Brewery Profile

Bluebonnet Beer Co

In Round Rock’s local beer scene, Bluebonnet Beer Co. reads as a family-run production brewery with a public taproom rather than a remote brand visitors only encounter on draft lists. Established in 2013, it is closely associated with David and Clare Hulama, who oversee the business across brewing, sales, distribution, business development, and marketing. The wider Hulama family is involved in day-to-day areas including the taproom, kitchen, and packaging operations, so a visit is grounded in the working parts of the company. For someone walking in, the appeal is not a heavily staged concept but a look at a local brewery whose beer is made, served, packaged, and moved through the Round Rock market by a small, identifiable team.

Travelers drinking around Central Texas often look for taprooms that help them understand the local beer landscape beyond the larger Austin-area names. A stop here fits that kind of itinerary because Bluebonnet’s distribution is primarily tied to Round Rock and nearby establishments, making the taproom a direct way to encounter the brewery at its source. The known background also gives context to the beer: David Hulama holds a Diploma in Brewing from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling in London and completed the Master Brewers Program at UC Davis, while Clare Hulama brings retail and technology sales experience to the business side. Rather than assuming a specific house style or flagship, visitors should treat the bar as the best source for what is currently pouring and how the brewery describes its lineup that day.

For practical planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, any packaged beer availability, and current kitchen details, since specific menus, hours, and beer lists can change and are not fixed by the general profile. Because the company’s reach is concentrated in Round Rock and surrounding accounts, travelers who try Bluebonnet elsewhere in the area may still find the taproom the clearest stop for a broader view of the operation. Anyone building a brewery route through Round Rock should check current taproom information before going, especially if the visit depends on food service, to-go beer, or a particular release. Expect a local, production-centered brewery visit shaped by the Hulama family’s direct involvement rather than a destination defined by unverified claims or borrowed reputation.

The operation of Bluebonnet Beer Co. in Round Rock, Texas, is characterized by its deep involvement of the Hulama family, who collectively manage the taproom, kitchen, and packaging operations. Established in 2013, the brewery is run by the husband and wife team of David and Clare Hulama, who oversee all aspects of brewing, sales, and distribution. David Hulama brings formal brewing credentials to the company, holding a Diploma in Brewing (Dipl.Brew) from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling in London, alongside completion of the Master Brewers Program at UC Davis. Clare Hulama manages the business development and marketing functions, leveraging extensive experience in retail and technology sales. Bluebonnet Beer Co. distributes its products primarily within the Round Rock area and surrounding establishments.
