Texas’ Czech and German heritage inspired Pivovar to introduce traditional beer styles brewed according to recipes that have been in use for centuries. Our philosophy is going back to the roots of Czech lagers, having a singular focus and trying to perfect a small portfolio of beers by using only noble hops and malt directly imported from the Czech Republic. The final product is fresh, well-aged, unpasteurized, and unfiltered beer made with passion, care and invested time that industrial breweries simply cannot compare with.

Southern Roots Brewery just happens to be lucky enough to be founded in Texas, where we embrace southern hospitality, family, camaraderie, and great craft beer over all else. While officially Founded in Waco, in 2018, the story of our beers began before that. We began home brewing as a hobby, toying with one of our first recipes, the HOT Blonde. After a few tries, we noticed the neighbors were finding more excuses to swing by and grab a glass of our beer. Then, we brewed beer exclusively for a family members wedding. As we hauled empty kegs home, we figured we had a pretty good recipe. Then we did another family members wedding, and as we hauled more empty beer vessels home, we wondered if we weren't on to something special. After many more brew sessions, and realizing we would soon run out of family weddings to showcase our beers, we decided to go all the way. We began creating, crafting, brewing and sampling the results until we had our debut line-up in place. And finally, in the Fall of 2018, Southern Roots Brewery bloomed into life.
