Circle Brewing Co. - Austin Beer Guide

NEWS CONTINUED . . .
a birthday party August 25. They will supply
the beer. Looking ahead, events are already
lining up for the annual fall onslaught of beer
events. The Austin Flying Saucer will hold its
Beerfeast on September 29. The Texas Craft
Brewers Festival, Austin Beer Guide Readers’
and Editors’ Choice for best beer event in
2011, returns on October 6 to Fiesta Gardens.
Draught House will host its 44th anniversary
party during Austin Beer Week, happening
October 20-28.
THERE’S A CIRCLE FOR THAT
Circle Brewing got all techy and released a
surprisingly solid iPhone app (for a brewery).
Looking for a Circle brew? Look no further
than your phone. It’s cheaper than Angry
Birds (free).
FARMHOUSE ORGANICS
Jester King is now a certified organic producer
under the USDA’s National Organic Program.
This makes them the first and only brewery
in Texas authorized to label their beers as
certified organic.
ON THE HORIZON
Bastrop Brewhouse has popped up on the
beer internet radar. They are planning to open
in August 2012 on the banks of the Colorado
River. Back in town, craft beer continues to
drown Austin drinkers and is making its way
to Rainey street, where two new spots, Craft
Pride and Bangers, are in the works. Opening
this summer, Bangers will have 101 taps (!)
and 101 types of sausages (not really, but they
will have a lot). Some sausages will be made in
house, others from artisans across the country.
Pint House Pizza on Burnet Road has begun
construction. Pizza and beer to follow. Darkside
Fermentation has found land for their brewery
and had a groundbreaking party June 22.
More good stuff to come from them for sure.
And finally, we present you with two words:
Infamous Brewing.
TEX MEX GOES GRANDE
Adding their name to the Highway 290 beer
crawl, Twisted X Brewing Company has secured
land in Dripping Springs to build a 7,000 square
foot destination-style brewery, including a full
scale retail bottling line, on three acres.
