Background
Fernie Muniz, who has been brewing beer since the 1990s opened Blazing Tree Brewery in 2017. The brewery is located in the back of a business park just off the I-10 on the east side of El Paso. It is a small tasting room with about 5 tables inside, a bar on the outside wall and a short bar in front of the handles.
The name the Blazing Tree Brewery came from an old story the owner told of a family member who threw a flaming bottle at a tree causing it to burst into flames.
Experience
We arrived at Blazing Tree Brewery on a Friday afternoon. We took a stool at the bar and was greeted by a friendly beer tender. There were an impressive 20 beers on tap that afternoon. We started with a flight of Butt-Naked, a Pale, Medussa Hazy, a NEIPA, Strawberry Kolsch and WarBoots Golden Ale. Also tried Dogstar NEIPA, our favorite, Mandarin IPA, and TikiMan Black IPA. We found the beers above average on the whole. Well worth a visit when in El Paso.
Walking back towards to restrooms you can see the brewing equipment.
There is no food available and no nearby lodging noted.
