Our Story

Thirty years of showing up , one batch at a time.

When St. Arnold opened its doors in 1996, craft beer in Texas wasn't exactly mainstream. There were no beer blogs, no Instagram-worthy tap lists, no food truck rallies. Just a handful of people who believed that Texas deserved a brewery that took its craft seriously.

We've been that brewery ever since. From our original 7-barrel system to our current facility on Menchaca Road, we've stayed committed to the same principle: brew beer that tastes like we actually care about it. That philosophy hasn't changed, even as the rest of Austin has.

Today, St. Arnold is Austin's oldest craft brewery — and we're proud of that. Not because of the title, but because it means we've spent three decades earning the trust of this community, one pint at a time.

What We Brew

Beers you'll actually come back for.

From sessionable lagers to bold stouts, every beer on tap tells a story about the ingredients, the process, and the people behind it.

Flagship

Texas Pils

Our original lager since day one. Crisp, clean, and dangerously drinkable — the Texas pilsner that started it all.

4.6% ABV · 45 IBU
Year-Round

Texas Wheat

Smooth, refreshing, and perfectly hopped. Our wheat beer is the kind of brew you reach for when you just want a great beer.

4.5% ABV · 18 IBU
Seasonal

Lone Star Brown

Rich, malty, and deeply satisfying. Our brown ale is a tribute to Texas tradition — bold flavor without the pretension.

5.5% ABV · 30 IBU
Rotating

Experimental Series

Our brewing lab in beer form. Small-batch experiments that push boundaries — from hazy IPAs to barrel-aged stouts.

Varies · Varies
Limited

Barrel-Aged Selection

Slow-aged in whiskey and wine barrels. Complex, contemplative, and worth the wait — our most ambitious brews.

Varies · Varies
Cider

Texas Cider

Dry, crisp, and made with real Texas apples. Our hard cider is the perfect pivot when you want something lighter.

5.0% ABV · Dry

Tap lists change with the seasons. Check what's pouring now.
