    Carnitas quesadilla
    Kristi B.

    We arrived here around 4 o'clock on a Monday afternoon and found it to be pretty quiet which was wonderful because we were looking for something that was low-key. They have soft jazz music playing in the background, which was perfect. It wasn't blaring so you could actually have a conversation. They have a huge selection of beers on tap - 23 to be exact. They also had several ciders on top that they do in house! There is tons of space here so if you have a large group, this is an excellent location to bring them to. They also have a little kids play area as well and it's totally pet friendly. My husband had the black thunder and he really enjoyed it. It's not overly heavy very easy to drink. Has hints of coffee but finishes with a nice chocolate note. I tried Ricky's rosé cider, very light very easy to sip on. I also tried the big green cider, which I really liked. Little dry, but not overly so. They also have a permanent food truck that serves Mexican inspired dishes, such as tacos and quesadillas, but they also have some other general food like chicken wings. I ordered two tacos ($5.50/each) - the carnitas and the pollo. Both were packed full of meat! It was exceptional and I truly felt I got my moneys worth. My husband got the Carnitas, quesadilla and again packed full of meat. Both the dishes were absolutely delicious.

    Very lively place to drink a beer and gather with friends and be friendly to a stranger sitting next to you or across from you. There are 8 large tables with benches and an outdoor sitting area. It's Austin, find all kinds of wonderful people. There seems to be different kinds of groups meeting, showing diversity. The beer is good. Not sure about the food, we didn't know there was food offered because it was not on their website. But maybe next time we are in Austin.

    I came here today for a meet up. This was my first time here and the space is large and excellent for big groups! Nothing fancy about the space. It's very casual with an industrial design. The menu is vast with plenty of beer options and some non alcoholic choices as well. I ordered the frozen Strawberry marg ($10) and it was delicious! My only complaint is that the air conditioner was not working inside it was extremely hot inside :( The bartenders were friendly and inviting. Loved the kind service. There was also plenty of shaded outdoor seating. If you get hungry Can-tina food truck is onsite serving up great bites! Plenty of parking too!

    Austin Beerworks is this behemoth brewery that is on fire in this college town environment. The list of beers they produce is impressive. As for their kitchen / menu it's college town fare that is good but not memorable. We had: * Loaded Basket with tortilla chips, fries with queso and your choice of protein. Topped with pico-de-gallo, crema, shredded cheese and pickled - just Okay * Carne Asada Tacos with Marinated flank steak, with pico-de-gallo, cojita cheese and cilantro - Just Okay * Carnitas Tacos with Pork cooked low and slow with pickled red onion, cilantro and a lime wedge - just OK * Pollo Asado Tacos - Adobo chicken with guacamole, pickled red onion, cilantro and a lime wedge - Just OK Did the food "Wow" me - no! Would I come back here? Well, I've been out of college now for a billion years ago so, probably not. The brewery is pumping out some very nice beers - though

    Strong Belgian Ale from Austin Beerworks.  9% ABV.

    I love Austin Beerworks. They are local and do such a great job of various beer flavors that you can find all over bars and grocery stores in Austin, TX. Their store is nice with plenty of outdoor seating and decent food menu. My only complaint is that it looks like they stopped making their Belgium Ale. It would come out around this time and around for few months. That was my fav ABW beer. Hence one less star.

    Inside the front door of this fun place
    Victoria B.

    Great bar from stem to stern, including not only every style of beer, cider and lots of ales, but also interesting frozen concoctions (great for 100+ weather!). Good menu (food truck to the side) and plenty of picnic table seating. Cheery service, ability to run a tab, self-service water by the door. Too loud inside for easy conversation. Would have been completely happy if there had been the very slightest hint of AC. Sit outside and it's perfect!

    Tacos & a Brew
    Brian C.

    Cool solid spot to grab some good beer and relax. The inside is nice and spacious, and the outside has ample picnic style seating The beer was pretty tasty they have on draft. The stag was mellow and helpful. Had some tacos from the food truck and made for a good time. Thanks.

