Don’t look now, but bars across America are being invaded by Austin’s own. Tito’s Handmade Vodka is king of cocktails and PBR has been ousted by Shiner as the hip beer of choice. (Shiner isn’t quite Austin, but it’s close enough.) Now we can add Austin Eastciders to the list. In the span of four […]

Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden Unites Drinks, Music, and Permaculture
Coffee and beer have to be the top two beverages Austin survives on. It’s easy to find either–and often both–at cafes and breweries all over the city.

However, unbeknownst to many, Austin boasts […]
Discovering Desert Door and One of Texas’ Oldest Spirits
There’s a large number of craft breweries and distilleries surrounding the Austin area, so I wasn’t shocked to hear about the opening of another distillery.

Drink Hyperlocal at City’s First Urban Distillery, Still Austin Whiskey Co.
Most people don’t spend Sunday afternoon relaxing in an industrial park, but that’s where I found myself. Outside, a jazz band was warming up, as a freshly-poured old fashioned chilled in my hand.
