forgot to mention ive been to circle and pinthouse (north and the original).  hi sign is off 71, right?  near live oak?  4th tap sounds like my next destination.

[4th&Five 41480]

Yes, that’s Hi Sign. They’re moving but not sure how soon. 

[ftf82 485]

Damnit. Now I'm craving an Ed's Best Bitter from Waterloo Brew.

Not really a microbrewery, but has anyone been to Thrive Craft House on Guadalupe just up the road from Hopfields?  Looks like it might be decent.

Yup.

Then again, I work across the street, so it's a little convenient.

Someone should start a beer thread.

Sounds like compadre in the pville area might be close to OP.

I’ve tried to like 4th tap but just can’t. In that area is hop squad, celis, adelberts, circle, abw, Oskar blues, etc. A little more central is brewtorium and oddwood ales. 

East side has Lazarus and blue owl.

Most of the south ones I like have already been mentioned. Hard to beat a nice day at live oak or abgb. The people that own nomadic are cool.

It’s pronounced “Ahs-weep-eh.”

went to 4th tap and hop squad last weekend, both were not good but 4th tap was marginally better. oskar blues has made significant improvements to their outside space since the last time i was there, and their beer was far better than the other 2.

I would agree with all of that.

[jimmyjazz 45630]

I definitely prefer Oskar Blues to 4th Tap.

[CooterBrown 17950]

Gotta give OddWood some love. They are producing great beer.  Also, hit up their nearby neighbor, Batch.  Those two breweries produce some of the best beer in town.

[Larry T. Spider 1746]

Haven’t been to batch but I did make it to oddwood right before covid hit. It was pretty good and I need to get back.

Yep, 4th Tap blows.

Lazarus is pretty terrible too unless something has changed recently- I gave up on them in 2018. Zilker Brewing Co. is my favorite in that region.

I haven't seen Meanwhile mentioned here so I'll bring it up. They're south with a nice setup (plenty of land, a few food trucks, a stage for bands) and decent beers... easy to combine with a trip to Live Oak, Hi Sign, etc.

I stopped by ABGB today- great beer as usual and a good band playing. They also have a tangerine sour on tap right now.

Lazarus is hit or miss. They have some very solid ones and then some meh ones

[Larry T. Spider 1746]

I thought Lazarus was decent the couple of times that I went. It’s been a while though.

finally made it down to meanwhile brewing. all of the beers i tried were good...the festbier collab with deschutes was the highlight. the kids though, my god the kids. it's like a playground that happens to have a brewery there. 

[texasdago 7553]

Meanwhile is exceptional - such a great set up.

 

Also love being near Beerburg, Fitzhugh, Last Stand, Jester King, Family Business...
