Austin Area Breweries
Boasting the most breweries in Texas, Austin’s beer scene has been growing at the same break-neck pace as the city itself. The first craft brewery in Texas, Celis Brewery, was opened here by the man who single-handedly revived the Belgian Wit beer style. Some of the very best lagers in the country are made here due to the huge amounts of German and Czech immigrants that settled in Central Texas, and perhaps also because that Texas sun keeps us pretty hot for several months out of the year. Crushing a perfectly made lager is exactly how we beat the heat.
The Austin craft beer scene has everything from internationally renowned breweries, to huge brewpubs, to smaller hidden gems; all of which are producing truly great brews. The IPA game has been elevated here as well with notable brewers relocating from Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. You can find outstanding hazy IPAs and West Coast IPAs all over town now. Hooray for that!
With 58 breweries to choose from in the greater area including the nearby Hill Country, an amazingly supportive and enthusiastic beer community, and a seemingly non-stop calendar of beer events, Austin is definitely an up and coming beer city worth exploring!
