"Austin Beerworks sprang up during the craft beer movement of the early 2010s, but unlike other breweries that have come and gone, it’s shown no signs of slowing down. You’ll find their core beers at bars and restaurants all over town, but show up to the brewery in North Austin and you’ll be able to sample about 20 different brews and seasonal releases. It’s dog- and kid-friendly, with plenty of space for both to run around, but because it’s so spread out, you’ll never feel like you’re drinking at a daycare. " - nicolai mccrary
