Best Breweries in Austin and Texas | Eater Austin
"The Austin beer scene circa the early 2000s involved sitting at a rickety picnic table in an industrial building; now, the brewery experience involves pickleball courts, Astroturfed picnic areas, beautiful indoor areas, mocktails, and multiple food trucks. As befits its upscale Spicewood location, there’s a moneyed vibe to the setup here. The beer, however, is rock solid, especially the lighter styles like the Honey Blonde, kolsch, and Fest Bier. Pair them with an array of pizzas, burgers, pretzels, and salads; kids (and adults) can also partake in popsicles, ice cream, and Shirley Temples. There’s a decidedly fashionable crowd here, but the staff are welcoming, and the views and brews are well worth the drive." - Erin Russell
