The Brewtique — Restaurant in Cedar Park

LOVE the Brewtique!! They have so many craft beers from all over. Many that I haven’t seen anywhere else around town. It’s so much fun to browse all the brews they have in stock. Recently I was on a big Hefeweizen kick and everywhere we went had all the same brewers and beers. The Brewtique had such a good selection of Hefes, wits, and wheats to choose from to satisfy my taste buds.

I also love tart, hoppy, and hazy IPAs. The clerk (she’s super nice and helpful but I can’t remember her name) pointed me to what is my new favorite, Tripping Animals Hippo Hooray, a 10% ABV Triple India Pale Ale. It’s hazy, hoppy, and citrusey.

I also just tried Equilibrium Brewery’s Major Science 8.5% Imperial IPA - amazing!!! Completely opaque, smooth, hoppy and creamy grapefruit-forward IPA. Not something I could have more than one of at a sitting, but it’s my new dessert beer.

They have a food truck there, lots of different weekly activities, and scheduled events. You can hang out, play a board game or pinball, and have a chill time trying some awesome brews. Or you can stop in, pick up your supply and head out. Either way, if you like beer,...

This is like a neighborhood mini mart except instead of junk food and paraphernalia- you just have a HUGE selection of craft beers and some mainstream options. There are even a few wine bottles hidden in a corner.

How it works: walk in and buy your beer in singles, to go packs, or make your own to go pack. If you want to enjoy a single in house and hang out with some other cool folks- they'll pop it for you for a small corking fee. If you don't know what you want- tell them what you usually drink. They'll find you something amazing. It's a great way to try new pours without committing to a pack.

You can start a tab and keep the party going. If the food truck is there (Rogues) you should 100% get the pot roast pierogies- you can thank me later.

There are some free arcade games, board games, televisions and foos ball. There's a covered patio if Texas weather allows it and corn hole. Follow them for events like indoor comedy shows, mural painting, etc.

Super clean bathrooms and free water to stay hydrated so you can drink more beer. Super friendly and...

If you haven't been to The Brewtique in Cedar Park, you definitely should check it out.

Anytime you stop by, you'll meet either the owner or his wife and they are both nice and very helpful. You can pretty much buy anything they have in singles and they always have their inventory listed online along with the untapped rating for each beer, which I find very useful. They have a solid selection of local stuff and occasionally some more rare stuff as well. If you're immunocompromised, you can call your order in and they'll bring it to your car; they also have a very sanitary setup inside and require masks (of course) and make everyone use the hand sanitizer when you come in. We've been there about 5 times mixing that in with buying direct from breweries but I really love the diversity you can get while supporting local at the...
