Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport final stop for TX & got us our 4th state win in the Amazing Brewery Race 2025! We were the first patrons to use the Hop Passport this year, though I believe there was another competitor hot on our trail. I love the wide open space outdoors, complete with playground & plenty of space to wander. To boot, the beer was good enough to get another round & hit up the food truck. We weren't there for the market & left before the music started. It appears the 1st/3rd weekend opening strategy keeps seats full! This was a great stop that we've bookmarked for next time we're in the area. Thanks for the win! read more

I love this place. The market days are amazing! The playground and outdoor area is perfect. I love live music and they have a wide variety of artists perform. Their selection of beers is phenomenal and never disappoints. The staff is super helpful and friendly. If you haven't been here before you're honestly missing out. read more

Cactus Land Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Adkins, Texas

Such a large selection of beers; it was hard to pick just five for my first flight. The person who took my order was very helpful with that. Prices were reasonable. Would probably try the blue jean lemonade next time. Sitting under the shade listening to the music and watching the kids run around was nice. Breezy, not too hot. They have an area with a fan and mister but we didn't sit under that, just at a picnic table under the big trees. Note to owners: need to spray under the tables for ants. Singer was ok. Food truck was alright. Everyone was there just to have a nice evening. No one was annoying, one man even asked us to let him know if his cigar smoke was bothering us. Will definitely go again especially since it's not too far away. Suggestion: I saw an FB post that may have been fake for Big Rojo beer with Big Red. Once on vacation I mixed a Lone Star red with Big Red and it was not awful! You should try to brew something like that. I would totally order it. read more

Great beer. Great people from staff to patrons. Good times. Live band. Beautiful property. B Daddy's food truck on site. (Their BBQ is legit). All those things - what is not to like. Besides all that they had a marketing day with vendors offering an array of products and sampling their food creations. Great times. Have already recommended to several friends. You definitely need to go check them out. It's worth the drive. read more

I've been here a couple of times. It's a cute little country brewery tucked away in the middle of nowhere in Adkins, TX. Everyone seems nice and friendly including the folks that visit. They have market days once a month and they usually have a couple of food trucks on hand for events. The brewery itself is small. They have an small outdoor stage and usually have live performers during their events. There are picnic tables outside under the trees. If you want to get away from the city and get a taste of the country life, take a drive and check it out. read more

Father's Day, I took a road less traveled, passed a place featuring Root Beer Floats, Shakes & Mexican Weddings and I eventually arrived at The Cactus Land Brewery. This is an independent brewery open to the public every 1st & 3rd weekend. It's well worth the drive to get here. The Brewery is clean staffed with some of the friendliest people you'll meet. If your not certain what beer to order, they will gladly serve a sample. Food is available at the mobile catering trucks which is where my Melt & Fries came from. There is limited seating inside and plenty of outdoor seating under a huge covered area adjacent a small stage for live music. Check their website for events. The Cactus Land Brewery is Family Friendly, with plenty of parking. Tours of the brewery are also available and do not require a reservation. So, for something different to do on any 1st or 3rd weekend, take a drive to Cactus Land & Brewery. As always, Eat in Good Health. read more

This on has also been a while, since we've gone there. I always have this brewery on my mind when we head out to Floresville, Texas. It on the way. Great afternoon drive, not too difficult to locate. It is down a lonely road. Off 1604 in Adkins. Plenty of parking, grass parking so just be mindful of the shoes you wear out there. No dog poop, just not a smooth pavement to walk on. Yes, animals are welcomed out there. They had a bbq truck, but we went during lent on a Friday, so everything we order was without meat. We had the corn came with brisket. We ordered the brisket on the side for Saturday. We also ordered the baked potato with the brisket on the side. Those two items were very good. The food truck staff was friendly and helped us out with not eating meat. The brewery itself, has plenty of seating, indoor and out door. With an outdoor area covered for cold and rainy days. They also added another section for private events. Indoor and outdoor. I really like this place for the atmosphere, I love being outside and seeing the sunset. Also love that I can smoke a cigar out there. The beer is pretty good. I tried quite a few and couldn't decide on a favorite. Well, the root beer is my favorite out there. read more

Cactus Land is a true gem. Located on the outskirts of San Antonio, this brewery has a special place in my heart. I sold the property to the owners and have the joy of watching them grow over the years. Their ability to brew unique and innovative flavors is truly refreshing. Dark and sweet Stouts like"Snooze Button" , for example will have you coming back for more. Come on out to La Vernia and enjoy the live music and relax on the patio with your friends. Cactus Land is worth the drive! read more

This brewery and its location are definitely worth the drive- Upon arrival you will notice the expanse of space for customers, friends and their families (yes, pets are welcomed but must be leashed at all times) Sit under the gorgeous and oak tree while sipping one of the top tier beer varietals. Staff is friendly and efficient-don't know what to drink, ask for a sample. Uber nice folks! No on-site food but if you're lucky enough, they have a food truck partnership with "Hijo-Suu" which serves some of the best homemade burgers (messy and delicious) and carne asada We will be back!!!!

