4th Tap Brewing Cooperative
10615 Metric Boulevard, Austin, 78758
Spacious worker-owned microbrewery with picnic tables & a projector screen in an industrial taproom. 4th Tap is a small, worker-owned brewery located in North Austin. A couple of Austin-natives banded together with a few transplants from Houston, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi to build the 4th Tap brewery in their old stomping grounds of North Central Austin. After 6 years of preparation, research (drinking beers) and development (brewing beers), we finally opened their doors to the public in late 2015 with a focus on using inspired ingredients to make honest beer. We’ve been brewing and sharing our beer ever since. We designed the taproom to for our community and neighborhood in mind. It is meant to be a gathering space for all, and home for us. Come by, introduce yourself, and join us for a beer or two. – 4thtap.coop
Adelbert’s Brewery
2314 Rutland Drive, Austin, 78758
Since its founding in 2011, Adelbert’s Brewery has grown to become an award-winning microbrewery in Austin, Texas. We believe excellent beer requires quality ingredients and hands-on brewing. We use non-GMO Bohemian floor malted barley, Noble hops, and fresh yeast propagated at the brewery. Adelbert’s Brewery is a tribute to our founder Scott Hovey’s brother, George Adelbert “Del” Hovey. Del always took time to enjoy a beer with family and friends, recounting his travels from around the world. Our mainstay beers are named after stories Del loved to tell. We took his spirit of adventure and put it into each beer. With our vast array of beer styles, you’re sure to find a brew that suits you. Scott, founder and brewmaster of Adelbert’s Brewery, believes in brewing the beer he likes to drink. – adelbertsbeer.com
Austin Beerworks
3001 Industrial Terrace, Austin, 78758
Austin, these are the folks who brew your beer. We’ve got backgrounds ranging from military, hair styling, pro disc golf, corporate finance, and some it’s probably best not to discuss publicly. The one thing we all have in common? A deep love and knowledge of craft beer. That and seeing people trip. We know it’s mean, but it makes us laugh. There’s nothing like drinking our beers fresh out of the tank. Sure it’s 103 degrees and you’re standing on a concrete floor next to a hot tank and velvet painting of Sloth from the Goonies – but don’t forget that drinking out of the tank thing. – austinbeerworks.com

Brewtorium
6015 Dillard Circle, Austin, 78752
Whether it’s high-quality hops, grain, water and yeast combined to craft the perfect beer or a group of folks hitting it off over an afternoon of pints, something truly magical happens when the right elements come together to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Chris has been honing his beer recipes and brewing process over the last decade and has taken home over 125 awards from homebrew competitions nationwide. Although he loves to brew all styles, he’s most passionate about the classic German beer styles, so you’ll see some German influence throughout our beer lineup and in other ways as well. Our garage brewery has served as a laboratory for many wild experiments and late nights of entertaining neighbors, friends and fellow brewers who have encouraged him to consider making his hobby a profession. As residents of north Austin, we have been dreaming of a neighborhood brewpub to spend afternoons and evenings in the company of friends and family, sipping on quality house-crafted beer and enjoying great food in a casual beer garden atmosphere where everyone and their dog (literally) is welcome. We’ve developed the concept for The Brewtorium with this in mind…100% locally-owned and operated, dog-friendly, comfortable, unique and community-focused. With old-world tradition and an Austin state of mind, we’re thrilled to be bringing the reality of The Brewtorium to the Highland neighborhood. Members of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, Brewers Association, Master Brewers Association of the Americas and the Austin Zealots homebrew club, we feel so fortunate to be in the company of so many amazing Austin craft brewers and enthusiasts who push us to be better, learn more, stay true to our roots and put quality at the forefront of everything we do at The Brewtorium. – thebrewtorium.com

Sit back, relax, and enjoy Pierre’s original witbiers and Christine’s new ones in an Old World-inspired tasting room that’s unlike any other in Austin. The first Celis Brewery opened on July 11th in 1992. It was an immediate success. Turns out Texans really liked our beer! Before we “crazy Belgians” arrived, most Texans were drinking one of “the big three” brands on the market. The small craft breweries that we all know and love today simply did not exist. When Pierre Celis started brewing his beloved beer, he created a craft beer that changed everything. – celisbeers.com
Circle Brewing
2340 W Braker Lane, Austin, 78758
In 2010, Circle Brewing Co. was founded by childhood friends, Ben Sabel and Judson Mulherin. We began with little money and an over-abundance of passion. With some help from our friends and family, we pooled the money to retain a lease and start construction on the brewery in March of that year. After a long and grueling buildout, a few equipment delays, and a peppering of a little good and a little bad luck, we brewed our first batch of beer on December 9th, 2010, our ENVY Amber. Since 2010, we have been abiding by the philosophy that less is more. Circle endeavors to create better beer using simply water, malt, hops, yeast, and absolutely nothing else.We’ve come quite a way since then, and we continue to push ourselves, learn new things, and experiment in our brewing. – circlebrewing.com
Draught House
4112 Medical Parkway, Austin, 78756
This hip brewpub’s vast craft-beer menu includes a few made on-site, plus food-truck grub outside. To build the Draught House, a home was demolished and a cellar dug for beer. A hand built bar, tables, and chairs were added to the Tudor/Bavarian structure. Exposed cedar beams and wainscoting finished out the rustic “Texas meets the Old Country” pub. Wayne placed eighteen beer towers on the bar top and opened the doors on June 30th, 1969. And for 25 years the Overtons ran what was likely the best place in Texas to drink draught beer. All of the beers are unfiltered and no clarifying agents are used. Our beers are fresh, clean and hoppy in the way that only brewpubs can make them. – draughthouse.com

