22 Essential Breweries in the Austin Area
"With the recent shutter of Thirsty Planet, convenient brewery options for Southeast Austin residents were quite limited (though Last Stand is a good option.) The still-new Fast Friends aims to expand those options via an enormous taproom. There’s a wide array of beer styles: in recent months, highlights have included the Big Citra West Coast pils and the Fritz German pilsner. Wine, cider, and nonalcoholic beverage options are also available here. The high-ceiling space has a large patio and an open kitchen focused on pizzas, salads, and roasted vegetables. The customer service is also a highlight. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Tom Thornton
