UP THE HILLS, DOWN THE BEERS!

For the past 13 years, The Real Ale Ride has been one of the Hill Country's most popular cycling events.

The Real Ale Ride is rolling through the scenic hills of Blanco, TX again on Saturday, October 28, 2023. It’s a ride for all cyclists, with distances of 15, 30, 50, 60, and 75 miles to choose from. Routes are fully supported and they all end at the brewery for a post-ride celebration with beer, food, music, and good times!

The Real Ale Ride may be a family-friendly beer ride, but it is also helps to support local nonprofits. This year, donations will go to our Local Fire & EMS, as well as The Friends of Blanco State Park.

Join us during this glorious time of the year to be in the Texas Hill Country with Sibby Barrett of Onion Creek Kitchens.
