i'm in Austin for a few days right now. What beers should I be looking for?
Sorry...with a big work crowd and probably won't be able to break free Thick.
Pretty much all beers from Oasis, Austin Beerworks and Hops and Grain are great. Oasis is my recent favorite, all of their beers are around or less than 5% and are great. Jester King if you can find it. I have some friends in town this weekend as well so pretty busy, but text me if you break free and I'll see what we're doing.
If you're downtown, go to Easy Tiger (#1 downtown choice, get a pretzel and beer cheese), Gingerman, Chicago House. Cocktails try Bar Congress, Peche, Isla, Wonderland. Lots of good stuff on the east side. Draught house is the best beer bar in town. About ten minutes north of downtown in my old hood.
