512 Brewing Company

Stopped to enjoy the weather and so glad we did. It was the kind of Texas day meant for beer on a patio. 512 doesn't disappoint. Cary was pouring, there were (I think) 5 brews on tap. We ordered an Amber and a hazy juicy ipa after sampling a couple others as well. Cary then poured me a taste of something that I didn't know existed! He had just pulled the last keg out that morning, and I'm so glad we were there to take part in it! After finishing our beer we grabbed another as well as a 4 pack of double barrel pecan to take home. We may skip back over today if the weather is the same! Outdoor area has limited tables and some standing whiskey barrels for table tops. Dog friendly to boot! Great place all around .

My gateway brewery when I moved to Austin from Houston , I'll forever have a soft spot in my heart for their flagship ipa. Taproom is absolutely no frills but then I don't need a fancy setting to drink a goddam beer. Give me my pour, my glass, a place to sit and I'm set. Only bad part for me is now I live in San Antonio so I can't go as often as I want to.

Stopped in here randomly on Saturday! Wish I would've gotten the guys name, but he was so nice and welcoming! We pulled into the lot 5 minutes before 1pm and he was immediately waving his arms to us telling us the taproom was open. Just a couple taps, we only had one beer each, which was delicious. It was super cool to walk around the brewery and see everything on a MUCH larger scale (we are homebrewers)! Thanks 512 for the hospitality!

This is def not an usual brewery you've been to but it's def one of the memorable breweries in my mind. They probably dont have a tap room as you expect. They dont have live music, they dont have a garden which your kid can run around. BUT the staff is super friendly, the beer is tasty, not that many selections but all are top notches. If it's what all you are looking for what a brewery should be, come and you will never regret.It's one of the kind of a brewery in Austin.

Not to be confused with 069 TNA which is what Barbi's brewing.We're not a fan of breweries and this is no exception. I think breweries in general are overrated and again this is no exception.Having said that this one is one of the better ones we've ever been to in Austin and their products are available all over Texas and are much better than some of the rifles. I mean rivals, but then again this is Texas, so maybe I mean rifles.

Came here on St. Paddy's Day to get some BBQ from Lotz of BBQ (deaf owned) and ordered some beers to go. This place is awesome. The food / beers were fantastic. I'd recommend the Hazy IPA. Wish they had a year round tap room.

Cool brewery with a huge selection of beers, but nothing extraordinary. The brewery does not have an actual taproom open regularly, but instead is open only Saturdays from 12-4 pm in their parking lot. I went during their anniversary event and it was $25 for a glass that you keep and 6 8 oz pours of your choice (you can do 12 4 oz pours instead). Majority of the pours turned out to be larger than 8 oz so you can really get trashed here. They had 44 beers on tap. Pretty insane. Unfortunately, none of the beers were that great. They had like 4 food trucks and a lot of porta potties (lines can get long). Overall, this was a quantity over quality brewery. We had 4 people in our group and none of us were impressed, although, we are from California and are spoiled by all of the good breweries out here. If you just want to get the job done and get trashed on a Saturday afternoon, this is your spot. If your a real beer lover, you may be disappointed

I think all of the yelper complaints are the same: why not open more than one day a week? And for more than 4 hours at a time?! Maybe it's an exclusivity thing...it sure works. If you are visiting Austin and have a free Saturday early afternoon, be sure to hit up 512 for your beer desires. You can take your tasting cup home as a souvenir. They have outdoor seating, merch for purch, and are kid and dog-friendly. Double wow! My boyfriend and I made it to 512 at the tail end of their Saturday hours, but we were able to share a tasting for one. That was perfect because it was the safest way to drink, play some ladderball (it was my first time playing that!), and drive to dinner afterwards.They have clean restrooms and an easy way to purchase your guitar picks as proof of beer-drinking capability. When you park (plenty of parking btw), walk first to the door on the tasting room's left. You can purchase your tasting power, then head over to the main room for the adventure. When we went, there was basically one taptender pouring while a barback was helping him out with the glasses and stuff. It seemed like a lot of regulars were there, mostly 30+ in age, but all having a great time socializing. There wasn't a food truck there, nor any food on site, so bring your own or head out to eat afterwards.

Many tables scattered around for outdoor covid-friendly seating, dog friendly! They weren't serving from tap when we were there in Jan 2021, but you could get a growler or a 6 pack (mix 6 pack for $10) and drink it outside! They give you glasses. Bring a bottle opener!

Stopped by and didn't know they were closed. The owner came out and let us sample some beer since we drove so far. Everything we tried was amazing and we will be back on a Saturday when they are open! Highly recommended!
