I love you so much.
It’s a simple phrase and one of the most popular murals in Austin. It also sums up how I feel about this city’s beer scene.
With over 58 breweries in Austin and central Texas, there’s a lot to love about our craft beer. I could go on and on about my favorite spots or the best IPAs at the most kid-friendly breweries. And I do, that’s why I have this beer blog.
NOTE: Due to Covid-19, many Austin-area taprooms are finding creative ways to stay open and have in place new policies. Many are still offering pick-up or delivery. Some are offering indoor seating as well as outdoor tables. My suggestion is to visit the social media of the below breweries (or call them directly) to see what they are currently offering.
Austin Breweries
Whether you just moved to Texas or you’re planning what is sure to be an unforgettable beer-cation, this list should be your launching pad to Austin breweries.

Austin Breweries In Progress
Vacancy Brewing is planning to open their taproom late Fall 2020. They’ll be located in South Austin, nearly neighborhoods with The Yard and St. Elmo Brewing
Meanwhile Brewing is still under construction, and by the looks of their Instagram, they could be opening before the year is over… 3901 Promontory Point Drive, 78744
Slackers Brewing Company hopes to open their taproom in Anderson Mill by Spring 2021.
Urban Jungle Brew successfully met their Kickstarter goal (Is that what it’s called?! lol). Anyways, Shannon Harris is looking to open the first black-owned brewery in the area and he’s hoping to do so with a unique farm brewery experience. I can’t wait for this one. Check out Jungle Brew on Instagram to keep up with the progress.

Epic epic post! Aaaaand my “to-try” list of breweries in Austin just grew by about 10…
Do the breweries listed without a Kitchen allow for people to bring their own food in?
Most of the times yes! I would call ahead to be sure.
Wow! I’m so glad I found this. I lead customized beer tours and haven’t seen such a complete list of our breweries until now. Well-done!
Thank you so much! Cheers
Couple updates:
Flying Man = Willard’s Brewery now
Two Wheel = gone
Cheers!
Thank you so much for these updates! I’m working on getting this post updated for fall. I appreciate it, cheers!
