22 Essential Breweries in the Austin Area
"The brewery-pizzeria mini-chain has become a mainstay of both family dinners and beer nerds by offering a convivial, communal atmosphere paired with a comfort food menu of pizza, nachos, soft pretzels, and (critically) award-winning beers. The multi-location brewery is best known for the ubiquitous Electric Jellyfish IPA, a hazy New England-style beer that’s served everywhere in Austin. A wide assortment of other stellar IPAs come and go seasonally from the tap wall, and the Magical pils and Bearded Seal stout are similarly best in class. Also worth noting: bar service here is consistently efficient and polite, which is no easy feat given the crowds. To-go orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Tom Thornton
