"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
"This is Austin, so it makes sense that there’s a brewery right next to the convention center. Central District brews all sorts of beer styles in its friendly, approachable tap room, like its award-winning Kayaker’s kolsch, fruited sours, and other rotating styles. There’s also a spicy margarita and nonalcoholic options, and a small outdoor area." - Erin Russell
"The downtown brewery has released a new Red River Kölsch with artwork by Cat Barrera; proceeds from the beer will benefit the Red River Cultural District and nonprofit Caritas. The beer will be available at the taproom starting Wednesday, July 20, with a launch party on Friday, July 21." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Central District Brewing at 417 Red River Street in Downtown Austin is adjusting hours due to the winter storm." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The downtown brewery is offering its beer lineup for pickups in the form of cans, crowlers, and packs, along with beverages from other Austin breweries. Orders for curbside pickups must be placed online." - Nadia Chaudhury
