So I have a work trip for a few days in Austin. I really don't have ANY downtime on this trip. If I did I would hit a bottle shop and Jester King. Where should I go on the flight out to get a pint or two on the way out at the Austin Airport? Any post security bottles to go sold at the airport?
Live Oak Brewery is right across from the airport behind an airport parking lot. Great spot before heading to the airport. No bottle sales past security. Improving local craft beer availability though. You will be able to find some local beer on tap and in cans to drink in the airport.
Live Oak's hefe is exceptional. Their PA and IPA are also definitely worth a pint, probably even at airport prices
If you want a bottle shop and taproom before going to the airport, WhichCraft in Mueller is not a bad place on the way to the airport. But, the real only answer is Live Oak.
