Owner Heather Hamrick has built a space for community gathering and drink experimentation since opening the Bastrop Beer Company in March 2018. The background The bar oers 28 beers on tap and nearly 160 individual beers. Hamrick said a customer favorite is the Electric Jellysh, a hazy IPA from Pint House Pizza located in Austin. “What Bastrop Beer Company does is give people a space to experiment with dierent drinks that they may not have had before,” Hamrick said. Patrons can look forward to bingo and trivia, and enjoy the pinball machines, pool tables, televi- sion and lounge seating.
The impact Located in the business hub of the city, Hamrick said the community has accepted the bar with open arms. “We’ve been called the ‘Cheers’ of Bastrop because we have so many locals that love coming in here and chatting with our sta, trying new beers that you may not be able to get somewhere else,” Hamrick said. Looking forward Hamrick said she has dreams of expanding the business with an additional location so commu- nity members can enjoy its oerings without having to drive into the main portion of town.
