Now in its fourth year, Austin Beer Week (ABW) is a craft-beer-fueled test of endurance. It’s time to get your hangover supplies in order.
Produced in collaboration with the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, the nine-day celebration features food pairings, beer dinners, special tappings, and movie premieres, among a host of other flush and blush-inducing events, including a burlesque show. With almost 200 events to choose from, whittling down the offerings to a shining few proves veritably impossible. However, highlights include Friday’s official kickoff party at Craft Pride, the sold-out Jester King Funk & Sour Fest, a panel discussion with local brewers on the future of craft beer at Black Star Co-op, and an Austin Beer Guide bike pub crawl to finish out the week. Courtesy of ABW’s interactive calendar, you can find all of my top picks for the week here.
