Dripping Springs

Consider this to be a timeless myth. There once was a town in Texas, specifically the unincorporated community of Dripping Springs. With its limestone cliffs and rolling hills, this small town over time gained a growing number of local visitors. In fact, Dripping Springs eventually began compiling lists of the top small towns in Texas, which confused some Texans who lived outside of the state. However, it was simple to understand how this small town rose to become one of the coolest in Texas for those who had traveled to Dripping Springs and had actually spent time at the Hamilton Pool Preserve or the numerous brewpubs and distilleries.

Hamilton Pool is Dripping Springs' most well-known landmark, but the tiny community of fewer than 10,000 residents also have a lesser-known attraction. A wide range of options are created by light, darkness, and everything in between. There is something for everyone with more than a dozen beers available on tap. Whether you prefer a traditional IPA or notes of sweet potato and marshmallow, you can be sure to find your preferred brew here. With a delicious meal to go along with it, good alcohol tastes even better. Massive hamburgers and other greasy favorites are excellent at soaking up alcohol.

Dripping Springs is a small town with much more to offer than just tasty craft beer and distilleries. In actuality, this tiny community is the key to one of Texas' most stunning locations. The town's rolling hills are home to the Hamilton Pool Preserve, a real gem. You simply have to see it in person to believe it's real, but this 232-acre park is complete with a waterfall swimming hole built right into the limestone cliffside.
