San Antonio is developing a reputation for fantastic craft beer. In the past decade many craft breweries have opened and the number of bars that carry craft beer has increased.

If you’re looking to grab a drink soon but don’t want to see anything owned or operated by Annheuser- Busch or MillerCoors, check out these craft beer bars. You won’t be disappointed with their selection of unique, palate widening drinks. Not only that but you’ll be helping out small businesses as barely 10% of the US beer market is comprised of beer made by someone other than Miller, Busch or InBev.

Here are just a few of the top craft beer bars in San Antonio.
