Growler Express — Restaurant in Buda

Great new addition to the greater Buda/Kyle metroplex area and just what beer feels here needed. No more running up too ATX, San Marcos, or SA to try great, local, craft beer.

By local, they really mean it. Trying to get brews that are local to the Buda area. And while they may carry a tap or two from breweries in Austin/SA, they really want to spotlight breweries that are not Austin or SA based, really defining "drink local."

We went during their soft opening and they had a steady, if not busy stream of customers, which all managed to get served timely and had their questions answered (some customers were new to the craft beer scene). Really look forward to coming back here and setting their additions (outdoor seating). No food as of yet but you can bring your own or call it in (pro tip: there's a Papa John's next door and a Thai restaurant a block away)

Looking forward to many more pints at this new hang out spot...

This place is racist! They cut me off even though I only one drink because apparently I was "too loud." We were the only table with POC , However, they had several White ppl that were just as loud with zero problems. I literally only had a lager there and was cut off immediately because I'm " too loud." If you R a POC please be careful because you could be discriminated against. Of course there are "White" Hispanic ppl there that of course think they are above racism. So they "act" appropriately" so they don't get kicked out. Which what I was told by some " White" Hispanic ppl . That if I just lowered my voice I would be served. Even though the "White" ppl in the place where being louder 🤷‍♀️. I guess next time I won't wear hoop earrings so I don't get...

I like having this place in my neighborhood, I just think the selection could be a little better but understand the clientele in Buda aren’t exactly all “craft beer” drinkers. If they got rid of some of the more macro leaning stuff and throw on a lot more or all local or Texas stuff with some creativity, I think we would have a sure winner. There are so many great breweries in the state now and I know people would travel for the goods. Some of the stuff is just boring and the tap list doesn’t refresh too often. No food but they do pop ups pretty frequently which is nice. I think you can bring your own food, too. Nice small town local feel and good friendly service the few times I’ve been in. Small inside with spots outside too. About 1/4...
