10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Round Rock

"The North Burnet brewery is one of Austin’s iconic ones, and it’s one of the city’s more fun ones.

There’s also its own food truck, the Can-Tina, serving up burgers and tacos, with meat and vegetarian options."

"Austin Beerworks celebrates the people behind the brews as much as the beer itself, so expect to meet a cast of characters. This is an ideal activity to squeeze into an afternoon—especially for weekend visitors or locals who want a deeper understanding of Austin's burgeoning beer scene, courtesy a flight of Beerwork's four core beers. Pass the pilsner, please."

"The iconic can-only brewery hosts tasting hours, as well as pint nights, with the brewery’s Can-tina truck on site. The taproom serves from 11 a.m."

"Drinking Zilker beer is a deeply satisfying experience because everything coming out of this 15-barrel brewhouse is so unique and varied and expertly produced. With approximately 40 new small batches released so far in 2020, Zilker is basically holding Toyotathon for beer, like "What can we do to get you into this beer today?" How about their 20 different versions of hazy IPA in 2020 alone?. [RV Salesman Commercial Voice] "Hey, we've got hazy Marco, Viking Candy, Juice Complex, and Birthday Sauce! Retro Room, Torrid Daydream, Midnight Sun, and Stir Crazy! Hey, fella, didya forget your anniversary? We didn't! Bring our Fifth Anniversary Hazy back home to the missus today! Our cans are Insta-certified!" Anyway, you get the point."

"Stop in to the sleek Zilker Brewing Co. taproom and try a pint of their noted Coffee Milk Stout. Zilker also hosts a ton of fun events, from beer pairings to yoga-and-beer sessions.

"East Austin Tucked back in an industrial-esque complex, Hops and Grain has made a huge impact on the east side. People love The One They Call Zoe, an American lager and the Greenhouse IPA, but Hops and Grain isn’t afraid to branch out, either; they’re currently experimenting with a mixed culture Saison program, and will do a limited release later this year. There’s also a San Marcos location in the offing!"

"Hops & Grain Brewing is an eco-conscious East Austin brewery that produces hoppy hometown heroes like The One They Call Zoe and A Pale Mosaic. Make yourself at home in the taproom and grab a bite to eat on the weekends from one of the rotating food trucks. Be sure to pick up a healthy dog treat before you leave — they're made from spent grains!"

"Using local ingredients in a completely sustainable environment, Hops and Grain is for the beer lover with a conscience. Their current canned beers include the Lupulin Rodeo IPA, Pellets & Powder IPA, River Beer Lager, and the Pale Mosaic IPA. Pre-ordering online for curbside pickup is available."

"The North Burnet brewery brews its beers with Texas and German brewing processes, leading to stalwart drafts like the Envy (an amber) and the Blur (a Texas hefe), all available to drink at its great outdoor and indoor spaces. Seafood truck Huckleberry is parked at the taproom for all food needs. The beers are also available within the Q2 Stadium."

"Circle Brewery gets down to the basics, using German standards for its brewing process. The tasting room is open Thursday 5 to 9 p.m., until 10 p.m. on Friday, noon to 10 p.m."

"Kolaches are never not a crowd-pleaser, no matter the time of day. Batch offers a diverse array of Czech goodies and new pastry chef Madison Reis has launched a revamped menu of kolaches, including kid-pleasing peanut butter and chocolate and parent-pleasing Micklethwait Craft Meats brisket and barbecue sauce. The vegetarian-pleasing veggie sausage and cheese kolaches remain, and there are also snacks for those non-kolache-eating weirdos."

"Batch isn't a 2020 brewery, but we started hearing the buzz of admiration right around the beginning of lockdown, which is a ripe ingredient in a nine-layer dip of hype. First, brew several small batches of exceptional, double-dry-hopped IPAs with 8,000 Strata hops per square milliliter. Set the haze-o-meter to "Oat Milk Latte." Shutter the front doors to the public indefinitely."

"3220 Manor Rd. | Batch Craft Beer and Kolaches is an Austin, family-owned kolache bakery, coffee shop, and taproom. Batch offers a full espresso and coffee program through a partnership with Greater Goods Roasting. Their pastry chefs elevate the classic Central Texas Czech pastry to gourmet status by teaming up with Micklethwait Craft Meats and local fruit vendors."

"The Cedar Park brewery features 11 beers on tap, including Lovely Day IPA and seasonal specials. The taproom is open daily with drink specials, occasional live music, and a rotating list of food trucks."

"Oskar Blues Brewery, straight outta ColoRADo, was the first American craft brewer to self-can their own beers back in 2002. The whole canning beer things may seem like old news, but it's actually turned out to be a majorly important development in the craft beer game. Canned beer doesn't spoil from sunlight like bottles do, and there's the distinct advantage of being able to take them on outside excursions like hiking or swimming without worrying about them breaking."

