"This gem of a microbrewery sits just beyond Austin’s city limits, on the Colorado River. There are no tours, making it a more informal setting frequented by families and young folks, who come to while away an afternoon on the lawn or in the sprawling, partly-shaded biergarten. Take advantage of the approachable vibe and crowd-pleasing microbrews, and don't be shy about prodding the barkeeps for a beer-making tutorial." - Jenna Scatena