Stopped by via a recommendation of a local friend. This place prides itself on being in the middle of nowhere. As soon as I walked in staff immediately welcomed me into the place and they immediately started giving me a run down of all that they had to offer. I ordered a flight and I'd say 4 out of 5 beers were very good. I believe they had 12+ beers on tap that are brewed in house. Very good selection. Large German style selection and all were very good. Their barrel aged beer was very good as well. Overall atmosphere, establishment, service and beers were great. read more

We went there because teachers were offered a free glass during spring break. Their beer is fun to order with the different names of their beers. The brewery has a stage, a playground, clean restrooms and covered areas for seating. It is down a beaten path, but worth the drive wherever you may be coming from. A nice gathering spot. I don't recall if they have their own food, but there was a food truck on the premises. Their growlers look VERY cute. read more

I get it. Lots of options. You are sitting in your comfortable house in San Antonio, or New Braunfels... browsing breweries. There are many closer to you than Cactus Land. You could opt for the 15 min drive.....sure. But, can I implore you to take the 35 min drive? Yes, the hours are weird...but you are smart. Check the website, you can figure it out. 1st and 3rd weekends of the month, Fri/Sat/Sun. Open the calendar app, make an appointment for yourself! With great risk comes great reward. CL is awesome! The beer is amazing, but the vibes are even better. If they are open, there will be food options. Awesome swag. The staff feels like family. No reason not to go! Drink local! read more

This brewery is a hidden gem. Although only open 1st and 3rd weekends, its a fun place to go with friends. Personally I don't drink beer but i have had the homemade rootbeer and it's very tasty. My husband and friends love the vast selection of beer and they say its very, very good. They also have different food trucks there each weekend they are open and almost all of them are great. There was only 1 truck we'll never eat from again because we didn't enjoy thier food at all, we just don't go when they are there. They also have many different events and entertainment to enjoy. You really need to try it. read more

Great beer - get a flight and try a bunch!Family owned, music outdoors on weekends. Dog and kid friendly. We go to a ton of breweries and this is our state of Texas favorite. Always have a really great food truck onsite too. read more

Cactus Land has been on our radar for a while but it seemed like every Time we tried to go they weren't open. Be sure to check their website before making the trek out here! I think they're usually open two weekends a month. It took us a good 45-50 minutes to get here from far west San Antonio. However! This place is awesome and you can make a day out of it and also hit up seersucker (gin/vodka) while you're in the area. They offer beer flights and different sizes of each beer and have a good variety of beers. Our favorites were the Lucas and sienna ale. The staff was super friendly. The inside area is small with only a couple of tables. Outside area is covered and has fans. There is a large yard area and games. They have a stage for live music for the evenings. Great beer and a nice location once you get there! read more

This is such a unique brewery that is off the beaten path but well worth the drive. There is ample dirt parking and plenty of outdoor seating. There is a covered patio but limited seating. You'll also find a small 21+ seating area. Come with your friends or bring your whole family as they have a huge play area for the kids and ample space for them to roam around. They also have games for adults such as washers & corn hole. The entire venue is clean and well maintained. In lieu of Covid masks are required indoors when ordering your beer, and they have hand sanitizer stations setup throughout. My beverages of choice were the Reese's Stout and Hobanero. The Reese wasn't very peanut buttery but it was still a nice light smooth stout. The Hobanero was fun with an IPA touch and not as hot/spicy as I anticipated it to be. You also have the option to have it dressed and I highly recommend it. Besides beer they have wine and soft drinks available as well as light snacks. You can bring in outside food but they do have a food truck on-site. Check their website for information on live music and what food trucks will be there for your visit. If you're visiting or live in the San Antonio area I highly recommend adding this brewery on your places to visit. Especially while the weather is so nice! read more