"The Colorado brewery known for Dale’s Pale Ale picked Austin for its third location and Texas distribution center. Keeping with the spirit of the city, there are often musical performances in the taproom, as well as food trucks. Taproom hours are from noon to 8 p.m."

"I put in a mobile order for pickup and when I arrived home I noticed they forgot my slice of pie. I called and spoke with a worke..."

"Airport BoulevardGenerally it’s a good rule of thumb to steer clear of restaurants with the word “quality” in their name. The Quality Seafood Market on Airport Boulevard is a lone exception. All seafood tacos -- made with gulf shrimp, mahi mahi, or catfish prepared blackened, grilled, or fried -- are $4.99, unless you stop by on Tuesdays when they’re sold for $3, leaving you exactly enough cash for one $2 domestic draft, or two $1 Lone Stars."

"5621 Airport Blvd | Quality Seafood has been Austin’s go-to destination ocean loving eaters with the highest quality fresh and frozen seafood since 1938. The restaurant serves local Gulf favorites, like shrimp, oysters, and crawfish, alongside mouth-watering daily preparations, like Fried, Grilled or Blackened Gulf Drum, salmon, catfish and much more.

"Quality Seafood Market has been bringing the freshest seafood to Austin since 1938!. They are a supplier for many of the restaurants in Austin, but why not visit their restaurant in-house?. Their menu is massive and everything is delicious."

"Parkside is offering a Valentine’s Day Pre-Fixe Dinner for 2 for $70 per person. Enjoy items like Roasted half-rack of lamb, with black winter truffle, baby arugula; or Roasted red snapper, purple carrots, roasted potato, tomato, saffron. Enjoy family-style sides as well as supplemental appetizers, desserts, and optional wine pairings."

"Parkside’s rooftop patio affords diners the chance to see downtown Austin and the Sixth street masses without having to mingle with the crowds."

"This south Austin mural located on the corner of Annie and South 1st Street is a popular location for travel photos as well as engagement photos (or just cheesin' out in general). Why not take your photo in front of the mural the next time you..."

"Home to the iconic Greetings From Austin mural, did you know you can actually walk into Roadhouse Relics?. I didn’t until a couple of weeks ago when I met the sweet couple!. They have a small gift shop inside of prints and t-shirts."

"Hippie Hollow is Texas’ only legally recognized clothing-optional public park, welcoming guests 18 years and older. This spot isn’t a beach in the most typical sense, with a rather steep climb down to the water. However, the rocky shoreline is a great place to spread out, sunbathe, and soak in the views, and you can also bring your own inflatables to float near the shore."

"I finally crossed off Hippie Hollow on my things to do in Austin list on my 30th birthday. The rumors are true, it’s a nude park so clothing is optional but you must ask for permission if you want to take photographs. The entrance fee is $15 per vehicle."

"As Texas’ only clothing-optional park, Hippie Hollow is one of the most unique beaches in Austin. Located on the shores of Lake Travis, the park itself is beautiful, and yes, full of nude people–and there’s a decades-long history as to why."

"Definitely one of the better-known beaches in the Austin area, Emma Long Park was once known as City Park and has long been a popular spot for Austin locals to gather and enjoy recreational and relaxing activities at weekends or special occasions. Emma Long Park Beach sits snugly on the banks of Lake Austin and offers some breathtaking views of the local surroundings, as well as being equipped with some useful amenities and facilities like large parking lots and a long pier. Lots of boat traffic flows along this area, so it can be highly enjoyable to simply sit or stroll along the sand and watch the world go by."

"In the heart of Hill Country, just 25 minutes from downtown Austin, Emma Long Metropolitan Park is a lovely little escape from city life. Dig your toes into the sand, build a castle, or go for a dip in the shallow waters of the roped-off swimming area. The calm waves of Lake Austin are perfect for floating by the shores or heading out further in a kayak or canoe."

"This popular park boasts some great beaches in Austin and is fun for a quick picnic or swim. This site also has camping accommodations available for rental. This is ideal for a quick family getaway, it has boating ramps and designated open spaces."

"The park is a long, narrow 76-acre greenbelt along both sides of Shoal Creek. The leash-free area is located in the Pease Park portion of the greenbelt, between 24th and 29th Street. Parts of the trail are made up of large, rough-hewn boulders that can be hazardous to dog paws and human ankles, but most of the trail is simply hard-packed dirt."

"This park located in the heart of Austin offers picturesque views of both the city and natural landscapes. Of course, there is also a mile of off-leash terrain between 24th and 29th streets. While this park offers only trails, it is a great alternative to the traditional fenced-in dog park."

"This hiking spot includes 81 acres filled with scenic trails and a dog park. You can’t go wrong with a stroll through Shoal Creek!. 🗓 Open 24 Hours 📍 2600 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78705"
