Ambiance: There was both indoor and outdoor seating with tables, chairs, and benches. The outdoor area had fans, so it wasn't too hot, which was a nice touch. It was also really cool to see all the beer being brewed right there. They had a wide variety of options, which made choosing fun. Service: The service was great! We told the guy at the counter it was our first time, and he asked us what type of beer we usually like. He even let us try a sample before we made our choice, which was super helpful. Border Town: We ended up choosing this Mexican lager since we usually enjoy Dos Equis. I'd say it tasted even smoother than Dos! I honestly really enjoyed it, and the price was around $8 for a pint, which felt fair for the quality.

Don't think I've ever had a bad beer here. Service is walk up, but always a friendly, helpful bartender at the ready. There is normally a food truck on site.

Brewery #384 My…read moreexperience at Copperhead Brewing was a little weird. The place itself has a weird vibe with Life magazine pages all over the walls. I first thought it was wallpaper made to look like Life magazine pages, but some pages seemed to be peeling. I don't mind reading hemorrhoid ads from the 60's while drinking my beer per se, just an observation. The furniture was mismatched like estate sale items picked up from people who wanted to think they were high class in the 1960's. You could probably still smell Lucky Stripes every time you sat on the seat cushions. There was no music playing and there were only 6 or 7 (don't you dare do that 6-7 thing with your hands while reading this!) other people inside. So, I had to listen to this pretentious group talking about opera, the child welfare system and other topics while their noses were up and pinkies were out. There was an older guy on the opposite end of the room that seemed to be loudly mocking them. He thanked me for coming as I was leaving.... was he the owner? LOL. I ordered my standard flight from a very nice lady that seemed to be new. I got 2 IPA's (Mongoose Slayer and Striker IPA) that were solid, a Black Venom stout that was ok and a Belgian Quad (Medusa) that I wasn't fond of. There are no food options, but I assume there are food trucks from time to time. The outdoor area has a few games and tables and a more normal atmosphere. If they had some music to drown out Lilith and Frasier, I'd go back and give them a try.

They need to put a sign up on the tiny road so you don't pass it up. First I will say I came here for a baby shower in one of the private rooms they offer. I cannot comment on the service because I did not need any. I also cannot comment on the food; it was provided by the party. What I can comment on is the parking - it was absolutely horrible! And that is being kind. They had a few spaces available in a field but to get to those spaces you had to drive through a 5 foot hole that was at least 4 feet deep! Thanks but no thanks I don't do off roading! At 2pm this place was packed! There was a DJ, people everywhere, small children everywhere and quite a few dogs. All in all, I am giving the stars for private room because that is what my experience consisted of.

We came about 2hrs before closing so they only had 2 pizzas left and they allowed us to split the pizza in half so that I could try 4 different flavors. These pizzas are rectangular shaped and crunchy on the outside while flavorful and soft in the inside. We ordered the Pepperoni, Motown Medusa, Cluck Norris, and the Dillstroyer pizzas. For appetizers, we got the Hummus Duo to include a side of their ranch dipping sauce. Every pizza was delicious and flavorful. The Motown Medusa was very different and strangely delicious. Even a plain pizza like the pepperoni was different and flavorful. Each pizza had great texture and generously packed with toppings. The pizzas are a bit pricier for the size that you get, but it's definitely better than a cheap Pizza Hit or Dominoes pizza. I don't care for Hummus much, but these 2 were pretty damn good especially the garlic one. They come with these little naan bread and these super crispy crouton-like flat bread which are great. They have a very limited menu so don't expect anything else other than some pizzas and drinks. Staff are super friendly and fast. Lots of parking. Lots of indoor and outdoor tables to dine at. You order at the counter and you pick up your food and sit wherever. There have a little bar with their own drinks. I don't remember the name of the beer, but it was some kind of Blonde which was pretty good. We also ordered the Lychee and Lemon Refresher which was pretty light and refreshing.

We were looking forward to some beer and food and possibly catching the Stanley Cup game. We didn't make it over there until after 8:30, though, and turned out the kitchen had just closed--rats! But they did have the game on and they even stayed open a few minutes later so we could catch the very end. Very nice woman working behind the bar, and at least we enjoyed our beers even if we couldn't sample their food (which looked good). If you're in the area, check them out.

While we were visiting we learned they have a dart league and a corn hole league. We were able to watch the dart league play which was nice. They also have a alternating food trucks Thursdays through Sunday to provide food for customers. When you drive up, it doesn't look like your normal brewery but that is a part of the environment that makes it so cool. Once you get inside, there is table seating, the bar and an area with lounging chairs and sofas if you'd like to have a "living room" feel. There is also an outdoor covered patio to enjoy sitting outside when the weather permits. It was too hot for us to enjoy outside. Talking to Gary, the owner, we learned they have three events a year: anniversary event, October fest and Christmas fest. My husband and I came because he enjoys craft beers. He got "half past hazy," "saloon door ridiculous," "Sierra Nevada," and "big time stout." With the atmosphere and selection of beers, we will back. Thanks Gary for a great time!

Tastes of different beers were freely offered, based off of what we started drinking, and bar staff were clearly clued up on different beer styles and brewing. All in all, a very satisfactory visit to an above average brewery. Real ale fans and beer nerds should add this to your beer stops.

Come to find out days before our trip that Southern Star has decided to shut down at the end of June. Sad to see one of Texas' oldest breweries closing down. I had to get here before they did because their beers are great. It's right off 45 and easy to find tucked away off a side road. The grounds are beautiful as well as the building itself. The inside taproom isn't large but the building itself is so I'm wondering they have more hangout spaces. They also have a nice deck where a lot of people were hanging out. Customer service was great. Most everyone in our crew got a flight so we could try a few things. Prices here are excellent and won't break the bank. That's what I love most about breweries. I went with the Strawberry Blonde, Southern Brunch (citrus shandy), Texas Lager, and Pit Stop (cherry cider). I really enjoyed them all especially the Southern Brunch. My friends ordered some apps for the table such as fried pickles, fried mushrooms and waffle fries. They came out piping hot and were all tasty. I saw some pizzas leaving the kitchen and they looked excellent. They also had deals on whole cases of beer for 20 bucks. Killer deal that my friend took advantage of. Sad to see this place is closing. Great breweries are a dying breed from what I have read. If these places weren't so far I would support them more. I wish everyone in the company well and hopefully see them come back in the future.
