Before I became a beer nerd, I was a wine lover- and still am! I set my goal so high to try over 100 breweries and brew pubs in Austin that I forgot how relaxing a smooth red blend can be. The wine scene is definitely smaller than the beer scene in Austin, but there […]
I recently received a copy of the Austin Beer Guide featuring over one hundred and fifty breweries, bars & restaurants located throughout Austin and surrounding areas. Since the Austin Beer Guide is a compilation of businesses that include multiple locations and due to some places having closed their doors and new ones that have opened- [...]

We intentionally set out to share our individual favorites with the group and serve a course that pairs perfectly with our [...]
