Local breweries

Neches Brewing Co. - The first craft brewery in the area, Neches Brewing has both their own taps and other local Texas beers on draft. With 14 seasonal craft brews made on-site, try the Walt Wilkins German Pilsner or the Neches Mid Country Marzen to get in the mood. The ambiance is surf shack chic and they often have live music on tap, as well. Facebook Page

Struggle Street Brewing Company - After homebrewing for about 10 years, Scott Reeves decided to try turning his passion into a business with a name indicative of life. With 20 taps, about half are theirs they feature everything from pastry stouts to sours and IPAs with guest taps from breweries around the state to fill the gaps. You can see the current tap list on Untapped; check out their Facebook Page for the latest.
