It is cutely decorated with rustic touches and succulents, and the bathrooms are refreshingly clean. They have a big porch downstairs and a spiral staircase leading to an uncovered rooftop that will be very punishing this summer. The smiling beer tenders make sure the popcorn machine is ready for your snacking needs, and a food truck out front is available if you need more. The beer isn't bad, either. There were 5 of us, so we all tried each other's. I liked the Crossvines IPA the best. I'd stop by for another if I were back in town and give the place a longer stay. read more

Great family and pet friendly brewery. Very large with plenty of indoor or outdoor beer garden seating. I ordered a flight, to try all their beers. Their craft beer isn't the best I've had in Texas. Their beer tasted watered down. But the ambiance made up for the taste. The server behind the counter was very nice and friendly, walking me through the various beer selections that they carry. They have a complementary popcorn station. We got some food from the food truck outside. read more

This is perfectly tucked away in the hill country and the spot to spend an afternoon relaxing with friends. My sister and I did a sampler of every beer they had. There was maybe one we didn't love (jalapeño). Solid offerings and very well priced for a flight. They also have to go offerings. They have a food truck outside too, we didn't try it but it smelled good. The patio wasn't overly full but it was obvious there were regulars there. I'm glad we chose to stop in and check it out. Due to distance it's not a frequent spot but I'll definitely take out of town visitors there for a day drive. read more

Beer seems to be hit or miss. But overall it's a great atmosphere, dog friendly (even fenced areas for them to roam). The road is sort of loud, but it's a nice and relaxing atmosphere. The food truck is incredible! The burgers are great and the tots are extra crispy and perfect! read more

I'm going to get this out of the way real quick. There was a cat walking around on the bar. Yes, you heard me. ON THE BAR. I knew it was a dog friendly place, but come on - a cat ON the bar? It even walked over to my side of the bar, sat down, put its leg behind its head like cats do, and then proceeded to lick its butt in front of me. Hey cat, I'm really impressed that you can do that, but you're not getting a tip from me. The staff member that it belonged to shooed it away, but it stayed on the bar. Subtract one star for this show. Next up: As I said, it's dog friendly. VERY dog friendly. There were two dogs belonging to customers roaming around freely inside the place. A third dog was on a leash, but it kept barking at the other dogs. This wasn't outside on the patio, this was all inside. When I go somewhere to hang out and relax, I don't want to deal with barking dogs (in my book, it's akin to bringing screaming kids into a bar). Subtract one star for letting the dogs inside. Keep the cats and dogs *outside* and this would be a five star brewery to chillax at. Beer: They have a decent selection of brews and like most breweries, they have some permanent ones and some seasonals that rotate in and out. They have five or six store bought wines available. Staff: VERY knowledgeable about their beer and can suggest something for you once you describe your taste palette to them. Food: The food truck out front is permanently hitched up here, the one in the back changes occasionally. Plenty of seating inside and outside, there's even a spacious deck on the second floor. Growler refills are $14 and crowlers are $9.40 (buy three crowlers and get 10 percent off). If your selection is over 8 percent ABV, additional charges may apply. One more note about the dogs and I'll put this puppy to bed. There's a fenced off area downstairs to let your dogs run rampant in - put them in there instead of bringing them inside - or better yet, leave them at home. This whole thing with people bringing their dogs everywhere is getting out of hand. I was going to give them two solid stars, but now that I think about it, if they let cats run back and forth across their bars, how clean is their brewing process? It's a cool place with good brews, and I want to like it, but when I think about the animals everywhere, I think twice about what might be in the beer. read more

The beer is great. The food is AMAZING! This place is dog friendly, which is fine. The last time I was there, dog hair was floating in the air and I had to work to keep it out of my food. Maybe next time, I'll eat my food outside! The food is absolutely amazing!! read more

The bartender who waited on us was so so sweet and friendly. We felt very welcomed. We got a flight which I felt was very reasonably priced and tried 5 different beers. Now I'm no beer connoisseur by any means, so I won't even bother rating the beers. For someone who likes beer but doesn't necessarily like anything super strong or any craft beers for that matter, the amber we tried suited me perfectly. This is definitely a cool facility with the rooftop deck and plenty of seating. It just so happened to be FREEZING when we were enjoying our time on the roof. This was overall a great experience. read more

Middleton is a must if you're stopping by or even in the general area. We were driving from Wimberley (a fun day at Jacob's Well) towards the San Marcos outlets, and had to double back even to come to Middleton! We were so glad we did. My bf even walked out with their peach crowler...just a warning though, bring a cooler of some sort so it doesn't explode in your car with the heat! Totally speaking from personal experience, sadly. We shared two rounds of tasters, which come with 5 different selections. So come with friends and try them all! You'll be surprised at how delicious they all are. Middleton is also HEAVEN for Belgian lovers. Good thing we love Belgians. Little did I know that a microbrew outside of Austin would be a great place for craft Belgians. I'm an all-around beer lover--everything except saisons, NE pale ales, and lagers, whereas the bf is a Belgian enthusiast. He always goes for Belgians. So you can imagine why we decided to get a taste of everything Belgian. I also enjoyed their Easy Ride PA, but was not a fan of the chile IPA (to each their own). It was almost impossible for me to compare and contrast the beer quality to the all-around atmosphere of the place. It oozes joy and love--they have brew dogs (and customers can bring doges too) who basically just lie around and nap, PLUS they have popcorn that is self-serve from those tiny machines that you see in Disneyland and other carnival events. Will definitely be back to Middleton. Clean restrooms, and large space indoors for bigger groups (WITH TV's!) and cool fun outdoors games like human jenga outside. There is plenty of parking in their private loose, gravel parking area, and they had a food truck parked right outside. Awesome spot, great beer, fantastic space! read more

