About Austin Beerworks

Austin Beerworks is a brewery and taproom on Industrial Terrace in north Austin. It has been brewing since 2011, and it chose cans from the start. Its taproom pours every core beer plus new RAD Lab beers each week that you can only get there.

RAD Labs is a 7-barrel pilot system where anyone at the brewery can try a recipe. Core beers include Pearl Snap, a German-style pils, and Fire Eagle, an American IPA. The brewery says Fire Eagle won a silver medal at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival.

Peacemaker was the beer the brewery decided to brew first, and Smalltime is its light beer. The taproom also serves wine, cider and frozen drinks. There is plenty of beer to go and a wall of merch.

Pets are welcome on the covered patio, though only service animals can go inside. The brewery runs a weekly run club from this taproom.
