Blue Owl Brewing

Cool spot! They do have tasty non sour beers! Loved the East Side Juicy IPA. Cheers.

Great service. Awesome selection. I drove an hour to get there (because I'm from out of town) & it was absolutely worth it.

Edit two years later: even more amazing with the addition of non-sours and NA options! Y’all are killing it. Simply amazing. The people are awesome, the concept is wonderful, and the drinks are outstanding.

Friendly staff. Good selection of beer, most is all sour based although they have a few non-sours. Everything had pretty good taste and the tartness/sour didn't overpower or lose any of the other flavors. The Kokomo Royale is delicious! Flights, pours, cans, and growlers available. Spiced apple fizz was pretty good, nice, easy light cider basically. Small outdoor seating available. They have a small menu of bites. Also periodic events are scheduled.

There are no variety of beers, lot of Sour beers. If you are into sour this might be the place for you. I wont return back here.

The only reason why I am giving it a star is because I love sours and the drinks I had were amazing. However the service was terrible. It was Christmas Eve when my friend and I stopped by. There was 1 employee working and 2 men sitting at the bar chatting. My friend and I were very polite and respectful but we didn’t get the same treatment from the girl working that evening. She was very rude and dismissive and it was clear that she was unhappy that my friend and I were there. It was very uncomfortable to be there that my friend and I decided to sit in the outdoor patio to avoid the awkwardness and the rude behaviour and to make it an even worse experience the employee closed the door to the patio without letting us know that she was closing it leaving my friend and I just staring at each other. Never have we ever experienced such behaviour from an employee at an establishment. We were visiting from out of town and visiting this place was on the top of our list, but just that employees behaviour towards us made it so that we regretted coming by.

Super chill vibes, friendly service, knowledgeable about their products and what to recommend based on preferences. P.S. They keep cold 6 packs in the walk-in!

Nice brewery with plenty of options on tap and a cozy outdoor patio that is also dog friendly!

The only reason I am giving this place any stars is because the beers were exceptional (especially if you love sours). However, the service here was trash and the lady with the tattoos and colored hair working behind the counter was insanely rude. My friend and I decided to visit this brewery on Christmas Eve since it was one of the few spots opened till late that day in the city. Once we arrived, we noticed a few other guys at the brewery. We asked the lady at the counter if it was okay where we parked, as we did not want our car to get towed or ticketed, however she made us feel incompetent about not knowing for sure where to park. We are from out of town and simply wanted to confirm. I also had asked her between a few options which beer she recommends, and she gave me a disgruntled look and said she likes all the beers there. Very helpful... My friend and I placed another order for a beer and charcuterie board after our first round of beers. The lady seemed really angry at us for placing another order. Not sure why. I did not think there was a limit to how much we can order, especially given we had only placed one beer order each the first round. The brewery wasn't even busy. By the time we placed the second order, there were only 2 guys at the brewery, who she seemed to be a lot kinder/friendlier to and laughing along with. My friend and I were sitting outside, but whenever we came inside, the lady seemed to have an attitude and did not answer our questions/made us feel unwelcome. My friend took her second beer order to the outside seating area, and as I was about to bring my beer order and charcuterie board out, the waitress rudely said "Merry Christmas," outright rolled her eyes at me, and ran to close the outside patio door where I was about to head out from with my beer and food. So, I had to use the other door to exit. Such a weird turn of events. Even my friend who was outside was wondering why the lady quickly ran to the door to close it as I was trying to head out through there. It was so odd, and I truly did not understand the hostility the lady had towards my friend and I. It seemed like the lady did not want us to return inside (probably because she was too busy talking to those 2 guys at the counter, and did not want us "interrupting"). Really not sure what she had against us. Also, the charcuterie board she made us barely had any cheese in it, and she skimped on the other items on the board as well. She really had it out for us for no reason. I guess the lady was angry about working a shift on Christmas Eve... I don't know, but that is not an excuse. We did not feel welcomed at the brewery, and the lady really made us feel like she was obliging us. We were being nothing but kind and respectful and were really excited to visit this brewery as we love sour beers. The service made this experience unenjoyable and we are not sure if we will be comfortable returning again the next time we visit Austin.
