Where To Buy

 Beer Born in the Hill Country

We brew a variety of traditional styles which pay homage to European origins, while highlighting our own Texas Hill Country terroir.  All of our beers are made with water sourced directly from the limestone-filtered water well on the property, 450 feet below the surface in the Middle Trinity aquifer. We don’t alter this water in any way, and let our beers showcase this beautiful, mineral-rich natural resource.  The end product is an elegant and dry beer, made to be enjoyed under the shade of a Live Oak. We’ll have a range of styles, all balanced, approachable, and low abv (mostly!). Crisp and dry on the palate, but at the same time, soft and drinkable.

The Tasting Room draft list shown here is subject to change, as we rotate beers often.  Be sure to check our Beer To-Go cooler for bottles of barrel program beers no longer on draft - drink onsite or take to-go.

Barrel Program

Bottles may be enjoyed here at the brewery or to-go.

Vista’s barrel program is built around freshly emptied wine & spirits barrels sourced from our neighbors here in Central Texas. We currently have barrels aging with Brettanomyces ales, Belgian-style lambics (some with local fruit, such as Fredericksburg peaches) and small batch variations of our beer garden recipes.

  • Shine — Wine Barrel Aged Saison with Fresh Texas Peaches

    —- NEW RELEASE —-

    This delicious peach brew embodies the Texas Hill Country! It is rose gold tined and medium bodied with subtle peach aroma, notes of lemon and a classic dry saison finish.

    This recipe uses saison yeast, Brett Brux and a touch of lactobacillus, creating a delicate base for fruit. We refermented with over 350 pounds of fresh Texas peaches from Vogel Orchard in Stonewall, Texas and conditioned the beer in Texas red wine barrels. The time in barrel builds balance & complexity, creating a delicious, refreshing, and complex brew.

    Peach / Lemon / Spice / 7.0% abv

    8 oz Pour / 0.5L Carafe / 500 ml Bottle

  • Desert Skies Paloma — Sotol Barrel Aged Gose with Grapefruit

    The 5th in our collab series with our neighbors Desert Door. Don't miss this crisp, light and cocktail-inspired.

    Light / Grapefruit / Botanical / 4.0% abv

    8 oz Pour / 0.5L Carafe / 500 ml Bottle

  • Daydreamer — Barrel Aged Sour Ale with Strawberry

    This delicate ale gets tartness from the bouquet of mixed cultures working in harmony: saison and kviek, plus lactobacillus and two strains of brettanomyces. After six months aging in neutral oak barrels, the addition of strawberries brings a fruity complexity to this wild ale.

    Tart / Dry / Jammy / 6.0% abv

  • Zenith — Oak-Aged Petit Saison

    Collab with True Anomaly Brewing Co

    This easy-drinking farmhouse ale delivers delicate flavors of white wine, lemon, mineral, and light oak
    tannins with a dry finish. Rustic and lightly tart, this brew started as a grisette with a touch of flaked oats, then aged in French oak for six months until it reached the peak (the zenith!) of flavors produced by the house culture from True Anomaly.

    Tart • Lemon • Oak • Rustic • 5.3% abv

    500mL Bottle Only

  • Rosé Gose — Wine Barrel Aged Gose

    This refreshing gose began with Texas-grown malt, Vista’s aquifer filtered well water and lactobacillus. Brettanomyces bruxellensis and time in the inky red Cinsault barrels from William Chris Vineyards have transformed this gose into a beautiful pink rosé-like beverage, with fruity notes of the wine and soft mouthfeel. The first sip is lemon, followed by strawberry.
