WINNER: Alamo Beer Company

415 Burnet St. • (210) 872-5589

When it comes to craft beer in the city of San Antonio, the good folks at Alamo Beer Co. are waving the banners and leading the metaphorical charge. Since the first batch of their Alamo Golden Ale flowed forth in 2003, Alamo Beer Co. has made it their mission to return San Antonio to its former place as the beer capital of Texas. The brewery, beer garden and beer hall, located underneath the historic Hays Street Bridge, all family- and pet-friendly, are now open to the public and have quickly become a hit with not only their neighbors but with a majority of the beer lovers in town. Now with four beers in their arsenal (adding the Alamo Amber Lager, the Alamo Pilsner and the Alamo German Pale Ale), Alamo Beer has become a can't-miss attraction in the heart of the city.
