With seven craft breweries within city limits, Lubbock’s beer scene is on the rise.

This local brewery started as a hobby but has become so much more. Today, its brews are a staple in the Cultural District! An art in and of itself, no matter what you order, you can’t go wrong. We recommend you try the Buddy Hoppy IPA, Two Docs Bock, and Chilton Gose.
