Round Top Brewing

Hello, there! Meet Brooke and Paul. Food, beer, and hospitality are deeply rooted in these families. Paul’s distant relatives run a pub in Scotland and another in Virginia. Paul’s great grandfather owned a saloon along a railway in Missouri and it is the origin of our beloved original wooden bar back. It was rescued from a barn after a wicked tornado destroyed the rest of the family’s property.

While Paul grew up working and cooking alongside his mother, a well respected caterer for decades, he delighted in creating delicious dishes and serving people. This early experience shaped his career and led him to work in the restaurant industry from age 15, later helping open multiple restaurant concepts, designing large scale commercial kitchens, and creating new events and systems for wildly popular Austin institutions. His passion for beer and homebrewing developed while at the Alamo Drafthouse, where his decade of enthusiasm and tireless spirit led to an overhaul of the beer education and offerings there. Working with incredible brewers and industry professionals, he helped create popular events during the Craft Brewers Conference, beer pairing dinners, and exclusive in-house offerings with popular local breweries. Paul has enjoyed opportunities in his earlier brewing experience to work alongside and learn from the region’s most awarded and respected brewers and breweries in Texas.
