Pumped to go to Austin for the game! Here's some of the breweries I have on my list to check out!

North-Central Austin:
Adelbert's Brewery (belgian style beers)
Austin Beerworks (great tap room with tons of beer)
4th Tap Brewing (small selection, okay tap room)
Celis Brewery (belgian style beers)
Circle Brewing (small tap room, good hefeweizen)
Oskar Blues Brewery (huge tap room with stage and food trucks)
Brewtorium (large beer hall that’s also serves food)


East Austin:
Zilker Brewing and Taproom
Lazarus Brewing (beer and coffee shop)
Hops and Grain (popular brewery, good IPA)
Blue Owl Brewing (specialize in Sour Beer)
Live Oak Brewing (fantastic European beers)
Southern Heights Brewing (newer but cool taproom)

South Austin:
(512) Brewing Company
St. Elmo Brewing
The ABGB (Austin Beer Garden, great pizza on site)
Independence Brewing (love some of these beers)
Pinthouse Pizza (also location in central Austin and round rock - get the electric jellyfish IPA or the bearded seal stout)

West Austin:
Strange Land Brewery
Infamous Brewing (try the "Sweep the Leg" peanut-butter stout)
Oasis Texas Brewing (located at The Oasis, great views)
Jester King Brewery (famous sour beer brewery)
Family Business Beer Company (Jep from Duck Dynasty has a food truck here - update: he may have moved his food truck)
Last Stand Brewing
Argus Cidery (Right next to last stand and Jester King)
Suds Monkey Brewing
Twisted X Brewing Company
Real Ale Brewing (okay this one is about an hour west* of town but they have my all time favorite beer - Devil’s Backbone Triple 8% ABV).

Most of these will require a car or Uber.

Pretty good summary, well done. Just a couple of notes. Real Ale is in Blanco, which is west, not south. And Jep no longer has the food truck at Family Business.

Bone Spirits in Smithville is pretty cool as well. Moody June gin and Smith’s Vodka and a cool tasting room with a quick education in creating different liquors.

If you are in the Rainey Street area and don't want to drive out to the breweries, Craft Pride has a good selection of Texas craft beers on draft. I'm guessing probably 40 taps or so.... It's a pretty good little spot to hit.. Craft Pride



ETA: 54 beers on draft

Yeah for sure! I probably should have just posted it there in the first place.

It is so good! But you can also find it all around town if you don’t feel like driving out to near the airport.

They have a neat disc golf course at the brewery.

Yeah Revolution Spirits is pretty good. It’s located next door to Last Stand Brewing and Argus Cidery. I usually hit up all three while out there.

Also very close to Jester King

It's a really good Hefe. I'm a big fan of their Pils.