    Had a good time visiting this brewery. They had a good selection of beers, and area for the kids to play. The place had plenty of seating, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They also had a food truck, that was reasonably priced, in case you wanted a quick bite. Great ambiance, will definitely be coming back.

    Power & Elegance Japanese Rice Lager as a collab beer with Lucky Envelope Brewing!
    Alden C.

    Steve and I recently had a collaboration beer that Austin Beerworks did with Lucky Envelope Brewing for what looked to be for the 2024 Lunar New Year,the Year of the Dragon. Power & Elegance is the name of the beer that we had and it is a Japanese Rice Lager. It was excellent and I gave it very high marks on Untappd. Flavor features to find with this wonderful lager are grainy, sweet (a natural kind of sweetness) and tea. The beer is extremely light bodied which Steve and I often appreciate greatly as we more often than not prefer light beers.

    I've spent some time at their Springdale location, but today is the first time I made my way to their first location. Inside there's eight large picnic tables to sit at with six 90 barrel fermenters off to the side. By the entrance, you'll find condiments, their event board and fountain drinks. It does have that sparse industrial feel to it, but they do have a great beer, cocktail, cider, wine, and NA list. Unfortunately, there's little in the way of AC within the space. Outside there's lots of canvas covered seating, including some uncovered seating near the food truck. Although we did not order anything from the food truck, I hear they serve some legendary Saturday and Sunday brunches from 11 till one. Their beer menu features some in-house craft beer concoctions and they even have some house made beers that are packaged to go. One unique item that you will not find in retail is their THC seltzers to go. They do offer the seltzer on draft, but you're limited to two and you cannot combine it with a beer. If you're interested in combining running with drinking, they have a run club that meets Wednesdays at 6 PM. The beers they make here are definitely solid and on point which explains their success. Informative photos and videos included.

In the attached picture from left to right I rank the sake from bad to less bad. The one of the right was bearable but I still would not buy it alone. Perhaps the japanese sakes would have tasted better? We also decided not to get the sushi hand rolls to try and make the drinks more bearable as they did not have much variety or sounded good. I was also not a fan of the interior. Kind of reminded me of an old chinese buffet with those large stick chairs and tables. The staff here were friendly, but nothing else really redeemed here

We got Texas Sake tasting to start with and this is where we finished. The flight looked very different from other people's reviews here and tasted VERY fishy. The yellow-ish one was probably the most bearable one but it still was not good at all. To be very honest, I really had to push myself to take more than one sip of each. If I had nothing to compare with, I would probably refrain from being this harsh, but I have had cheap and expensive sake and I have never tasted anything this bad... We looked at the hand roll options and we didn't find anything we would be interested in. The interior felt like it was a bingo room with a couple of Japan inspired booths that looked a little bit out of place compared to the rest of the floor. Gave one star for nice staff and a cool fish mural.

    We didn't even realize that Pinthouse Brewing had a sourdough crust (apparently not all locations…read moredo), so that was such a fun surprise. The sourdough pizza was really good--almost like a focaccia/Detroit-style hybrid, but with the sauce layered on the bottom. Super flavorful, crispy edges, soft inside... honestly just hit. Also--my husband was way too excited (in the best way) to see boiled peanuts on the menu, so of course we had to start there. Great call. We'll definitely be back.

    Pinthouse Brewing was a brewery Steve and I went to while on our vacation to Austin a few months…read moreago. The building is quite large and inside is cool as the seating is quite spacious and a large number of people can enjoy food and drink at once. Definitely not a tiny, small placed brewery...but it's true... everything is bigger in Texas! When we were at Pinthouse I spotted a Mexican Lager which is a type of lager I love and especially in warm weather... a perfect summer beer for me! The name of the beer was Burro's Breakfast. In the flavor profile of this beer you will find a naturally sweet corn flavor, some maltiness along with a tart and dry finish. The beer is light bodied like most lagers of this type and smooth in body. In addition to having a beer we also decided to get some lunch. So we got a chicken sandwich a piece along with coleslaw and had a very nice lunch. Coming to Pinthouse Brewing proved to be a good stop as we made a pretty extensive tour of the breweries in Austin.
