Best Breweries in Austin and Texas | Eater Austin

"For those attending Convention Center events or en route to a concert at Stubb’s, this Red River venue in downtown Austin is a simple, pleasant spot for a craft beer. Beers are cleverly named after song titles: on a recent visit, there were references to the Incubus and Florence & The Machine on the menu. The menu is helpfully designed in easy-to-parse sections like light, hoppy, sour, and dark, and the quality is really quite a bit better than a conference-goer might expect from an unassuming stop. Try the Texas Craft Brewers Guild’s award-winning Kayaker’s kolsch to start. Most seating is indoors, but there are a couple of tables outside." - Erin Russell
