President and CEO Lee Hereford founded Pedernales Brewing Company in July of 2009, and began distribution in April

2012. Located in Fredericksburg, TX, the microbrewery features Classic and German style beers with skillfully crafted lagers and ales. For years Hereford had the desire to start a craft brewery in the Texas Hill Country, but lacked the funds to do so. After two years he raised the capital to make his dream come true and launched Pedernales Brewing Company. The company is named after the river that is south of the brewery. Head Brew master Peter McFarlane was a graduate of Siebel Institute with a masters degree in Fermentation Science, and has worked at major breweries along with operating his own microbrewery. Today, Pedernales Brewing Company produces 400 barrels a day, about 20,000 cases a month, in its 8,500-square-foot Fredericksburg plant, where Hereford employs about 10 full-time workers. The brand has more than 100 customers, ranging from big grocers to small restaurants between the Austin and San Antonio areas.
