    [Photos and words by A. Haley] With Austin’s increase in beer brewers, as well as drinkers, one would expect a great annual beer event to go hand-in-hand. Luckily the Beer Knurds at the Flying Saucer were willing to step up to the plate and host [...]

    Shit yeah. Possibly the only thing better than a megalomaniac rapper claiming to replace a chunk of his teeth with diamonds is Austin Beer Week. Or maybe just imaging this guy chewing his food with the same items most of us chumps use to vow [...]

    (512) Brewing Co celebrate the terrible twos with an exquisite double IPA. Oh happy day. We went out to the brewery the other day to kick the tires and sample some of Mr. Brand’s new wares. The beer’s good. Nice and hoppy, but not over hoppy. [...]

    Couple weeks ago Parkside had us out for their ‘summer nights’ Independence beer dinner. It was pretty swanky. Four courses plus h’orderves. Nice. I’m not a food blogger and I won’t pretend to be. No lie, I was there for the beer, and the food [...]
