Rebel Toad Brewing Company

A long time ago I remembered brewers from the now defunct "Lorelei Brewing Company", an excellent brewery suggested me to check out the "Rebel Toad Brewing." The thing is that they have interesting hours, which made it hard for me to go visit. And my only way of trying their beers has been exclusively, at the bar inside the Hilton Double Tree Hotel. Enter having Valentine's Day on a Friday, which opened up the possibility to finally visit it. One thing about downtown Corpus Christi is that it is small and therefore absolutely no parking is available. Making going to Rebel Toad a bit precarious. We were able to secure a spot in the front before it opened at 3 pm. Having passed by it before I thought it was much bigger but it is small inside. There are a couple of high tables and chairs, accompanied by counter seating. I believe the owners are a couple and they were very friendly. The taplist is seven-ish beers deep. Some places are weary about giving samples. They offered some with recommendations. But me, I opted for a flight. Their beers are good. I did enjoy their "Liquid Haze IPA" but I think it's laid-back vibe close to the beach is what I ultimately appreciated. In addition a really killer playlist of the 80's was in the background. Any place that plays "Depeche Mode" will get my patronage, all day. The parking situation leaves a little to be desired. And I think not having food or at least nearby options might be an issue for some. But not for me. I probably will come back here again. But I'd like to visit here at night. In my city of San Antonio the craft beer scene is a bit inundated at the moment. In my opinion the Corpus Christi craft beer scene is in its infancy and might remain there for awhile. Rebel Toad Brewing can only help build that community. Now if I can only get rid of my fear of the ocean caused by seeing "Jaws." Then again the city is so laid-back back, I'll probably run into him here. And the 1st round will be on him.

Staff was excellent. Nice. Very patient with me as I continue to learn about craft beer.Dog friendly with A/C options is a plus.No food so have a plan for that.

Great happy hour prices. Good selection of beer. The staff is friendly too!!! Iiiiii

Perfect brewery for a nice chill time and the beer is delicious. Trevor was a great bartender and it was fun hearing about his baseball experiences. Ask him.

Maybe we went on a bad day.Probably our our least fave of all the breweries we visited in Corpitos. Beers had a weird, soapy after taste and didn't really enjoy them. Good thing we got flights and didn't commit to full pours.

They are good if one likes IPAs, otherwise their beer is mostly too hoppy for the title. Good location but no food.

Great beer and thanks to the amazing staff the atmosphere is very inviting. Would totally recommend this to anyone.

Great beer and great atmosphere. They have a decent beer selection, I tried their IPA which was pretty tasty. Came on a Saturday night before a dinner reservation nearby and had a great time.They have board & card games so if you're with a partner you can entertain yourself. Also had 2 TV's showing football. The art on the wall gives the place character and the music is what sets it apart.Overall, a great atmosphere. Will be checking out when in Corpus again.

They are not closed at midnight like they say they are there close to 11. I came here specifically to try them out and they said they were closed.

The bartender was very friendly and the beer was great. As a craft beer enjoyer I recommend coming here and trying out what they have. From a pickle beer to a triple Belgian it's all good.
