Review of Goliad Brewing Company by TexasRealFood
Goliad Brewing Company takes its name after the small town of Goliad. The town’s battle cry “Remember Goliad” reflects its importance in Texas history. The brewery, established in 2014, similarly calls on its guests to remember the town’s storied past. It is located on a 50-acre property and takes “going local” seriously. The brewery draws 60% of its water from a well located inside the property.
Owner John Wilkerson, head brewer Stefan Zurakowski, and sales and marketing head Mark Nichols honors the importance of going local in other ways as well. They named one of their brews, a Mexican style lager, after Cinco de Mayo hero General Ignacio Zaragoza, who was born in Goliad. They also invite visitors to enjoy the park-like atmosphere of the brewery from Mondays to Saturdays. The brewery and beer garden, though, only serves their beers on Fridays and Saturdays.
