SPONSORED BY 28 SONGS BREWHOUSE + KITCHEN

You Know the Beer, But Do You Know the Food?

When people think of 28 Songs Brewhouse + Kitchen, they often think of craft beer and sports, but their food menu deserves just as much attention. 👀🔥

Whether you’re craving smoked brisket-loaded tater tots (Hill Country Totchos 😍), juicy burgers, crispy wings, or monster-sized hot dogs, this spot delivers big flavors to match their big selection of beer.

📍Located at 110 Market Ave, 28 Songs isn’t just a brewery—it’s a full-on foodie destination with a menu packed with comfort food favorites and Texas-sized portions.

And as a veteran-owned and operated business, they take pride in serving great food, great beer, and a great atmosphere for the community.

And, of course, if you want to pair your meal with a cold brew, they’ve got 28 taps, with over 20 house-brewed beers to choose from.

Next time you’re hungry, don’t just think beer—think bold, delicious eats. Stop by and tell them The Boerne Life sent you!
