Seems even more breweries are popping up just like other cities. A friend in CO posted that Oskar Blues plans to open a satellite brewery with tasting room here in Austin and it will be barely over a mile from my house. And very close to it is yet another proposed brewery - and Adelbert’s is just around the corner and Austin Beerworks in close proximity as well as Circle.

Should I buy a passenger van and start beer shuttles?

Don’t forget 4th Tap!

That is the one vaguely mentioned above. (Keep forgetting exact name)

If, and only if, you hire me as a driver.

While I posted it in jest, I do wonder if it might be a viable business.

Maybe I need to find an air B&B connection...

4th Tap is not open yet by their own comments, but did host an event that I suppose might qualify as a soft opening.

Just went to a soft opening at 4th Tap. Official grand opening is set for Nov, 7th.

Only tried the IPA as I have somewhere to go. It was good and it was noted the hops are going to be increased, so potentially even better the next time.
