The original Texas Craft Brewers Festival is back -- bigger and better than ever. The festival takes place on Saturday, September 24, 2011, from 2 p.m to 8 p.m. at the historic Fiesta Gardens complex in East Austin!
Beer and brewers from across Texas will be on-site for what is anticipated to be the largest annual celebration of craft beer in Texas. This non-profit outdoor festival, produced by the Young Men's Business League and benefiting Austin Sunshine Camps, will feature Texas-brewed beer and ales (as well as non-alcoholic beverages), a commemorative tasting glass, live music, local food vendors, food and beer pairings, and a good time to be had by all at this beautiful venue on the banks of the Colorado River.
