Twisted X Brewing Company, established in 2009 in the Texas Hill Country, pioneered the craft Mexican-style beer movement in Texas. Founded with a vision to create unique Tex-Mex style craft beers, Twisted X made its mark by combining traditional Mexican brewing techniques with Texas craft beer innovation. Originally starting in Cedar Park, the brewery found its home in Dripping Springs, where they built a production facility that reflected their southwestern brewing philosophy.
The brewery gained recognition for their signature Tex-Mex Beer lineup, including their flagship Twisted X Premium Lager and Fuego Jalapeño Pilsner. Their brewing approach focused on creating clean, crisp lagers with subtle flavor variations that complemented Texas and Mexican cuisine. The brewing team specialized in incorporating unique ingredients and flavors common in Southwestern cuisine, creating beers that resonated with the Texas craft beer market.
Their facility in Dripping Springs featured a taproom and outdoor beer garden where visitors could sample their core lineup alongside seasonal and experimental brews. The brewery’s commitment to quality and innovation in the craft lager category helped establish them as a significant player in the Texas craft beer scene. Their unique approach to brewing and dedication to creating beers specifically designed for the Texas climate and palate earned them a dedicated following and multiple awards before their eventual transformation into a new brewery venture.
