The Dodging Duck Brewhaus, established in 2002, is a charming brewpub nestled along Cibolo Creek in historic downtown Boerne, Texas. Named after the ducks that famously dodge traffic on River Road, this local institution combines small-batch craft brewing with a full-service restaurant, creating a unique Hill Country dining and brewing destination.
The brewpub occupies a beautifully restored historic building, featuring a creek-side deck and beer garden where visitors can enjoy house-brewed beers while watching the namesake ducks paddle by. Their brewing program focuses on crafting a rotating selection of traditional and innovative styles, all produced on their intimate brewing system visible from the dining room. The small batch sizes allow for frequent rotation and experimentation, ensuring there’s always something new to try alongside their proven favorites.
Their full kitchen complements the brewing operation with a diverse menu that spans traditional German fare, paying homage to Boerne’s heritage, to contemporary Texas Hill Country cuisine. The combination of fresh craft beer, quality food, and their picturesque setting has made The Dodging Duck a beloved destination for both locals and visitors exploring the Hill Country. Regular events, including beer dinners and live music on the deck, strengthen their role as a community gathering place. Their commitment to maintaining the character of historic Boerne while creating innovative craft beers has established them as a cornerstone of the local dining and brewing scene.
