22 Essential Breweries in the Austin Area
"Let’s get it out of the way: yes, it’s a drive to get to the Dripping Springs brewery from Austin proper. But once there, you’ll find a jovial taproom with indoor and outdoor seating, a large lawn for kids to roam on, and occasional live music. The core lineup of tap and canned beers are attuned to Hill Country porch drinking: there’s a Great American Beer Festival-approved German pils (Golden Age), and a very nice American pale ale (Hamilton pale.) And yes, there’s a tasty, citrus-forward IPA. This brewery is also pet-friendly and has a playground. Fun fact: Family Business is co-founded by veteran television actor Jensen Ackles (Supernatural, Days of Our Lives, The Boys). There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Tom Thornton
