New Brew Releases

This week, Austin’s local breweries are teasing the palates of beer enthusiasts with new offerings in their menu. Blue Owl Brewing is marking the American Craft Beer Week with a special anniversary beer. However, it’s best to check with the online ordering systems as stocks may run out before the weekend.

Further, Zilker Brewing Co. is enticing beer lovers with a German-style pilsner, Pilsgnar, brewed in collaboration with @manana.surf.
