Originally established by two husband-and-wife teams in 2011, Double Horn Brewing Company has been under new ownership since Fall 2016. The brewery continues to take pride in “providing some of the best beer in Central Texas”. The brewery takes its name from a tiny Texas town founded in 1885. It refers to an incident at the nearby creek where the “remains of two bucks with interlocked antlers” were found. Presumably, the deers tussled and died with antlers entangled. The brewery hopes “to capture, preserve, and celebrate the pioneering spirit and inventiveness” of the early Texas communities. At the time of its opening, the Double Horn was the only brewery in Burnet County. It still is. Despite the change in ownership, they continue to serve both lunch and dinner. Josh Alexander, the new owner, expanded the menu and included takeaway and catering options. Besides their in-house brews, they also have guest beers on rotation.

Bear King Brewing Company owes its name to the legend of the bear king of Marble Falls. Guidry brothers JD, Grant, and Blake, together with Jackie Blakely, their sister, joined forces and took on different roles in putting up the company. Each sibling undertakes a different side of the business with JD, a professional brewer, as head brewer. The brewery and taproom offers the community of Marble Falls a place to gather because they believe that “stories… whether tall tales or plain truth, are (best) shared over a beer”. They currently have six beers on tap, with plans to can their brews. The taproom and restaurant is 5,500 square feet of indoor seating for 200 guests. There’s outside seating at the “Beargarten”, with patio games and live music for the family-friendly space. Just like the local legend that inspired its name, they hope that their guests can create legends of their own.
