Ranch Hand Reserve Saison Release
Mar

Ranch Hand Reserve Saison Release

Hard work deserves a good beer, and we’ve brewed one worthy of the name.
Introducing Ranch Hand Reserve Saison.
This is a crisp, crushable farmhouse-style ale inspired by the grit, sweat, and reward of a long day’s work. Ranch hands are the backbone of the West, putting in the hours to keep things running and this brew is our tribute to them. With bright citrus notes, subtle spice, and a dry, refreshing finish, it’s a beer that’s both satisfying and easy to throw back.

So why “Reserve”? Because this one’s special. We took our time crafting the perfect balance of flavor and drinkability. This something worth savoring after a hard day or celebrating with friends.

Releasing March 1st in the Tall City Brewing Taproom!� Also pouring in Austin at the Holdout Brewing Pinvitational – don’t miss it!

Tall City Brewing Co. Celebrates National Stout Month with the Final CRUDE Series Release: Gloreita

February marks National Stout Month, and Tall City Brewing Co. is proud to announce the highly anticipated release of Gloreita, the last installment of their beloved CRUDE Series. This special collaboration brew will debut on Saturday, February 22nd, with a full day of festivities at the brewery.

The CRUDE Series has been a staple of Tall City Brewing’s annual Stout Month celebrations for the past three years. The series not only honors the hard work and heritage of the Permian Basin but also showcases one of the most intricate and labor-intensive beer styles—stouts.

Gloreita is a Biscoff & coffee stout crafted in collaboration with 12 Gate Coffee Co., a local Midland favorite. This rich and flavorful beer combines the roasted complexity of freshly roasted coffee beans from 12 Gate Coffee with the warm, spiced sweetness of Biscoff cookies. The result is a decadent stout that reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of two passionate Midland businesses.

The day will feature:

Live Music: Donnie Diaz from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Food Trucks: Greggors Pizza serving up delicious eats to pair with your brews.

Twelve Gate Coffee On-Site: The team from Twelve Gate Coffee Co. will be at the brewery selling fresh coffee, including the same beans used in Gloreita starting at 3pm
