Yaktoberfest?

A few years ago I happened on a little neighborhood homebrew party/fest over off shoal creek. Anyone know anything about it? I can find past years but nothing about any future events.

Let’s try this again. A survey.

I’m curious, when it comes to Austin breweries what top 5-10 come straight to your mind when you think of local Austin breweries. This will really help me out on a project I’m working on. Thanks to all that help!!

I am assuming HopSquad will have the UT Game on before the ATX game?

I think there was someone on here that works there. Wouldn’t mind hanging there to watch the game before the other football game

Who has the coolest merch?

Visiting Austin for the first time this week and I always try to get my husband a cool t-shirt. Who has, in your opinion, the coolest merch? Thanks!

Breweries that sell kegs out the door

Are there any breweries that sell kegs or fill corny kegs for customers? Or is there a distributor that does dock sale kegs for consumers?

2024 Fresh Hops Megathread

Yes indeed, it is that time of year again. Fresh hops season. Things seem to be off to a slower start this year. Nothing on tap yet that I have seen. I feel with the downfall of Twitter/X that this megathread may be more important than in past years to spread the word. So, please let us know if you have fresh hops set to be released soon or if you see of any in the wild.

Pinthouse Pizza releases FH Training Bines IPA at all locations on 9/27

I know Hold Out, St Elmo, and Meanwhile all have fresh hops beers brewing as we speak. I had Dry The Rain FH Pale Ale from Goodline Beer Co. in Lubbock brought to me last week which used hops from Montrose, Colorado. It is delicious and worth a pint should it pop up around town.

Date: September 14th
Time: 12 PM–7 PM
Location: Spokesman South

day out advice.

Its do nice out I want to take my girlfriend and her little dog out and thought I could use y'alls help. Im looking for the following

  • outdoor seating *its too nice to be inside.
  • food *ideally food truck but open to anything
  • beer *preferably serving a seasonal fall, I'll even do a pumpkin spice.

I'm in the Cedar Park area, and usually do The Good Lot but it has a lot of people and kids but might be where we go because it literally hits all bullet points. even looking at mutts

A place to drink beer and watch football in south Austin

I'll be in the south Austin area for a little while today and have some time on my hands. I want to spend it having a few beers and watching the afternoon NFL games.

One prospect I've found is St. Elmo Brewing but I can't tell if this place is somewhere that I could watch football. I could also go to Twin Peaks, though if there's an opportunity to try local beer that would be my preference.

Any suggestions for a place is appreciated.

Some of the coldest beer taps in Austin are at Frazier’s. Pictured: ABW Pearl Snap

Where else can I find ice cold beer taps?

Who still does Crowlers?

With Cuvee having moved somewhere inconvenient to me, I was wondering who all still does Crowlers around town? They were the perfect tailgate beer.

Bear king in Cottonwood Shores

Bear King opened up a second taproom in Cottonwood Shores near Horseshoe Bay. Same beers on tap as the Marble Falls location and beers to go. $3 pints till the end of the month. Only been open a week or two.

Realize it’s not an Austin brewery but worth a post.
