Austin Area Brewery Map
While, sadly, I cannot write an events article as of late, I am going to try to keep of list of new beer releases that are happening around town. I think we all would like to be able to eventually meet up with friends at our local taprooms, the next best thing we can do now is to buy the beer and bring it home.
Breweries re-opening this week:
Breweries that are re-opening their doors after initially shutting down due to Covid-19.
The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company
Open seating for to go “picnics” in their beer garden starting May 14th from 11:30-9 pm. Requires reservations.

Family Business Beer Company
Open again for to-go beer
Oasis Texas Brewing Company
Opening doors for dine-in service on Tuesday, May 19th with 25% capacity

This one slipped under our radar. While they’ve been open, we thought we would make mention of it. It is in Dripping Springs and has beer to go.
New Beer Releases
New offerings from breweries that are releasing this week, or offerings that are now returning to the menu after a hiatus. We cannot promise they will still be in stock by the time the weekend comes around, so check the online ordering systems first!
