Fitzhugh Brewing

We passed this on our exploration of Texas Hill Country. Decided to go back and see what it was all about. Nice spot with excellent outdoor area. Very kid friendly. Live music on a Sunday afternoon. Multiple beer options. Also wine and some craft seltzer cocktail options as well. Several in our group enjoyed their homemade Chex mix.Sadly we had just eaten before topping, but the food we saw looked delicious!Counter service was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable.

Stopped by this beautiful brewery Saturday afternoon, and wow--this place was packed! Luckily, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a playground for kids and live music to set the vibe.The atmosphere was great, the beers were solid, and we ordered sweet potato fries--crispy, delicious, and totally worth it! I especially loved the watermelon mint seltzer--so refreshing!Definitely planning to come back, and hopefully, I'll snag an outdoor seat next time!

Another trip to the Austin area means another trip to a beer garden I haven't been to, this one in Hill Country. Fitzhugh Brewing has a beautiful building, both from the inside and out, and sits on a large plot of land with plenty of parking and space to sit outside under shady trees. There is a large playground structure if you wanted to bring your kids with, a variety of drinks, not just the beer they brew, and amazing food. Here are the things I really like about Fitzhugh:-The general vibe and aesthetics.-The beertenders were all so kind and extremely knowledgeable. (I spilled my flight and they poured me a whole new one on the house).-There is a place for the kids to play if you have them.-Plenty of spaces to sit, both inside and out.-Offering drinks other than beer, such as wine, cider, and their in-house made hard-seltzers which are definitely the play. -The freaking food! This is the best beer garden food I have had in town. It is incredibly flavorful and easily the best thing about this place. I would seriously come just to eat.Here are some things which I didn't really care for:-Their beer. I started with a flight and ended with a few seltzers because I just really didn't care for their beer.-The sheer amount of kids there and the fact that nobody was really policing them. They were climbing on the playground in ways you weren't supposed to and parts of it (the siding) where actually coming undone and I could EASILY see a kid getting injured in the future. -The dusty outside. I get that it's outside, and in Texas hill country, and you have a bunch of people walking and running outside, but maybe put down some grass seed? I could see it being miserable on a windy day.Overall, a great spot to stop at while in Hill Country!

If you're spending time in the Hill Country and need a break from the rustic country aesthetic come here for clean, bright, crisp farmhouse vibes. The beer tenders were very knowledgeable about the variety of beer that was brewed there and let us know that they change tap selections frequently which is always good to hear from a brewery. The food was just okay, bland and not memorable, especially compared to the flavors of the beer. My favorite brews were the Filipino Ube, how unique! And the Warped Window Hazy IPA. Such a bright, clean, and farmhouse in style. Lots of space for large parties and a great location for bringing along the dog or your children (there's even a nice playground). It can get a bit like Meanwhile in Austin as in overrun with children that are not being watched, but we were there earlier in the day to avoid that. There are picnic tables and chairs scattered about in your pick of sunny or shady areas, with plenty of room to have privacy for your party of people. We had some trouble with flys outside, but we had food and it is a large nature area

We are new to the area making this our first time here. The bartender (kenny) was super helpful with recommending beer for each of us. You can tell he is a genuine good employee who likes what he does. We asked him what are some fun places around the area. He didn't know off the top of his head since he said he's from the Austin area. but said he would look up Some places for us. Which he did, he came over to talk to us at the table. We will most definitely be back to see Kenny & have the Ipa beer I loved! My husband likes the blonde beer that Kenny recommended. The place was gorgeous. Very clean & spacious. They had live music and looked like it was kid friendly. We only had drinks. But the food on the other tables looked delicious. 10/10

Fitzhugh Brewing stands out from the road with its white stylish farmhouse look. It was truly picturesque, and looked like they reclaimed lumber and windows to build this place giving it great character. The inside was the same where their designer did a great job with the look and layout. There was plenty of seating and could see the beer tanks in the back. Outside had a huge park like setting with more tables and a huge farmhouse style playground of the kids.I first ordered a Brew Deck Blonde Ale and chatted with the guy working here about the place and selection of brews. The beer was good and refreshing. My wife and I also wanted food so we studied the menu and selected the Fried Fish Tacos.I liked the atmosphere where a nice place to get away and take a break. They do serve soft drinks and if you prefer an alternate drink. Our food was brought to us and the fish tacos were quite good. It was designed to pair with your beer. It was a very friendly place in this Hill Country settings. The only things missing was to have chickens roaming around where the outdoor area was already fenced in like you see at the Austin Zoo. ;)

Where to start? I do love this place. I would like to thank them for having a great kids area. The beer is good. The quality of the food is great. I do wish they had more items on the menu. All in all i do enjoy visiting this establishment.

Fun place to bring the family! Offers a playscape, great tasting food and beer, and often times live music.

This brewery was a recommendation from a friend/local and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Blood Orange Saison beer after sampling a couple options as well as the fish and chips. While I'm not a big beer drinker, the beer was unique, flavorful and I enjoyed it! The fried fish was crispy, a bit overcooked and tasty. I thought the beer paired well with the fish and I would order again. The brewery building is absolutely beautiful and offers a large fenced in playscape for children. Service was great and even though I was given a heads up after ordering that my order might take a while because a bachelor party had just placed an order, my food arrived didn't take long at all to be prepared. I look forward to returning!

Fitzhugh Brewing in Dripping Springs, TX is worth the drive from nearby ATX for not only the rolling hill country views, but also because it's a gorgeous spot with unique beer styles that will globalize your palate and has some to die for burnt ends!I wasn't sure what to expect when coming here, but the clean cut country aesthetic lends itself to the hill country vibe, but the beers are worldwide! I absolutely LOVED that they brew all sorts of beers from different countries and culturally inspired styles! They have this awesome world map with all of their past brews and their origins (there's also a QR code you can scan that takes you to their website where it features more in depth info on their past beers).I really enjoyed my flight here and being able to try a couple of styles I have never had before (and with over 5k beers under my belt, that's saying something!), but I gotta say, what really stole the show was their burnt ends!#BOMG were these things so damn delicious! The texture was perfect, the moisture was perfect, the burntness was perfect, the flavor and everything that happened after they went in my mouth was #perfection and they have haunted my dreams ever since.Needless to say, this place is a must-visit for the brews, chews, and views!Beers I had here: Prairie Fire Irish Red 4.8% Dutch Koyt Historical Beer 4.7% Sumerian Ale Honey Beer 4.5% Filipino Ube Pale Ale 5.3%
