Itinerary:

Friday May 26, 2017
7 PM – Welcoming reception at Austin Beerworks!
3001 Industrial Terrace, Austin, TX 78758

Saturday May 27, 2017
5PM – 10PM – Five Year Anniversary Party & Bottle Share at Jester King Brewery!
13187 Fitzhugh Rd, Austin, TX 78736

You didn’t think we’d ask you to come to Austin and miss visiting the beautiful Jester King brewery! They’ve given us a great space to throw our party on their land, tucked away from the crowds for our party and bottle share.

Speaking of bottle share– We encourage you to bring between a few bottles from favorite breweries in your area to share with the rest of us. Bring beer you’re excited about, and try beer others have brought! And be sure to bring your own glass, just in case.

Plus, several local breweries have also committed to providing some of their beer, free for the party! Expect beer from Hops & Grain, Blue Owl, Austin Beerworks and more!

We may or may not be doing a live show, but we’re still talking about the logistics of that.

The rest of Saturday is open. Take that time and explore Austin! Need tips? We have a great guide on our FAQ page.

Sunday May 28, 2017
All Day- Austin brewery crawl
We’ll be visiting (in this order):
Pinthouse Pizza South
St Elmo Brewing Co
Live Oak Brewing 
Blue Owl Brewing
Hops & Grain
Lazarus Brewing

Map of locations:

Note: Outside of the party at Jester King on Saturday, the places we’ll be visiting are spread out across the city, so transportation will need to be considered. Uber and Lift aren’t in Austin anymore, but there are other rideshare services such as Fasten, Fare, and RideAustin. Or, you can get together with other listeners and rent a car.

I’ll be updating this itinerary with more specifics as things come together. And of course, everything is 21 and up.

It’s no question we have the best listeners ever. On this episode, we try five beers sent to us by our listeners–three of which are from Florida! We also talk Luke Skywalker, Florida Man, and The Room.

Coppertail Slam Piece Florida Weisse
J. Wakefield/Angry Chair When in Doubt
Funky Buddha More Moro Blood Orange IPA
Bearded Iris Chasing Rainbows IPA
Drake’s Electric Owl

Also! Patrons! You also get this!

The Beerists Mini 166 – Too Drunk For Transient
