I've been drinking craft beer since the 80's and Thirsty Pups is brewing some of the best beer I've ever had. Whether it's a hyper-creative brew or a classic beer style, the beer here is sublime. The crew here is warm and welcoming (I feel like Norm from Cheers walking in ) and the patrons are friendly and interesting. And I can bring my pup in too! Thirsty Pups is a jewel and absolutely one of the finest breweries in the country!!! read more

Cute little dog-friendly brewery, not very big, with a fun collection of board games and a decent beer menu. It was the perfect pit stop for us after a hot 3-mile walk in the nearby park. read more

Great beer and great ambience! Super friendly service and family friendly as well! This is a great hidden gem in Castle Hills. Their beers are very unique and we will absolutely be back! read more

This place was pretty lit for a Tuesday afternoon. We went after work and the was a live music performance, people socializing inside and outside. There were a few spots open for inside seating. It's in a shopping center with lots of parking. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They shared their insight on the options and offered tasting samples as well. They do offer a non-alcoholic IPA and I believe some soda options. The place is decorated with art that appears to be available for purchase. The pieces were definitely fun to check out. The vibe was very chill and social. The patrons, many whom had their happy excited pets with them, were also very friendly. An absolutely cool place to check out! read more

SUCH a vibe here. Moderate volume, board games, complimentary water bowls/dog beds, a military discount, and super friendly staff that greet you by name. (I had a tab open but still makes you feel like a friend :)) Great selection of beer and wine, but not overwhelming. Outdoor seating but well behaved pups allowed inside. They don't offer food (maybe to prevent begging?) so eat before but they do have homemade treats for sale. Wish these were everywhere! read more

Thirsty Pups Brewery - Beer flight & pup friendly - Breweries Near Me - Castle Hills, Texas

San Antonio desperately needed this place! I love to take my dog out with me but outdoor bars/patios can be too hot to enjoy some days. We randomly came across Thirsty Pups and we were so excited to find it. They welcome dogs with leashes on indoors. This will definitely be our spot to escape the heat this summer with our pup. Also, they have an interesting selection of brews at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend. read more

This was our first time at Thirsty Puls and it did not disappoint! We were also pleased to see an old brewery friend, Miguel, working there! The beer was tasty and there was plenty of options to choose from. Our only set back is that this place is pretty small and allows dogs. If there are crazy dogs, you (and your dogs) might be right by them. Also, there are no food options (at least we didn't see any when we went on a Sunday). I am not sure if they have food trucks either since the location is in a shopping plaza. We had a great time and will be back! read more

What an incredibly friendly brewery! It feels almost like you are a new neighbor walking in on a block-party on your street. The beers are well-made and definitely have more of a British lean to them, something you used to see all the time in American craft brewing, but that is pretty rare now. My favorite feature is that you can order food from the many restaurants in the surrounding strip mall. I ordered some incredible Afghan food, and they even delivered it to the brewery! read more

The vibe at thirsty pups was so relaxed - I felt like I was at a friend's house. They even offered us a piece of free pie! The beer was really good!! I had the west coast ipa and it was delightfully piney. The stout was delicious too. read more

This is the place to come if you like craft beers and like to take your dog with you. It is a small but cozy building with friendly service. They had a small but tasty selection beers. Of course, there's a dog under every table - pretty cool actually. read more

I had never even heard of this new brewery. That was shocking to me, since I had been compiling a list of breweries to take my buddy two when he comes to visit in a few weeks. I happened upon this place while eating at the Japanese restaurant next door with my retirees last week. Unfortunately, it wasn't open on Tuesdays, or I would have gone in that afternoon. Anyway, my son and I popped in after eating Afghan food next door. The moment we walked through the door, we were greeted by a lady who guided us right to where she would take our order. We didn't have to look around and figure out where to go. I really liked that. She was super nice and helpful as I ordered. I had a flight, like I always do when trying out a new brewery. I wish I could tell you I had two, but I was already feeling bloated from eating way too much for lunch. I decided to try all three of the IPAs on tap today and finish with the Abuelito's porter. My son got a wheat beer, but I don't remember the name. My flight was served on a transparent acrylic paddle board. The lady had written the beer names right on it with an erasable marker. I changed the drinking order when I saw them, and drank from lightest to darkest, as is my habit. I liked all three of the IPAs. But, as I expected beforehand, my favorite was the hazy. There is just something about those citrus flavors in a hazy that really turns me on. The porter was a really nicely crafted chocolate. If we had stayed for more, I would have had a full pour of it. I like a good porter, and it seems like only a few of our San Antonio breweries have them consistently. I like the clean industrial look they have there. It was very comfortable, and the people hanging out there all seemed laid back and friendly. I am looking forward to my next visit with my buddy later this month. read more

