Join us for Beer poking with the brewer, also known as Bierstacheln in German- a winter tradition that involves heating a metal rod in a fire and then plunging it into a glass of beer. This causes sugars in the beer to caramelize and the foam to become extra frothy. Buy a beer at the bar (the porter works great), then bring it out back to be “poked” at the fire! Free entry.

Join us on the Great Lawn at Grand Central at Milam for a Star Party on Friday, January 30th at 7PM.

As the sun sets and the Hill Country sky opens up, we’ll gather under the stars for an evening of wonder, community, and celestial discovery. Bring your blankets, grab a drink or bite from one of our onsite businesses, and settle in for a relaxed night of stargazing.

Whether you’re a seasoned sky‑watcher or just love a beautiful Texas night, this is the perfect way to unwind and connect with the cosmos.

Come early, get cozy, and look up — the universe is putting on a show
