It’s easy to get into the Germanic spirit in New Braunfels. Events, beer, and music are all strong reminders of the heritage of this town’s founders. One place to obtain a true experience is Krause’s Biergarten & Café, located at 148 S. Castell Ave. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week, both German specialties and traditional American options are available. As well as beer! With roughly 80 beers on tap and more in bottles and cans, it’s difficult to not find something delicious to your palate. Try the Kartoffel Poppers or the Munich Platter with a Weihenstephaner Hefe-Dunkel to really get in the spirit. Wine, ciders, a full bar, and margaritas are also options.

Formally a staple of New Braunfels beginning in 1959 under Kermit Krause, this spot is revitalized with its roots still firmly in place. Heritage is everywhere here; reclaimed wood from the area and regional flags create a thematic space alongside a covered pavilion with soaring ceilings and long tables with benches, to rouse a true biergarten feel. Bring a large group or share a table; you never know who may be seated next to you. A good time is sure to be had!

Enjoy live music and events such as farmer’s markets, tastings, and holiday themes. Or try your hand (and arm!) at Masskrugstemmen, a beer stein holding contest. This place always has something going on which makes it easy to become part of the community. Come to Krause’s and get a real sense of the old-fashioned New Braunfels. Open hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Take a break from the incorrigible summer sun and let the helpful staff help you enjoy the day and night!
