Austin’s craft brew market is booming: Here are 5 breweries to try

Reported by CNBC: 

Kevin Brand graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in mechanical engineering, and in late 2007 left a career in medical devices to start his own craft brewery: 512 Brewing Co. Named after Austin’s area code, the brewery is deeply embedded in the Austin scene.

The 512 brand is self-distributed, only available on draft, and uses organic malted barley as the base for all of their beers. With a strong focus on IPA’s and Porters, they typically offer 5 year-round beers in their tasting room, with 15 seasonal brews and several other limited run beers.

“Our team is comprised of local experts with a keen sense of what good beer tastes like and the desire to make something authentic. When we design a beer, we look at what’s close at hand – pecans, for example, or chilies – and build around them,” Brand told CNBC.
