From April 23-26, the Great Texas Beer Run will take place, a statewide initiative encouraging the purchase of local brews. Sponsored by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, the event invites Texas beer drinkers to “get off the couch, put on your mask and restock your fridge with local brews.”

Several Southwest Austin institutions are official participants in the Great Texas Beer Run, and a range of breweries are offering beer-to-go ordering and drive-thru options.
