Faust Brewing Company, located in the historic Faust Hotel in downtown New Braunfels, represents a unique blend of Texas brewing history and modern craft beer innovation. Originally established in 1998, the brewery carries forward the legacy of the original Faust family, who were prominent figures in New Braunfels’ early brewing scene during the late 1800s. The historic hotel, built in 1929 during the height of the roaring twenties, provides a distinctive backdrop for this craft brewing operation.
The brewery operates from the basement of the Faust Hotel, where they craft a rotating selection of beers that combine traditional brewing methods with contemporary creativity. Their brewing program includes both time-honored styles and innovative craft creations, all produced on their intimate brewing system. The historic setting, complete with original architectural details and period ambiance, creates a unique atmosphere for enjoying their fresh craft beers.
Their brewpub, located in the hotel, serves a full menu alongside their house-brewed beers, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists exploring New Braunfels’ historic downtown. Regular live music events and beer dinners enhance the experience, while the hotel’s haunted history adds an intriguing element to brewery tours. The combination of craft beer, historic ambiance, and their connection to New Braunfels’ German brewing heritage has established Faust as a must-visit destination in the Texas craft beer landscape.
