Open since 2017 and located “in the middle of nowhere”, Wild Bunch Brewery announces its presence once you see its handwritten sign. Brew master Jarle Lillemoen owns and operates Wild Bunch Brewing Company. He and Managing Member Jamie Caras both hold doctoral degrees in biochemistry, which should come in handy at the brewery. Calling his beer the “best damn beer in Texas”, Jarle only uses “high quality ingredients” in his “100% unfiltered beers”. He also uses the traditional method of brewing using an open propane flame throughout the process. He is also non-traditional in the age of state-of-the-art brewing equipment. Yet, his method yields “richer, more intense flavors and colors”. A blogger writes that Wild Bunch as of October 2019 offers seven beers served in jam jars at their taproom. Not bad for a brewery that’s designed and hand-built by Jarle himself. Finally, prior to establishing Wild Bunch, Jarle was the master distiller at Bone Spirits Distillery in Smithville.

Specializing in craft brewed beer and brick oven pizza, Seguin Brewing Company started production in 2014 as home brewers in a workshop, hand bottling their products with just the two founders. They have moved to downtown Seguin and built a taproom brewpub and a pizzeria with a team of 18 people. From the nice thin crust, perfectly seasoned sauce and awesome selection of toppings, they truly have the best pizza in town! Plus, the selection of craft beers are also excellent! Seguin Brewing uses a “combination of old and new brewing techniques” to bring you delicious hand crafted beer. Driven by their passion and taste buds, the owners refuse to settle for a poor product. They hope that you'll enjoy their beer as much as they enjoy brewing it for you.
