On this site are the ruins of the stone brewery and home built by stonemason
Heinrich L. Carsick, who came to La Grange in the 1840s. It was one of the first
commercial breweries in Texas, with an output of more than 700 barrels in one
year. Guided tours tell the story of this German immigrant and details of his
brewing process. The brewery is part of the adjacent Monument Hill State
Historic Site and may be viewed from an overlook. Tours on 2–3:30 p.m. Sat.–Sun.