A gem! We found this oasis tucked back in the woods outside loop 1604 a few weekends ago and fell in love. Beautifully lit Beer garden, live music, outdoor picnic tables and a covered patio. Large play area for the kids with a backyard / residential size "fort" and swing set. They had a dozen beers on tap and a couple wine slushees. We really liked the hazy IPA and the Lucas Pilsner. The peanut butter stout and the amber are also very good. They are only open two weekends a month, so check the website and plan to make some great memories! read more

Cactus Land Brewing - Yard - Breweries Near Me - Adkins, Texas

Craft Breweries in Texas remind me of the stories of lore. Of settlers, prospectors who came here to seek their fortunes. Their only resource an entrepreneurial spirit that led them to certain success or ruin. Cactus Land Brewery in Adkins, Texas continues in that tradition with an absolutely charming place, a friendly vibe and with flavors as spacious this side of the Pecos. Coming from San Antonio it's really not too far a drive from here. It's hidden in a labyrinth of small winding roads punctuated by tractors. I've experienced breweries in different settings: industrial areas, a college town, by the ocean. I must admit experiencing a brewery in the country is unique and a first for me. If you look across the way there is another property with horses. I think I was initially struck by the sight of that, seeing a brewery in the middle of country land. It feels like by design the idea was to contrast the vibe of a brewery with the rugged terrain. For example their taproom is small but exquisitely decorated. The outdoor area is more vast with ample seating and tables. The balance between nature and the urban sensibilities of a brewery are simply yet beautifully stated. I can only imagine this place when the weather becomes cooler, in autumn. Which brings me to all the important things. The aesthetics as I've alluded to are impeccable. I like that there's a visible board with all available taps: names, abv, pour sizes and prices. Above all the service was excellent. The principal owner, southern drawl and all was beyond friendly. I've been to breweries where staff motions for you to make a decision. Here the owner understands that you don't choose a beer, a beer chooses you. As far as their offerings they have something for everyone's taste: gose's, ipa's, stouts and blondes. In addition they offer sampler sizes, flights and crowlers. I tried the "Reese" a peanut butter stout, "Texas Juice" a hazy ipa in vogue at the moment and " Eat your Breakfast" another stout with maple syrup. I think out of all of them I enjoyed the "Reese" the most. Drinking it reminded me of tearing into a package of peanut butter cups. I tend to think they understand that we attach memories to flavors. Thus beers are brewed with this in mind. Cactus Land Brewery is a small place big on charm. The beers have flavors as big as a ten gallon hat, made better by excellent service. This taproom is a perfect escape especially from the hustle/bustle of the city. If you like trying out new breweries put this on your check off list. ps. (Yes there's more!) I don't know why but I felt like any moment George Strait was gonna walk in and say, "Well excuse me but I think you got my chair." read more

Definitely a hidden gem out in the country. When you drive down the road you wonder where you are going but when you live in the area you know. Bringing you live music and great beer on tap is always a plus when finishing out the work week. If you have kiddos and scared of babysitting there is even a play area and a dance floor to enjoy. read more

Hidden gem off 1604.. Its a drive outside of San Antonio, but not too far. Maybe 30 minutes from Stone Oak area if you don't hit traffic. They are only open the 1st and 3rd weekend of the month, making them a "destination brewery." There is almost always live music and food trucks when they are open. There is a playground for kids, super family and pet friendly. They have both their own brews and guest brews on tap. As well as adult frozen slushies, and virgin ones for the littles. The tap room does not offer much seating to escape the heat, but if you can get under the patio, there is misters. And most of the other picnic tables are all under large, shaded oak trees. Staff is super friendly, busing tables constantly. I believe its the first weekend, Sunday, they have a little market days set up. read more

I was surprised to see a brewery in Adkins, Tx when looking to get a drink. My boyfriend and I decided to check it out since it had pretty good reviews. The drive is very scenic and green which I enjoyed. We went on a Friday at 7 p.m. and it was a packed house. There was plenty of parking in the area. They had live music going when we got there and we were greeted with friendly faces all around. There was plenty of seating outside. We got to try samples and the person helping us was wonderful and made recommendations based on what our favorite beer was. The prices were reasonable and we payed $17 dollars for a flight a 10 oz beer. I decided to go with their 10 oz snifter Salted Pilsner with Lucas in the rim. This would have to be one of best beers I have had from a brewery that I loved. My boyfriend got the flight of different beers and his favorite was the Oreo Stout that literally tasted like Oreos. It was delicious and I appreciated the fact that these are flavors you can't find anywhere else. The environment is laid back and somewhere you can go to enjoy the sunset and hear some live music. I will totally be coming back to enjoy a beer on the weekend. read more

