Austin currently has 27 breweries (um, what time is it?…maybe 28 now) within the city limits. Reaching beyond the city limits, there are well over a dozen more. Even though cities like Portland have far more, “beer tourism” has become a thing. And, because bikes and beers are also a thing, touring breweries by bike is a natural result.
In Austin, there are three commercial bike tour companies offering brewery tours. Austin Bike Tours and Rentals has a “Texas Craft Beer Tour” focusing on the central city. Mike’s Bikes offers a “Brews Cruise Sunset Tour“. And, Bike and Brew ATX focuses solely on brewery tours with four different tours around town and the Hill Country.
Taking a city bike tour is always a good idea, beer or not. And, if you like finding your own way, BeenThereBikeTours has a self-guided tour of the Eastside beer scene.
