September 25, 2026 · Luling, TX Luling is about to get its first brewery inside city limits, and San Antonio day-trippers already have the brisket-and-pint route mapped. Wild Bunch Brewing, the fire-brewed Red Rock outfit, opens a second taproom Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 522 E. Pierce St. in a converted former service station. Wild Bunch built its reputation in a converted barn at 1764 Taylorsville Rd. in Red Rock, using direct flame on the mash and boil plus a gravity-fed system for caramelly, complex beers that stay unfiltered and unpasteurized. The Luling room keeps that spirit in a more modern shell: an old service station most recently used as an insurance office. Opening day plans call for six beers on tap and special food from the Wild Bunch crew. Expect familiar names like Red Rock Wild IPA, Waterhole Gold, and Hefeweizen to show up in the rotation even if the exact opening list stays flexible. Home base info: wildbunchbrewery.com. Watch their Facebook for Luling hours as the room settles in. Pierce Street puts you roughly an hour from San Antonio and a short walk from City Market's famous brisket, which is exactly the combo CultureMap flagged for road-trippers. Hit the barbecue line, then walk over for fire-brewed pints at the new taproom. It is also an easy add-on if you are already circling Lockhart or the rest of Central Texas barbecue country. September 26 is opening day for Luling's first in-city brewery. Put Wild Bunch on the map, bring an appetite, and toast a decade of paying dues with a second door.
