10 Best Breweries in Round Rock

"North Austin Austin Beerworks keeps coming up with serious winners -- most recently, their Super Awesome Lager took home the 2017 Great American Beer Festival Gold in the light lager category. Their Pearl Snap and Fire Eagle IPA are infinitely drinkable, the kind of beers you recommend to a friend that’s just figuring out they love craft beer. They’ve also significantly leveled up their hosting game with a big, beautiful taproom designed to cater to the masses; you can buy many of their core beers in-store, but the taproom has specialty drafts you can only get onsite."

"While Austin Beerworks has only been around since 2011 their brand is on its way to becoming an iconic part of Austin. Found as both cans and on draft, the popular beer is drinkable yet refined and cheap enough to bring a 6 pack to the pool party without breaking the bank. The year-round selection includes favorites like the Bloodwork Orange IPA, Fire Eagle American IPA, Peacemaker Extra Pale, and Pearl Snap German Pils."

"Austin Beerworks is a true staple of the Austin brewing scene, where you can sample suds right in the middle of the working brewery. Sip one of the canned core four beers (like the Peacemaker ale) or a seasonal brew. Stick around for live music and eats from an on-site food truck.Tap-room patio is open and beer-to-go is available: https://austinbeerworks.square.site/"

"The pastel-clad front yard says it all: inviting and quaint, but never boring. Blue Owl Brewing is a neighborhood staple, pouring sour beers in an a setting that doubles as a hipster-chic gallery, where twenty bucks gets you a “behind-the-tanks” tour and four 12-ounce beers. The brewery has made a name for itself specializing in sour beers, so if that’s not your taste, this isn’t your place."

"Blue Owl Brewing continues to break new ground with their innovative sour-mashed beers.

"Blue Owl Brewing has been dedicated to the craft of sour-mashing your favorite beer styles since 2015!. Just east of downtown Austin, step into Blue Owl’s welcoming Tasting Room or outdoor space to enjoy their sour beer with the fam!"

"One of the youngest breweries on our list, Zilker Brewing has made a big splash in a few short years. Voted “Best Brewery Taproom” by Austin Beer Guide editors, this East 6th Street “Urban Brewery” looks like it’s been there for ages, seamlessly integrated into what used to be a mechanic’s garage. There are plenty of seasonal beers in rotation here, but you can usually find their light, crisp Honey Blonde, bready Marco IPA, and creamy Coffee Milk Stout."

"Another excellent choice for those perfectly hoppy hazy IPAs. They’ve got great mainstays, some superb seasonal beers, and a great atmosphere. They host a lot of fun events too!"

"The best place to find American-Belgo ales Marco Polo, y'all #paleale"

"Hops & Grain should be at the top of your to-visit list in Austin; they’re one of the OG East Austin breweries in town!. These are the beers you’ll probably see at a lot of bars and events around town, but do yourself a favor and get into the brewery to try that Haze Country (double IPA) or Mosaic (America IPA) fresh on tap to experience the true depth of flavor that Hops & Grain is capable of producing. *COVID update: the taproom is open, and beer to-go is available."

"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!"

"Head into the taproom at the sustainable brewery to see what experimental beers (and coffee) are being worked on in the taproom, which is open 10 a.m."

"A pretty undisputed fact is that the folks at Southern Heights use sorcery to make their IPAs. Any brewery who puts out a rotation of smash hits like Evergreen Terrace, It's Probably Awesome, Tahitian Dreamin', Everyday Friday, Friends With Benefits (Zilker collab series), and To the Cloud can only deal in the currency of a warlock, and that, my friends, is pure magic. And as a nod to their willful subjects (us) the brewery canned-and-curbsided every single one of these beers for porch-time fun ..."

"East Austin Southern Heights might be the eastmost brewery that’s still technically in Austin. It’s a little tricky to find, but once you get there, the ping pong table, dog-friendly space, board games, free wifi and rotating brews mean you’ll likely become regular. Breweries can sometimes feel somewhat sterile, but that’s not the case with Southern Heights; their taproom is playfully furnished with bright colors, a funky wall of magazine covers, and the piece de resistance, a VW bus."

"The first time I walked into Southern Heights, I was blown away by how big this craft brewery is!. It’s pretty far out there in East Austin where space is more readily available than on, say, East 6th Street. Southern Heights is an all-around fun place to hang out with your possy of people."

"This gorgeous space is newer to the city but already a favorite with it’s stunning interior, expansive outdoor patio, live music, great happy hour, and wide range of cocktails, beer, and food options. It’s become a must stop for and often will have a wait on weekends. But no worries, even with a wait you can grab a beer and walk around!"

"AboutThis is the newest brewery on this list, but already its a fan favorite!. Mostly because their indoor space and outdoor space are both SO stunning. Also, they offer cocktails and food at their bar, so it’s got something for those that want to not have a beer."

"Bar Food , Burgers ,  Pizza"

"This North Austin brewery is one of the few worker-owned food-and-drink establishments in the city, brewing up beers like the Running Man IPA and the Supernaut PBJ, a peanut butter and blackberry jelly imperial milk stout. The taproom — with both indoor and patio seating — is also home to Southern-Southeast Asian food truck SXSE Food Co. The beers are also available within the Q2 Stadium."

"4th Tap Brewing is located in North Austin and offers a nice family-feel atmosphere as there’s typically a lot of children running around!. On top of the good quality beers available, expect to get started on some board games with the fam!. They also frequently host fun events!"

"Lake Travis brewery Infamousoffers weekly tours and tastings. There are “hoppy hours" with food on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings, along with other events like movie nights. There is plenty of outdoor seating and Infamous encourages guests to bring their own meats for grilling."

"This little downtown Austin brewery won a gold medal at the Great American Beer Fest within their first year of opening!. It’s a seriously stunning brewery in downtown Austin with lots of modern touches. Perfect space to pop in to enjoy a pint while you’re staying in a downtown Austin hotel."

"The women-owned downtown brewery just released its first round of beers from brewer Adam Duley. It also serves other local beers, wine, cider, and kolaches from Batch Craft Beer & Kolaches, and is open daily."

"Sometimes it can be hard to find a good place to let your canine best friend run free and let loose some energy, especially if you live in a city. But at Red Bud Isle, dogs can run free on their own island. This 13 acre recreational space has a walking loop for humans and a whole island of forest, lakeshore, and land for dogs to enjoy."

"Surrounded on three sides by water, Red Bud Isle is an ideal place to let dogs roam without a leash. The 13-acre park is basically one big, wide loop trail with a scrubby forest in the middle. Million-dollar mansions overlook the park, allowing a glimpse into the world of Austin’s rich folk."

"Tucked away on a little island on Lake Austin, Red Bud Isle is mostly known as a leash-free dog park. There’s an open play area just for pups near the park’s entrance. If you're dogless, however, it's also a nice place for an easy hike."
