San Antonio: Ranger Creek Brewstillery Tour & Bourbon Tasting

One Hour, Two Spirits: Beer & Bourbon at Ranger Creek

You get a guided walkthrough of beer and bourbon production at the same facility, three product samples, and a professional guide for roughly sixty minutes in a small group. The VIP add-on lets you taste unreleased whiskeys straight from the barrel if you want to stay longer, and designated drivers attend for five dollars so the whole group can go together.

Step-by-step itinerary

Brewstillery tour and tasting experience

• Arrive at Texas Original Brewstillery
• Join guided tour of beer and whiskey making
• Sample three brewstillery products
• Optional VIP whiskey barrel sampling

The experience

Most breweries stick to one thing. Ranger Creek does both. You walk in expecting a beer tour and leave having learned how they age bourbon in the same building. The whole thing runs about an hour, which sounds short until you're standing in front of a barrel and the guide is pouring something that hasn't hit the market yet. Groups stay under ten people, so you're not shuffling through with thirty others trying to hear over the noise.

The San Antonio brewstillery tour includes three samples of their regular lineup, a professional guide walking you through the process for both beer and whiskey, and all the taxes and fees built in. Nothing surprise at the end. If bourbon is your thing, you can add the VIP Whiskey Sampling Experience for twenty dollars at the door and taste two future releases straight from the barrel after the main tour wraps. Designated drivers pay five dollars and get the full experience minus the samples, which means nobody has to sit it out.

Kids under six come free, and the space is fully wheelchair accessible with all areas on one level. The guide moves at a pace that works for everyone, and you're not expected to be a spirits expert walking in. They explain the whole process from grain to glass. If you're bringing family, children need an adult with them, and anyone doing the tastings has to be twenty-one.
