Which microbreweries represent the best of Austin?

Craft beer is taking over the world, and Austin, TX is one of the epicenters of the invasion. We scoured the Hill Country for the 30 best microbreweries in and around Austin, compiling them all here just for you.

With Austin’s reputation of embracing the off-kilter, the Texas capital is a perfect place for some non-traditional and experimental brews to come to life. Breweries, cideries, and even distilleries pop up seemingly over night, and can be quite difficult to keep track of. Fear not however, we have you covered.

We should also tell you not to take the rankings too seriously; these are our 30 favorite breweries, but very little separates the top from the bottom. Tap rooms and the brewery property were taken into account, along with the brews themselves. You can’t go wrong visiting any of the breweries on the list, so get out there and enjoy yourself. Austin is one of the best cities in the United States for beer drinkers, so take advantage!

(Just don’t take advantage too much. Have a designated driver, don’t be a moron.)
