I'm visting from Ohio and I wanted to bring some of the local brews (Austin beerworks, Hop and Grains) back home with me. I tried to search on beermenus but no dice. Where can I find them? Thanks in advance.
Yup, E1G, Central Market, Whole Foods, and most HEBs (Mueller and Hancock are particularly good) should have the local stuff. Which Craft should be good too, but I haven't made it there yet. Some of the brewpubs also sell their beer to go. I know NXNW bottles some of their stuff and also does growlers. Black Star does growlers, but I'm not sure about bottles. Other growler fill places include Draught House, Central Market, Whole Foods (Domain has a bunch of taps), HEB Mueller, and the two Growler Room locations.
Which brews do you guys think are most worth while checking out? Abw, hop and grains, jk were ones I was thinking about.
Live Oak and 512, but they're draft only. Independence is also pretty good. Whip In is another brewpub that I forgot to mention.
Drink as much Live Oak Hefe as you can while you're here. The rest you can take back! All of the mentioned places are great, and make sure to stop at Jester King and Hops & Grain if you can.
If you want to try a bunch of them, go to which craft. They have the largest single wall around and if there is any beer in a 4/6 pack that you want, they'll likely break it up and sell you a single. It is a good way to try a bunch.
