"It's worth the half-hour schlep from downtown to visit this charming brewery on the outskirts of Austin, where the 50-plus house beers have cheeky names and serious beer-world cred. The uber-knowledgeable staff will give you a solid introduction to craft brewing, then you can chill with a pint (and maybe some brisket-topped pizza) while you watch the sun dip below the horizon." - Jenna Scatena
