10 Best Breweries in Pflugerville

"They’ve been around a while and have recently revamped their tap room; this is a really fun spot to hang out for a day of drinking with friends!. Stop by the brewery and be sure to taste a flight of beers so you can sample the Core Four as well as the fun seasonal brews. Similar to Hops & Grain, Austin Beerworks beers are available all over Austin, but it’s completely different to taste them fresh in the taproom."

"Every year around the time of these Power Rankings, ABW unpacks their marvelous 2013 GABF gold medal-winning Black Thunder schwarzbier from mothballs, and I'm scandalized because it's this guy's favorite Beerworks seasonal to slam while ripping power metal from the Amazon Echo Dot. It's like, how do they know me?. And that is generally the gist of Austin Beerworks: They know us."

"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."

"Great for summer sippin’ — Blue Owl specializes in the tastiest Sours. A trip to this brewery in Austin, Texas will prove to be quite unique. When you arrive, you purchase a glass — that you can keep — and you get four beers."

"As long as we’re in East Austin, here’s one more for you to check off your list!. Blue Owl Brewing has grown their loyal clientele by, impressively, only brewing kettle sours."

"Spirit Animals Will flock to this sour house To give a big hoot #vandayum"

"Once you’re done at Hops & Grain and Lazarus, walk a few blocks down the street to Zilker Brewing. (They’re all so close to each other and make a great walkable afternoon of drinking beer in East Austin!) Zilker Brewing Co is a small, urban craft brewery that does a great job brewing all of the basics: Marco (a full-bodied IPA), Parks and Rec (a crisp and citrusy Pale Ale), and the Honey Blonde (a light, approachable Blonde Ale). *COVID update: the patio is now open, and beer-to-go is always available, too."

"Operating from a prime location on East Sixth, Zilker Brewing utilizes a 15-barrel brewhouse situated in a casual, yet sleek taproom designed by legendary Dick Clark. The taproom is open from 4 to 10 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, noon to 11 p.m."

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

"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!"

"TAPROOM TEMPORARILY CLOSED. Hops & Grain got their start in 2009, just as the local craft beer scene was really starting to take off. Their original location in East Austin is still going strong, but they’ve also recently opened a second taproom with more space down in San Marcos. Beers tend to the hoppy side, with the occasional lager or stout for good measure."

"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."

"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."

"East Austin Friends and Allies had a beer even before they had a taproom to serve it in; their Noisy Cricket IPA garnered a cult following pretty quickly, so once their space in Springdale Station opened, it was an immediate hit. This sunny spot with big windows and a modern aesthetic is a frequent destination for fans of the Austin Bouldering Project (next door), and for east side dwellers looking to stay a little closer to home. In addition to their core beers, Friends and Allies features six rotating seasonal options on tap, ensuring variety even for regular patrons."

"Known for the cheeky ImPeach beer, this brewery has a large patio, food trucks, and is conveniently located next to Austin Eastciders. The tasting room is open daily."

"All the food is made in-house and by hand, with organic ingredients when possible. We recommend you go bold and try the latest “Off the Map” pie, which varies by the month. Featuring funky, unexpected combinations and ingredients, each month’s offering basically exemplifies Austin: totally weird and totally awesome."

"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 colorful and very unique museum started as a one-story home in the early 1900s and later purchased by James Talbot where he started transforming it into what it has become today. This fantastic home/museum is open for private tours by the owner and is located at 305 W Milton Boldin Creek; you will be transported into different themed rooms and floors and textures and enjoy the many stories Mr. Talbot has related to how his home has transformed into the art is today and why. We strongly suggest you call ahead and book a tour and respect this space since this is a private residence."

"Taverna does its best to embody its namesake—in Italy, a taverna is a neighborhood eatery where customers are more like family or close friends than paying visitors. Austin’s Taverna creates this welcoming atmosphere with rustic touches such as exposed brick interiors and framed pictures that create a mural on its accent wall. The restaurant also has a partially enclosed patio space that extends the charming feel to the outdoors."

"Not only is the food incredible, like the Lobster Omelet and Taverna Hash, but their $2 Mimosas and Bellinis 100% also hit the spot. With a price like that you are sure to have more than just one!"

"A post shared by Austin Tea Xchange Cafe (@austinteaxchangecafe) on Dec 11, 2019 at 4:37am PST. Austin Tea Xchange Cafe is another charming spot I’ve been eyeing longingly on Instagram, as it looks so cozy and charming. Out in the Hill Country Galleria, it’s a tea shop with healthy food options, many of them vegan- or vegetarian-friendly."

"For a fun-filled history and culture lesson second to none you can bring the children to have an adventure at the Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms in Northeast Austin. The Pioneer Farms experience includes walking tours through six themed historic areas which will lead children and their parents through the fascinating history of Texas. You will visit an 1841 Tonkawa Encampment, an 1868 German Immigrant Farm and an 1887 Cotton Planter’s Farm, amongst others."

"Pioneer Farms is a longtime establishment that makes learning about Central Texas fun (really!). That’s because it’s immersive, offers participatory events, and, most important, has a petting zoo. If you don’t make an event there, you can still enjoy its themed historic areas on self-guided walking tours; they include everything from an 1841 Tonkawa encampment to an 1899 rural village."

"Take a step back in time at the Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms in Northeast Austin. Five individual settlements with working docents provide families with hands-on experiences that really show what life was like in the past. The living-history park and museum has new exhibits and displays, historical reenactments and family fun."
