Real Ale Brewery
Blanco, Texas is home to Real Ale Brewing Company, where a dedicated team of brewers produces quality, handcrafted ales. Utilizing a 60-barrel stainless steel brewing system, Real Ale incorporates 100 percent malted grain, domestic and imported hops, and crystal clear water into its unique recipes. Real Ale has been brewing in Blanco since 1996, where it first set up shop in the basement of an antiques store on the Blanco town square. Today, the brewery operates on several acres of land just outside the Blanco City limits. Click here to learn more about the Real Ale Brewing Company.