A great place for a drink with great vibes and atmosphere. Dog friendly and awesome service. Pups are allowed indoors :) Also there are some pretty great restaurants nearby where you can grab the food or have it delivered while you chug away at your yummy beer. The beer is delicious. The owners know what they're doing. No "trial" period for this brewery. They've started out with steam and the community has taken notice. Definitely will be returning. A great add to the list of breweries in town! Come check it out! read more

First time to Thirsty Pups and it won't be my last! The place has a great ambiance. There isn't a kitchen so you can bring in your own food. The next door Azro will bring the food you offer to you at the brewery and they offer their lunch specials to their patrons which is amazing!! I came for their new beer Ctrl Alt Da Wheat and it was so delicious! Check their socials for the newest beers! read more

Very good food and very good service! Glad we came and we will be back Yelp told me I needed 85 characters so I put this sentence too read more

Great hangout for people and dogs. There were families that brought their kids and they get to watch some tv or play board games. It's a small place with nano size equipment, but they have a good number on tap. I got 10oz pours of the pils, hazy ipa and ube porter. The porter was the best as it has a distinctive ube-coconut aroma that reminds me of an ube shake, but once you taste it, that flavor is light and goes very well with the porter profile. The pils was special too as it had some raw honey(?) notes. You can order food nearby and eat at the brewery. The people that run this place are very pleasant. read more

This is a great spot - cool vibes, the staff is nice. They also had a number of delicious hoppy beers so I'll be back.

Best brewery in San Antonio hands down. You can throw a dart at the beer list and enjoy it, that's how good the brewer is. If you like a certain style of beer, this is the place to go. If you don't know what you like, this is the place to find out the style you like. We love this place because of the people & beers. Just a diamond in the rough. Plus you got some awesome food options nearby. If you are coming from out of town and want to see what awesomeness San Antonio produces, Thirsty Pups is the place. You will not be disappointed. read more

Thirsty Pups Brewery - Great beers! Another great SA brewery! West coast IPA, crystal lite is on point - Breweries Near Me - Castle Hills, Texas

Everyone was very friendly & I love finding another dog friendly place to go for a beer!

Great new brewery. A lot of places around it to get food and bring in. Wish it was closer.

Friendly local joint with indoor and outdoor seating. Pizzeria nearby in the same plaza is a plus! Had a wonderful sour on tap and will be back to try their other menu items. read more

Don't let the lack of pictures or reviews fool you. Stopped in Saturday night and the place was full. Nice little micro brewery in town that has great staff and really good beer. The bartender let me try a couple beers before settling on one and his recommendations for my wife were spot on. It's pretty simple set up and design inside but a good relaxing vibe nevertheless. Worth trying if you're in the area. read more

Excellent new brewery. The area needed a hangout spot. Conveniently located next to several restaurants. Owners are very friendly and know how to brew. read more

Since my daughter and I did our chores and behaved well during the day, Max, our chihuahua brought us to this fine establishment. First of all, this is a brewery with wine on the side. So, you're on your own for real food. That said, I tried their flight - four very flavorful brews. The Heard It Both Ways Lager was very good, normally not a lager drinker, but theirs has me planning on enjoying it in the future. Both IPAs are enjoyable, for me I have to say the Crystal Lite won out over the Hazy IPA. The Porter was much smoother than most I normally drink with a strong note of coffee flavor. I went for a bit more of the Crystal Lite after sampling the flight. My daughter really enjoyed the Blonde. We were able to introduce her friends, who aren't beer drinkers, to some pretty tasty brews with a flight of their own. My friends were able to really enjoy their first visit here as well. On top of all of that we got to play scrabble, dominoes (God only knows what we were doing with that one), and a couple of hands of cards. All in all, a great place with very nice staff and a relaxing atmosphere. The dogs present kept all the humans in line, so let yours bring you here as well. You really don't have to be supervised by a dog to enjoy this place, but I'd borrow one to really be in the spirit of the place. Five woofs from Max! read more
