Celebratory Vibes in Fredericksburg!

Fredericksburg is buzzing with excitement as Altstadt Brewery proudly takes home three shiny medals from the recent 2025 Texas Craft Brewers Cup competition! This lively event took place earlier this month, making waves not just in Fredericksburg but across the Texas brewing scene. Enthusiasts and locals alike are raising their glasses, thrilled with the recognition of their beloved brewery.

Cheers to the Winners!

Altstadt Brewery stood out among a myriad of contenders, showcasing its commitment to excellence in craft brewing. With a deep-rooted connection to German brewing traditions, Altstadt is known for adhering to the ancient German Purity Law of 1516. This dedication to quality shines through in every sip, and now it’s celebrated more than ever!

Located in Fredericksburg, the brewery is not just a place to grab a cold one; it offers an entire experience. Patrons can indulge in extensive tours, enjoy live music, savor food tastings, and even book events ranging from weddings to corporate meetings. With five bars, including a cozy basement speakeasy, and a full-service restaurant, the brewery creates a delightful atmosphere for all.

Stormy Seas for Alamo Beer Co.

Alamo Beer Co., has hit a rough patch, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This unique form of bankruptcy allows them to continue operations while they sort out their financial challenges and work their way toward paying off creditors. The company has around 20 unsecured claims listed, with amounts ranging from just under $5,000 to over $43,000.

Amidst speculation about a potential sale of part or all of their property, Alamo Beer’s future remains uncertain though, they have recently teamed up with Viva Beer for some collaborative brews. Local beer lovers will surely be keeping an eye on this situation as it develops.

A Taste of Cajun Delights Returns

Acadiana Café has reopened its doors after a temporary closure. Known for its casual Cajun fare, this beloved eatery has relocated to a food trailer at the La Coste City Hotel due to the former property’s sale. The new digs are located at 11280 Castro Ave., just about 25 miles from downtown San Antonio.

The culinary mastermind behind the new Acadiana Café setup is Chef Bill Keish, who was trained by the original owner, Dave Saylor, ensuring that signature tastes remain true to their roots while catering to the existing fan base.
