Twisted X Brewing Company

Twisted X works well for an afternoon stop along Dripping Springs’ unofficial beer trail. They’ve got a large, mostly-shaded patio and lawn with picnic tables, as well as a few pockets of chairs that’ll make you feel more like you’re hanging out in a backyard rather than at a brewery. Until you make your way to the tap room, that is. They brew a bunch of styles, but we generally find ourselves gravitating towards something light and refreshing, like the gulf kolsch or Austin lager. A live-fire restaurant called Buffalo Nickel is also coming here soon.
