'Austin might be known for its live music, but its beer scene is just as vibrant and historic. As early as 1860, German immigrant Johann Schneider started brewing beerout of a saloon on
Congress Avenue, later crafting innovative brew vaults, the first oftheir kind in the city. Proving that Austin taste buds were thirsty for something more dynamic than a Lonestar, the end of
the twentieth century and beginning of the twenty-first saw a huge boom in craft beer production by native Austinites and transplants alike, creating a culture of local beer advocates, home
brewing enthusiasts and innovators that could only come out of Austin. Join the ladies behind hilarious and informative beer blog BitchBeer.org as they explore Austin beer history, developments
and culture; complete with read-along drinking games and local beer pairings'--
