Cibolo Creek Brewing Company: A Hub of Craft Beer, Community, and Texas Hospitality in Boerne

On Main Street in Boerne, just a short walk from the creek that gives it its name, there’s a place that doesn’t just serve beer—it reinvents it. Cibolo Creek Brewing Company is a Hill Country anchor, a microbrewery that feels like it grew out of the limestone and live oaks around it. The building is historic, renovated with care, and the atmosphere is exactly what you hope for: rustic wood, open-air seating, porch swings, and a bar that feels like it was built to hold stories. You can sit inside at one of the rich wooden tables, perch at the bar, or settle into the beer garden out back, where families gather, dogs nap, and the breeze carries the scent of hops and grilled meat.

Ty Woolsin, the head brewer, takes the craft seriously. He’s not just brewing, he’s farming. Most of the meat on the menu comes from his own Windy Hill Foods. The beers rotate with intention. Hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, crisp lagers, each one tuned to the season, the mood, the moment. The taps change often, and regulars return daily merely to see what’s new.

The food is more than “delicious.” It’s thoughtful. Beautifully arranged. Locally sourced. The Goat Burger is a standout: savory, tender, layered with flavor. Mom’s Chicken Salad Sliders are quietly perfect. And the Bier Buns: a potato roll filled with browned goat, cabbage, and cheese, with the option to add a fried egg—are the kind of dish that makes you pause. I haven’t eaten at CCB in years, but I still think about those three. I’d park myself at the bar, order whatever dark beer they had on tap, and work my way through each one.

CCB is family-friendly, pet-friendly, and community-rooted; there’s a play area for kids, space for dogs, and live music that drifts through the beer garden like a second breeze. The last time I was there, Kevin Galloway of Uncle Lucius was playing—his voice carrying “Keep the Wolves Away” into the evening air. He’s a regular. So are the locals. So are the stories.

The brewery hosts trivia nights, themed parties, special releases, and fundraisers. They’ve collaborated with Electric Coffee to create the Hoppy Coffee Saison. Cibolo Creek Brewing Co. gives back. They show up. They belong.

If you’re passing through Boerne, go to Cibolo Creek Brewing Company. Sit on the porch swing. Order the Goat Burger. Let the beer speak. And know that some places aren’t just places. They’re part of who you are. CCB is one of mine.