Cactus Land Brewing - I asked for the spicy stuff on my hazy ipa-- probably non-conventional but I loved it! - Breweries Near Me - Adkins, Texas

My husband and I wanted to check out this place for a while now but we weren't sure if it was kid friendly! Lucky for us we checked out the reviews before hand and saw that they are definitely kid friendly! Not only was the LUCAS beer delicious the experience and vibe was so chill and relaxing. We got a root beer drink for my daughter, a flight for me and a pint for my husband and combined our bill was about 24$. For us that was such a great price for the enjoyment of the property and live music. The land it sits on is beautiful and when we showed up they had grouchy mamas food truck! There is picnic tables to sit on under a large beautiful tree Or tables and chairs to sit on under a porch like area that has a fan going for the heat. They also offer complementary cups for water. Towards the side of that porch is where they have a playground for the kiddos with two sings and two slides! They also have the land gated where your kids can run and play. If you want to bring a ball for you child to play with it probably would be a good idea while enjoying your beer. Overall I loved the atmosphere! We will def be back!one last thing! The staff was very friendly and helpful! It was our first time so they offered samples of the beer which was perfect for picking my drinks! read more

It was definitely a drive coming out here, but it was an easy drive, since there was not a lot of traffic. There were lots of beer options - ten of them! We got the mother board which is a sampler of all the beers. My SO and I got one mother board to share and sample all the beers. It was a lot of fun and we each had our favorites. There was lots of cute shaded outdoor space, and a patio with misters. There was a tiny table inside, as well, but it's mainly geared towards outdoor seating. There was a Mediterranean food truck on-site as well, we didn't check it out, but it's good to know there's a food option. We enjoyed coming out here and hope to be back! read more

Great spot! The wine slushies hit the spot on a hot day. Plenty of nice shady spots. Wide selection of beers on tap. Live music. Pup & kid friendly. Don't worry, your gps is correct. It's a little hidden. Make sure you go on the right weekends. They're only open on the 1st & 3rd weekends. The tacos and burritos from Lady Picoza's food truck were phenomenal.. read more

Great place to relax and take in the view. Really good beer and food. It's open so the kids can be free range

Came out here with some buddies to try the craft brews. Wasn't sure what to expect because Cactus Land Brewing is basically in the middle of nowhere. The locations is small but very cool, there is a stage where two bands played while we were there. There is a covered patio and it was pet friendly. There were an assortment of beers available for purchase. As a group we had a little more than half the menu, there was a beer for every beer drinker. Give this local spot a try. read more

Looking for something to do on the 1st or 3rd weekend of the month? Then head on over to CLB. They're a small scale brewery who knows what they're doing. They are also one of the few breweries in the San Antonio area, in my opinion, that consistently puts out great beers. Whether you're in the mood for something light and calm or have a hankering for a bit of excitement for the old tastebuds...they wont't let you down. They always have a nice variety of styles on tap to choose from. Check their website before going to see who will be playing on stage and what food truck will be serving up dishes. read more

Take the drive and give this place a chance. It is pretty busy though. Great views and great beer. The band or musician is pretty good too. Pros: price, quality of beer, food truck, music, customer service One con: too many kids running around read more

The environment, scenery, people and brew is amazing! We come here just about every chance we get. They're kid friendly, accommodating and have live music. The set-up is so perfect.

Experienced this place for the first time last night. Kinda pricy.. we paid 31 for 2 flights which give you 5 5oz samples. Very friendly staff who are knowledgeable on all the beers on tap.

I'm not a beer drinker so I appreciated that they offered wine. The beers my boyfriend got were pretty good. His favorite was the lucas Pilsner. The only thing that I don't like is that they are only open rarely ever lol it has taken us a whole year and a half for us to come here when it worked with our schedules. read more

Very friendly and relaxing environment. It was my first time there and the owners made me feel like I was a regular.

Saw this pop up in a Facebook event invite and decided to give it a try and we are so glad we did! First off, we have a 3yo and I was so happy to see that this place is super family friendly. There's cornhole, a playground and plenty of grass to run around in. On top of that they do offer NA drinks so it was easy to keep our kiddo happy. We tried a lot of their beers and I have to say I enjoyed the majority of them. (I may be in love with Raspberry PopPop). They had a good little acoustic set going on and a very nice food truck. The whole thing was incredibly chill and we can't wait to go again but bring friends this time. LOVE!!! read more
