Welcome to Off Main Brewing, where happy lasts more than an hour! We are excited to welcome you to our boutique brewery tasting room in Historic Downtown Kerrville, right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Whether you are a first-time visitor, a regular or somewhere in between, we strive to deliver a memorable experience every time you come to see us! With that said, we wanted to offer a few tips and tricks to make sure you know exactly what to expect when visiting the Off Main Brewing tasting room.
First of all, what is Off Main Brewing anyway? We are an independent craft brewery rooted in the Texas Hill Country. We provide thirsty Hill Country locals and visitors with unique and memorable experiences to learn about and enjoy craft beer and wine while supporting the local community. Overheard during construction, some passersby have called the tasting room a “beer hangout.” And that’s pretty spot on.
LOCATION & DOWNTOWN KERRVILLE PARKING
Our tasting room, located at 703 Water Street in Historic Downtown Kerrville, features 10 rotating self-brewed beers on tap, as well as an extensive selection of local and international wines and bubbles. Our thoughtfully curated charcuterie boards and pair-worthy nibbles are a must-try.
Parking at the Off Main Brewing taproom is simple. Free parking is available down Water St., Earl Garrett and across Water St. in the surface lot. There is also free parking available in the parking garage that is catty-corner to their location.
Fun Fact: Downtown Kerrville is open container! That means from Sidney Baker to Earl Garrett on Water Street and from Water Street to Main Street on Earl Garrett you can walk around with your favorite beverage in a non-breakable container!
WELCOME, PLEASE SEAT YOURSELF
Once you’ve made your way to the tasting room, you’ll be greeted with twinkling lights and inviting sounds. Here you’re welcome to seat yourself at any table or seat that tickles your fancy and one of our tasting room associates will be right with you to take your order and answer any beer or wine questions you might have. Feel free to ask the team about any specials or new beers on tap. The Off Main Brewing staff is highly knowledgeable about beer, wine and champagne, so feel free to ask for recommendations.
Depending on your party’s size and what you’re wanting to experience during your visit, there is a seat option for everyone. Seating at Off Main Brewing looks like the following:
Lounge area: Hangout with friends and enjoy the evening/music/drinks/food in a relaxing, living room-esque lounge

FANCY A GLASS?
Once you’ve found a place to sit, one of our tasting room associates will be with you to take your order. At Off Main Brewing, we offer beer, wine, bubbles and light bites.
Our head brewer Travis creates the list of 10 beers based on seasonality, brewing traditional styles with modern ingredients. We offer a 1 oz complimentary taster for each guest, but the best way to try multiple beers is to order a flight, which comes with 4 4-ounce pours that are customizable.
From lagers and ales to IPAs and stouts, our beer menu has a few mainstays that are always on tap and some that rotate on and off the board, such as experimental brews, seasonals, and collaborations. Check out our “what’s currently on tap” page to get the descriptions of the beers that will be available during your visit. Make sure to try new beers as they come on the board because they may not be available when you come back!
The wine program at Off Main Brewing is a true global celebration, featuring an extensive selection of wines sourced from Texas and around the world, as well as a variety of carefully curated champagnes to suit any taste. Whether you are looking for a local favorite or a classic vintage, there's something for everyone to enjoy. And if you can’t commit to just one, give one of our wine flights a try! Our Texas vs The World flight is always a great choice. Embark on a tasting journey at Off Main Brewing with a wine flight that compares locally grown Texas wines with international wines, all designed to highlight the unique characteristics of Texas grapes and how they differ from traditional winegrowing and making methods used around the world. Trying a wine flight that compares Texas and international wines at Off Main Brewing is an excellent way to expand your palate and knowledge of different winemaking styles and terroirs. You'll have the opportunity to discover unique flavors and characteristics of Texas wine as well as their international counterparts, and appreciate the nuances and differences that make each region's wines special. If you're looking for a vacation in a glass, our sparkling wine list is truly world-class, featuring Cavas from Spain, Prosecco from Italy, and Champagne from France. Try a flight and take the full tour! BITES THAT DELIGHT One of the most unique aspects of Off Main Brewing’s menu are the light bites. Comprised of charcuterie boards, wraps, and other nibbles, each item is designed to pair with the beers and wines on menu. Look for pairing suggestions on the menu or feel free to ask for pairing suggestions from our awesome staff.
