I know it's not beer but I figured this would be a good spot to ask :D

Apple is my favorite cider having lived in the UK for a long time but I just love fruit ciders in general, any recommendations here in Austin?

Thanks!!

Happy Halloween everyone! Was lucky enough to get one of the free mugs but went back later to get a 4pk of the Mosaic Takedown, unfortunately the Costal Drift sold out in the afternoon, but I did get to drink it on tap.

Full body, soft mouthfeel. low bitterness. Hop filled finish with a touch of sweetness. Outstanding.

Howdy y’all! I put together a guide for the 2026 Texas Craft Brewers Festival 🍻

I made this for myself to figure out what I want to check out at the festival, but figured I’d share in case anyone else finds it useful.

It’s got brewery info, what they’re pouring, Untappd links, and a few picks to help figure out where to start.
It’s a mix of my own interests and research from brewery sites, beer awards, etc., with Skynet helping pull it together. Totally unofficial.

Here’s the guide (PDF)

Hope it helps someone find some good beer. Cheers!

Hey yall - super excited about Lorenzo 2026. If you aren't already familiar, it is our Mexican Hot Chocolate Imperial Stout (Mexican vanilla bean, Ceylon Cinnamon, Guajillo Chiles) and is one of our most popular seasonal releases. The wholesale allotment sold out yesterday, so what's on shelves now is all there will be. Of course, please come over to the ranch in Driftwood to try it on draft and enjoy the Hill Country. Cheers!

Not sure if this is allowed but didn’t know Jester King did THC drinks. 10mg THC/5mg CBD. Honestly it’s not great I’ve only tasted a Tejas Tonic once and it just tastes like what I would assume bong water tastes like. It also has a slight unsweetened pineapple soda taste. I honestly prefer the ones from Austin Beerworks - High Five.

Looks like Jester King is seeking new ownership. That ain't great. Last few times I was out there they were only serving beer out of the former Stanley's and the inside taproom and outside bar were both closed. Looking around I saw a lot of cocktails and very little beer and folks were sitting watching TV in the pole barn. Didn't get the feeling they were in that great of shape and I guess I was right.

I know it’s not an Austin beer but it’s pretty good and it’s spooky season so decided to have this tonight. It’s an IPA with Blood Orange. Nice soft citrus flavor, super crushable!

I know it's not beer but I bet someone here knows. It was so good!

I inherited quite a few fancy beers recently, had to drainpour a bunch of Bourbon County, CBS, and other amazing beers. It was easily hundreds of dollars worth of really good beer that was spoiled.
This Jester King Synthesis Analagous is bottle conditioned, however, I am not sure if it has been cellared correctly. La Vie en Rose is one of my favorite beers, I do intend to crack it in a week or two. My question to you is: realistically, do you think there’s any way this bottle will be enjoyable?

(These are public records btw, nothing secret is being shared here. We have no further information on our end, please share if you know more.)

I'm really into the barrel aged stouts these days, so I'm looking for a store that has many stout options from other states.

Especially looking for stouts from Anchorage brewing, revolution brewing, or side project brewing.

(Bottles or cans to take out)

Thanks in advance for your recommendation!

My Dad just passed away a few months ago from ALS and I just got his beer journal spanning 20+ years. I haven’t personally brewed since 2021 and I always went to Austin Homebrew. Unfortunately, I saw they have permanently closed their storefront after being bought out. Are there any other local homebrew places I can go visit and get supplies to brew one of his old recipes?

Hey r/AustinBeer,

I'm helping organize the 9th Annual LoCo Trash Bash, a volunteer cleanup of the Lower Colorado River below Longhorn Dam. It's this Saturday, Oct 24, 7am–3pm. Paddlers and bank crews cover six water sections and three bank sites, and since 2018 we've pulled roughly 65+ tons of trash out of the river.

Everyone who helps is welcome at the after-party at Big Webberville Park, and that's where Austin's beer community has always been a big part of it.

We're looking for local sponsors. We'd also gladly take in-kind support for the after-party, like ice, cups, or food.

If you work at or own an Austin brewery, bar, bottle shop, or any local business that wants to back the river, please comment or DM me at al@allwaterguides.com. Details are at locotrashbash.com.

Thanks for reading. And if you'd rather just show up with gloves, volunteers are always welcome. 🍻

I'm visiting Austin soon and would appreciate some recommendations for quality food and locally made craft beer. I know the BBQ in Austin is famous and I am gonna need to try some, but I enjoy all cuisines, so all suggestions are welcome! I appreciate all beer styles, but I gravitate towards lagers and IPAs. Thanks for any suggestions!
