Hello All! I am going to be in Austin for the next few days for the first time. Any particular breweries I should hit? Looking specifically for bottles/cans I am able to bring back home. Cheers! Gerard
Read through this thread: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/visiting-austin-fall-2016.459852/ Several of the better breweries are going to be either draft only or their taprooms will have better options than what you'll find bottled/canned. There are plenty of exceptions though. If you're into Jester King (sours/saisons) or Live Oak (German styles), then those are places you should really go and they do package some things. Pinthouse Pizza makes various styles, but is known best for anything hoppy and is also must visit if you're into hops. (draft only) Beyond that, you'll get a range of opinions. Going to good beer bars will get you exposure to a lot of different local/Texas offerings at once. As for other Texas breweries to look out for that do make it to Austin on tap or package: (in no order and I'll certainly forget somebody) Freetail Ranger Creek Community Collective Brewing Project Lakewood Martin House Saint Arnold Brash Karbach Lone Pint (for Yellow Rose mainly)
