Karbach Brewing Company is an American craft brewery founded in Houston, Texas in 2011, blending classic German brewing techniques with American styles, with an alcohol-free beer among its lineup.

Chuck Robertson, Ken Goodman, and brewmaster Eric Warner opened the brewery on Karbach Street in Houston's Spring Branch neighbourhood. The street coincidentally shares its name with a village in Bavaria, Germany. Karbach's approach to brewing pairs German techniques with American craft sensibility. In 2013, it was cited in the New Yorker as the second fastest-growing craft brewery in the United States. Anheuser-Busch InBev acquired the company in November 2016.

The brewery operates from 2032 Karbach Street, where a $15 million expansion completed in 2015 enlarged the brewhouse and added an on-site restaurant. The 120-barrel German-designed brewhouse uses Ziemann-supplied fermentation tanks. By 2019, Karbach had reduced its water usage from 7.1 to 4 barrels of water per barrel of beer.

The alcohol-free beer in its range has picked up awards. As of 2023, Karbach's beers are distributed across five states: Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
