Out of all the breweries I have visited in South Texas, this one seems to have the largest brewing capacity (but is also the LOUDEST).

One thing I didn t realize is that they also distill their own gin and whiskey via the Real Spirits Distilling Co. You can purchase the gin and whiskey here, or you can order a specially crafted house cocktail if you aren t into beer.

This place is clean, up to date, and has friendly bar staff. BUT, it is loud AF, and PACKED. I stood at the bar for my first beer, and although I wanted to try a second beer, I just couldn t get over the loudness, and the bar scene. I d pick a quiet spot at the bar and then other customers would swarm to my area to place their order or mill about and hang out within my personal bubble. I just don t dig that if there s plenty of other open spaces at the bar. So, I fled after finishing my first beer. There are a few outdoor covered seating areas if you want a more relaxed vibe, but it was HAWT!!!

Most of Real Ale s beers can be found in a lot of grocery stores and liquor stores around South Texas, and they have a good variety of beers for each palette, so I suggest skipping the drive out to this brewery and just getting your fix at a local store or pub.

Parking is in a gravel lot and can be confusing. There s a no entrance sign before you drive into the parking lot, but I think it s supposed to be facing the other side street coming into the lot. Looks like it might have been turned around.

There s a collection of pictures of the character Rerun from an old sitcom named What s Happening? behind the far left side of the bar. Ask your server the story behind that.
