The Venue

Welcome to The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co. (The ABGB) - a slice of Austin's vibrant culture where craft beer, delicious food, and live music create an unforgettable experience! Nestled in an old-school Austin neighborhood, this brewpub has been delighting locals and visitors alike since 2013.

Founded by a group of friends including Brian "Swifty" Peters, Amos Lowe, Mark Jensen, and Jill and Curt Knobloch, The ABGB was born from a shared love of great beer and music festivals. These high school buddies from Texas would sneak homebrew into Austin City Limits festival, dreaming of one day creating their own beer haven.

The ABGB has earned impressive accolades, including seven Great American Beer Festival medals in five years (six of them gold!) and the title of GABF Large Brewpub of the Year for 2016, 2017, and 2018. Their specialty? Absolutely fantastic lagers that taste more like Munich than Texas!
