Beginning July 25, Meanwhile Brewing Co. will host its second annual Summer Backyard Barbecue Series benefiting flood relief efforts in Kerr County.

The overview

The Summer Backyard Barbecue Series, hosted in partnership with Uptown Sports Club, will take place at Meanwhile Brewing Co., 3901 Promontory Point Drive, Austin, from 6-10 p.m. each Friday from July 25 to Aug. 15. The series will include four nights of barbecue from local restaurants, special beers from Meanwhile Brewing, and a lineup of live music artists and local vendors.
