Real Ale Brewing Company (Blanco, TX)

It's nice to bring back a dead thread.

I'd rank their beers like this:
Full Moon
Roggen (Bottle this please)
Porter ( Haven't seen it in a while)
Firemans (Could drink it all day long)
I haven't had a chance to try the others.

They brew “Drafthouse ESB” for a local movie theater in Austin…Alamo Drafthouse. At the Lake Creek location they had it cask conditioned the last time I was there…AMAZING. The regular tap version is easly a match for Fullers bottled and damned close to Fullers draft. They don’t bottle it yet so if you get to Austin and want a beer with your movie then look that one up.

The coffee porter is pretty good. I found their oktoberfest very strange.

I had their coffee porter right before christmas and it reminded me of iced coffee but where all the ice had melted. Very watery and bland.

I love Real Ale beers. I drove out to blanco and had a taste and tour last summer when I was in Austin. Friday is their off day for jsut tours and stuff. there were dudes walking around working on stuff like bottle washers etc. and drinking beer. What a job!

The cask conditioned ESB is probably one of the best beers I have ever had in my life. I friended them on the FaceBook and sometimes they will post that they are driving a cask of something somewhere for everyone to try.

I know their Flagship beer is Fireman 4, but the Rye pale ale is my fave.

Devils Backbone is climbing the charts for me, as is their Pilsner and Octoberfest.
Ironically, those, the two lagers, are some of my favorites.
Now I'd rank them:

Pilsner
Devils B ackbone
pale Rye
Porter
Firemans

the others.
