"Hosting a Summer Kickoff Party on Sunday, May 25 (noon–5 p.m.), this brewery offers its usual lineup of cold beers plus icy and frozen cocktails and bites, with notable drink specials like $2 Jello shots and $15 mini-pitchers of Woo Girl Punch (a pineapple-fruited blonde beer with tequila and lime). Food trucks will be on site serving familiar comfort items such as fried chicken sandwiches and burgers, a small pop-up market of vintage and local vendors will be present, and DJ Mr. Brown Sounds will spin throughout the afternoon." - Courtney E. Smith
"The East Sixth brewery has become an East Austin staple by producing crowd-pleasing beers — mostly in lighter styles — and canning quite a few for backyard and picnic consumption. While the interior of the taproom is fairly small due to the central location, there’s a generous patio to perch on, complete with fried chicken (and tempeh) sandwiches and tots from the on-site truck Spicy Boys. The staff is friendly, and the brand’s light and refreshing style will appeal to a variety of tastes. Try the Parks and Rec pale and the Icy Boys, an outstanding rice lager collaboration with Spicy Boys." - Erin Russell
"This brewery right on East Sixth makes a variety of great brews from IPAs to lagers, plus a great nonalcoholic IPA, Hop Water. But the real attraction is pairing those drinks with fried chicken sandwiches, cauliflower nugs, and roti from on-site food truck Spicy Boys. People-watching with beer and spicy fried chicken on one of the outdoor patio tables is a combination that’s hard to beat." - Erin Russell
"When the weather gets warm, there are very few combinations in Austin as satisfying as a Spicy Boys sandwich and an Icy Boy—Zilker Brewing’s rice lager. The fried chicken sandwiches from the on-site food truck are some of our favorites in town, and Icy Boys is the poster child for crisp, clean, and refreshing beers. But Zilker Brewing is a lot more than just rice lagers—you can also get some great hazy IPAs and fruited kettle sours. And it’s right next to all the bars on East 6th Street if you want to turn an afternoon hangout into an all-night hang. " - nicolai mccrary
"The brewery is offering a hazy IPA called In the Path of Totality 1:36PM in collaboration with Austin Beerworks and Meanwhile Brewing. They are also brewing a Mexican amber lager called Sol Searching. The In the Path beer is available on April 8 or at participating retail shops." - Nadia Chaudhury
