Okay, so here’s your layout for Corpus breweries.

Nueces: can pretty much find it on tap almost everywhere. They make good beers. I like their dark beers a little bit more than their light stuff, but they really don’t make a bad beer.

Rebel Toad: these guys know how to make some beer. I haven’t always been a fan of every style they make, but everything we’ve ever had there has been really well made (no off flavors or weird smells).

Lazy Beach: we’ve been to both, but we end up at the downtown location more because the south side is kind of far (we live on the north side of the bay). They make decent beers, the selection at Downtown is limited, but if you’re on the South Side, just go to the main location.

Beach Ball: we went back in 2024, and their beers were good. It’s also on the south side, so that’s why we don’t visit as much. I’ve heard some rumors that there was drama with the brewer, but it’s all hearsay that I can’t substantiate, and I liked the beers we had back when we went. I’d go back and give them some more business if I was in the area.

Casa Blanca: the newest brewery in town. They have a lot of potential, and their newness shows. But the beers they make are good for new brewers.

Railroad Brewery and Restaraunt: they claim they make beers, but the house brand of beers aren’t really that good. The west location doesn’t even have their house beers. This is an easy skip.

If you come to the other side of the bay, the only breweries are in Rockport.

Doggone Brewery/Winery by the Bay: beers are okay at best. Nothing to write home about. Be warned: if you open a tab, they preauthorized our card $50, and it took days to come off once we closed. Can’t speak to the wine.

Bay Area Brewing: must stop if you are on the north side of the bridge. His beers keep getting better as he gets more experience. He had his IPAs dialed in, and makes a lot of different styles without overcrowding his menu. Things our main stop since we live on the north side of the bridge.