The taproom is a large 2300 s/f area which we have taken great pride to make our guests as comfortable as possible. When we have those cooler days we have excellent heaters to warm up the space. We have tons of room for games, music and much more. At the end of the day we are all about providing an amazing place to come drink and hang out. – flyingmanbrewing.com
North by Northwest Brewing
10010 N Capital of Texas Highway, Austin, 78759
North by Northwest came into existence from an idea that I had many years ago – that great craft-brewed beer and fabulous food could come together in a fun and interesting atmosphere. I chose the name North by Northwest because I wanted to convey the image of the Northwest where many brewpubs and micro-breweries got their start. Once settling on the name, the architecture and the image flowed naturally. Stone and wood are combined with the high vaulted ceiling to create the feel of those great lodges in our Northwest National parks.We have urbanized it a bit with the steel structure and industrial designed light fixtures. The Brewery Tower is a prominent feature along with the NXNW grain silos. The one directly in front of the Brewery Tower is a functioning silo full of 25,000 lbs. of barley – the major component of the beer-making process. All the beers at NXNW are brewed right on site inside the Tower. – nxnwbrew.com
Oskar Blues

Craft beer in a can stays fresher for longer, and it’s easy to pack in (and pack out) on any soul-saving adventure.

Infamous Brewing Company
4602 Weletka Drive, Austin, 78734
Infamous Brewing was founded by a group of people who shared a passion for quality beer and the goal of delivering great handmade craft beer in small batches. Despite coming from very diverse backgrounds, we were all drawn to the craft and the excitement of the ever-growing craft beer scene in Austin. We built our initial brewhouse from the ground up. We did not buy a pre-fabricated system because we believed that we could replicate that on our own. We also couldn’t afford a shiny new system without asking other people to pay for it. So piece by piece and part by part over a nine-month period, we built the system that we are currently brewing on. Come take a look – it’s pretty cool what a few dudes, nine months and a bunch of beer can do! – infamousbrewing.com

Sit back, relax, and sip on any of our six brews on tap including large and small batch brews, and brewery-exclusive beers. With events, live music, food trucks, and brewery tours, Two Wheel Brewing is likely to become your favorite brewery just south of south Austin! Marc brewed his first beer on a homebrew kit he received as a Christmas present. After the first taste of that simple Stout, he fell in love with creating and drinking beer. He continued to homebrew and read every book about brewing he could find. Next on the agenda was attending a brewing school. Marc studied Intensive Brewing Science and Engineering at American Brewer’s Guild in Middlebury, VT and graduated in July of 2012. After returning to Austin, he began to dream of owning a brewery. He somehow convinced his wife it was a good idea and Two Wheel Brewing Company was born. – twowheelbrewing.com
East Austin Breweries
Blue Owl Brewing
2400 E Cesar Chavez Street, Austin, 78702
We started Blue Owl to make sour beers approachable. Like the salsa on your taco, sourness in a beer should accentuate what’s already there instead of dominating your taste buds. Our aim is to produce clean, well-balanced beers that retain the characteristics of their style. Approachable to us also meant your experience in our taproom. We want to make you feel welcome, whether you’re looking to hang out with some friends or nerd out about beer science. Lastly, our focus on approachability led us package primarily in cans. We strive to make consistent, affordable sours in a can you’re proud to hold at a party. Blue Owl is owned by Jeff Young (brewing) and Suzy Shaffer (business), and staffed by a small gang dedicated to making and serving their absolute favorite beers. – blueowlbrewing.com
Brewer’s Table
4715 E 5th Street, Austin, 78702
We love food as much as we love beer as much as we love food, and our brewing philosophy reflects the kitchen, the seasons, and the unrelenting sunshine of central Texas. The beer lineup focuses heavily on the versatility of lagers and the influence and beauty of wood in fermentation. In fact, to say we’re heavily lager forward is to ignore the fact that our current menu consists entirely of foedered lagerbier. This was not an accident. With absolutely no disrespect toward ales, we want to push the boundaries of what lagers can be. And, you know what, we’ll slip an ale in there a some point in time. Much like the fluidity of the kitchen menu, the house beers reflect our experimental nature. While we hold tight to two core beers, even these will adapt and evolve with our palates and our temperaments. – thebrewerstable.com

Rentsch Brewery
2500 NE Inner Loop, Georgetown, 78626
Rentsch Brewery was founded by father and son David and Andrew Rentschler. The inspiration for opening a brewery began in Europe where Andrew was studying German. He also picked up the extracurricular activity of ‘studying’ Biergartens, where he noticed that the focus was enjoying the quality of local craft beers. In addition, they provided a place for friends and family to gather and leisurely hang out and enjoy each others’ company. Andrew’s family met him in Europe during a break in his studies, and he shared his concept with them. It was at a Biergarten that the dream for Rentsch Brewery began. Our rapid expansion presented itself as a perfect opportunity to live up to one of our core values of being an environmentally responsible business. We made special investments to ensure our brewery equipment is completely electric. – rentschbrewery.com
