Highlights
-
Beerburg Brewing - Featuring ingredients foraged from their land, these brews are often limited in nature, making each one special and truly one-of-a-kind. Beerburg is a place where all are welcome; whether you’re visiting for a post-work beer, hanging with four legged friends, or enjoying time outside with the family.
Taqueria La Violeta, much like Beerburg, draws from the land with sustainable and ethical practices in mind. Authentic and inspired, many of the recipes stem from Ricardo’s grandmother, who ran the kitchen at the family restaurant for over 40 years and informed his approach to cooking.
Authentic, sustainable, and ethically sourced, if they can make a dish in-house from scratch, they will. At the end of the day, each dish, from the salsas to the ice cream is intended to be enjoyed alongside the beer.

This tour was great. Thanks Ike! - My wife and I enjoyed a half day of hill country beers and spirits hosted by the incredible Ike. We took a 30 minute ride in a comfortable van out of the city to Dripping Springs where we visited Fitzhugh Brewing, Treaty Oak Distillery, and Family Business Beer Company, all the while making conversation with other riders by virtue of Ike finding out things about each of us and connecting us together.
A couple of the places had food to order, but we just stuck to the drinks. Each place had lots of space and some tasty options, though not a ton of choices. It was a fun way to spend 4.5 hours in comfort with some fun folks imbibing outside of Austin. Definitely a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Amazing Brewery Tour with Jax - Absolutely fantastic! Jax is a superb host who knows how to bring 10 strangers to friendships status. Loved her expert knowledge of beer, spirits and historical facts about Texas. We are planning future trips and will ask for Jax by name!

Best 4 hours of our trip - The stops were wonderful but our guide was awesome! He helped everybody get to know each other and keep us all engaged. He made a point of talking to all of us at each stop to answer questions take pictures, pretty much anything we needed. Evan was the best we couldn’t have been any happier.

Fun afternoon tour with the best tour guide Evan!! - Our brewery bus tour was so fun. Evan really made the tour a great one with his energy, his humor knowledge of Austin and recommendations. I cannot say enough good things about him. The tour stopped at 2 breweries and one distillery. My favorite was the distillery…had a really cool vibe. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a fun afternoon!

Nice day, great guide! - Jax was a great guide and driver, and the three stops were all enjoyable. Loved the distillery especially. The Fitzhugh brewery was least favorite of the three, but only because a private event took all the indoor tables and it was a little cold and damp sitting outside. Other than that it was an enjoyable day and would definitely recommend any tour with Jax.
