22 Essential Breweries in the Austin Area

"Last year, Hi Sign left its rough-hewn warehouse by the airport and moved to a more central location in Govalle. The beers are calibrated to Austin’s warm weather, which means there are lighter styles along with dank IPAs and imperial stouts for those who partake. Service is warm in the spacious modern taproom, and staffers are happy to suggest favorites or offer a small sample to help patrons decide. There’s also a large outdoor area with picnic tables and food trucks Norte ATX and Ranch Hand for larger group get-togethers. Check the events calendar for regular comedy and trivia nights. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Tom Thornton