Heading to the Texas hill country? Love beer? Make sure to stop at Middleton Brewery! I will confess I am not a huge beer lover but my friends are and were raving about this place so we stopped by to watch the Euro Cup game between Germany and Italy. The brewery is well design with great bar space and patio area. Dogs are welcome so bring your pup, children not so much ;-). Step up to the bar and build your own beer flight you get five picks of 2-3 ounces each for $12. There wasn't a beer I didn't like! From the Porter to the American Red there were all good! Live band was great and the two flat screens more than met our soccer watching needs. So if your looking for a place to get your hops fix in the Texas Hill Country this is it! read more

A MUST for anyone looking for an essential hill country experience. Delicious beer in a variety of styles. Wonderful atmosphere. 2 world famous brewery mascots; Pinky the dog (as white and large as Gandalf's horse). Dunkel the cat (omnipresent and all-knowing) Dunkel is the sweetest cat and deserves to be in the brewery hall of fame. Some heartless punk in the reviews below complained about Dunkel. This same guy has a Lonestar beer as his profile pic, so at least we know he has ZERO brewery review credibility. As a result Dunkel's been banned from the taproom. So, Thank you, Lonestar bro, for driving out from your big city to a enchanting, rural, authentic hill country brewery and complaining about an animal for no good reason. Knowing the type of compassionate, animal-loving people who frequent this place, I'm sure we can rally together to #FREEDUNKEL. read more

The COVID precautions are great! Tables are spread out indoors as well as in outdoor seating. I was impressed with the table cards that help guest determine if tables are clean or in need of cleaning. Overall very clean space. As it relates to the atmosphere, like mentioned kept very clean, and customer service is great. Service was great inside was helped decide what drinks to get and given samples of a few to help make decisions. Service was also great outside with the food truck. For the quality and experience the price for everything was great! The beers taste amazing and the kombucha was fantastic. The burgers were very tasty. Best burgers I've had in a long time. A sight you just see for yourself! read more

Didn't have a drink, but stopped in for the experience...It is a very cool vibe!!! Singing, dancing, drinking on a Friday night = Perfection! I was jealous I couldn't stay. If only I lived in the Hill Country, I would do this all the time. There was a live band. There is a dance floor. There are two food trucks. And, there is plenty of beer to try. The location is between Wimberley, Canyon Lake and San Marcos...As the Hill Country grows, places love me this are a great option for all those migrating South! read more

My wife and I took my cousin and his wife for a visit on a quiet weekend. My wife and I are avid animal lovers and thus it's hard to describe our feelings about this place. On entering, there were numerous dogs wandering around and a cat walking across the bar, and after we sat down there were animal feces and urine on the floor. Needless to say, this was offputting to our group. Unfortunately, we did not notice the animal waste until we had already ordered. The service was average and somewhat lackluster. Nobody checked on us after we ordered our beer. As for the beer, it was good quality craft beer but nothing stood out at us. Take him away the issues with the animal waste, we still would not have found this an impressive venue and probably would not return. This is truly a shame, given the place's 4.5-star reviews on Yelp. read more

Loved Middleton before COVID, managed to still support them during, and am delighted to be back now that we're on the road back. They spent the pandemic brewing up some tasty new beers to add to their already delicious standards, I think Good might have replaced Third Coast as my favorite while Evil has supplanted my husband's usual Juicy Visions. And have to give a shout-out to the edition of the Burger Truck--wonderful, especially the bacon/Brussels sprout combo (I know, sounds weird but so good!). We were so worried about our local hang-outs surviving the pandemic and couldn't be happier that Middleton not only survived but is coming back stronger than ever. read more

I nearly had a heart attack when I opened the door and two dogs charged outside! OH CRAP I let someone's pets loose...are they gonna run into the road?!?!...are they microchipped????...will they come back?? *HYPERVENTILATING* Can't. Breathe. HELP!!! "Calm down, lady... It's ok. They'll come back" said some dude. *Phew* Apparently dogs roaming the premises is business as usual here. I saw at least 3 dogs and a cat. There may be more. They belong to the owners & employees I was told. I would have known that had I bothered to look up this spot before coming. So dogs, cats, kids...all are welcome here. Must be 21+ and human to be served alcohol however. Friendly staff. Private parking. Great local brew choices, craft beer, etc. Delicious food offerings from Slingin' Sliders food truck. Definitely worth checking out. read more
