I'm traveling through Texas and stopped in Lubbock for the Buddy Holly museum. A half mile away I found this gem. I ordered the Bean Me Up Scotty coffee ale. Very smooth and tasty and the coffee flavor was not overwhelming. I had the crispy chicken sandwich and fries and the crab rangoons. Everything was delicious and served quickly. I asked the barman, Tommy, for some places of interest to visit in the area. He had several great suggestions that have me changing my route. He was super helpful even though he was pretty busy. I would stop back if I'm ever in Lubbock again.

🍻 What a place! Delicious pub food that tastes bold and fresh. The food takes a little while to come out, so enjoy from many of the brews on tap while you wait. You will not be disappointed for coming here.

Just found my new favorite brewery in Lubbock. The customer service was phenomenal! They had live music and the food was delicious 🤤 A big thank you to the bartender and wait staff for their hospitality, y'all are the best 💯 Make sure and try their IPA if you go, it pairs really well with the Nashville hot chicken sandwich.

Excellent craft brewery in downtown Lubbock with great friendly service, very tasty beers and better-than-most food options. Oktoberfestbier was very tasty, even a little zesty, LBK IPA almost too easy drinking, and the Shulz pilsner is fresh, goes with anything. Small menu but so good! Goat cheese croquettes are a must and the chicken drunken noodles were fresh, flavorful, and filling. Great downtown Lubbock option.

How cool is ti to find a brewery in a historic hotel? The Brewery LBK can make that claim, occupying part of the first floor of the Pioneer Hotel. Downtown Lubbock may not be quite as hustling and bustling as it was 70 or 80 years ago, but this is a major tenant that is brewing great beer. As it turned out that Saturday afternoon, I was the only customer in the house, and the young college-age woman tending bar was more than willing to engage me in conversation. As for the Pioneer, it is no mostly condos, but the Pioneer Pocket Hotel also operates there, meaning guests can book a room online and gain digital access. There’s no front desk or check-in. You just do it. Also, the West Table Kitchen and Bar, also on the first floor, is owned by the same company that owns the brewery. It’s on my list for a future visit. I went with a flight as per usual, but in this case, a flight is six. With 10 offerings running the gamut, my choices ran from light and refreshing to hoppy and high alcohol. I started with the 1806 Texas Lite Lager (4.8% ABV; 9.7 IBU), followed by Shulz German Style Pilsner (4.8% ABV; 27 IBU), Broadway & K Kölsch (5.5% ABV; 19 IBU), LBK IPA (7.5% ABV; 61 IBU), Kerb Crawler (10% ABV; 33 IBU), and LBK Imperial IPA (11% ABV; 100 IBU). While these were all excellent in their own ways, the latter two are just a little too much in the ABV column for my liking. You just can’t drink as much. My favorites were the Kölsch and basic IPA, both very approachable products that I found to be delightfully refreshing after I had walked a few miles around Downtown Lubbock working up a thirst. My server, though, insisted I keep trying more, and I happily agreed! I was more than happy to offer some professorial advice as she pondered he life choices ahead after graduation. First, she offered a short glass of Doc Holliday, a fruity sour (5.5% ABV; 10 IBU). It was delicious. Actually, a person could get in trouble with this one on a hot day. And then she offered me both versions of their “Hanging Fruit” collab with a winery out of Shallowater. The red and white versions were equally delicious. And if you think a beer/wine mixer is strange, let me assure you they are amazing. Think wine up front, with a light beer finish. I mixed a mixer with three of each, and on top of that grabbed a 64-ounce growler of the IPA. And yeah, I waited until I got home before getting into these. All told, I rated The Brewery LBK second out of six fine breweries in this city, all of which were good. But you have to have some standouts, right? And this was excellent, not far from first. Highly recommended. And I want to spend the night her sometime, knowing that all I have to do is find the elevator after drinking beer.
