Good beer available in Austin, not available in Cincinnati

For bottle shops - Specs on Brodie, Sunrise Mini Mart, Whip In.

For bars with good local options - Draught House, Flying Saucer, Whip In, Black Star, Easy Tiger, Brew Exchange.

For brewery tours on Saturday - Jester King (1-4), Thirsty Planet (tours at 11 and 1:30), Hops and Grain (12-4), (I would suggest Live Oak, but the tour is already sold out for this weekend)

What else?

 

Whole Foods has a decent selection, close to downtown. If you're downtown, check out Frank and Lovejoy's. My two fave places in Austin.

 

This will tell you what you need to know. It's a US distribution by brewery and state. I use it every time I travel.

http://www.seekabrew.com/ uses that spreadsheet and puts it in a much easier to use format. Just put in 2 states and it shows the distribution differences.
