At present, they are only open on Friday and Saturday from 5 AM to 10 PM. They have a website
here, as well as a presence on
Facebook. There is a menu above the bar, which is located near the actual brewery -- you can peek through the windows to see some of their gear -- and as of this posting, they have six beers on draft: Peacemaker (Pilsener), Buckeye (Blonde), Pritchett Fog (New England-style IPA), Shrapnel (IPA), Big Woods (Stout), and the most recent release, Upshur Amber (lager). They also have canned soft drinks and iced tea, as well as a water dispenser that's useful to those who pace themselves while enjoying their beers. They don't have a big food menu, but they have a couple of pizza options and some finger food. A photo of the menu is in the gallery.
The brewery itself is in a vintage building on Gilmer's courthouse square, with about two thousand square feet, room for about sixty people. There's seating at the bar, tables on both sides, and some booths on one side only. The live entertainment performs up front. They have a "Kids Corner" with all kinds of things to keep the kids busy, and there's also a good selection of games (including video games) up front to entertain everybody. There's lots of space to spread out, and one can even rent the place out for special events.
Thanks to socially-backwards mentalities in the State of Texas, beer can only be consumed on the premises; they cannot do growler fills, and are not yet bottling or canning. However, there may soon be progress in Austin regarding beer-to-go, and the brewery does expect to put something on the shelves at some point. It's early still, and Gilmer is fortunate to have a brewery out here in East Texas where stills in the woods are OK with the local authorities, but not storefronts where one can sit and enjoy a fresh pint. Encourage your local breweries!
