Brazos Valley Brewing Company
Accessible Pet Friendly Family Friendly Parking Available Wifi Available
We like to drink good beer! We have an assumption that most people share this thought with us. We’re just a group of family and friends who love good beer, good music, and the people that they bring together. Following this simple passion, we’ve created a family business — an independent craft brewery and taproom located a block from historic Downtown Brenham. We brew what we love, name it after the songs that we love, and we’re confident that you’ll love it, too. But if beer isn’t your thing, we have wine, cider, seltzers, and non-alcoholic options too, and the kiddos are welcome to run and play at “BVB Park.” Also, call us to book your next event: casual rehersal dinners, parties, reunions, corporate events or meetings for up to 100 people. Welcome to the family, ya’ll!
