Thank you, RARE Magazine for featuring us in your October 2009 edition. We are proud to have this nice 2 page spread dedicated to what we are doing here at (512) Brewing, featuring our current line up or brews along with a little tour of how we do things at the brewery.
Just one NOTE: Contrary to what’s listed in Rare, (512) does not add flour or natural preservatives (other than hops) to the beer.
See an electronic version of the mag here:
Coming to you from sunny but chilly Denver, Colorado at the Great American Beer Festival! The entire show looks awesome with not only a room full of the greatest craft brewers on the planet, but lots of activities, open houses and parties.
Our booth location could not be better. As the guests come in the main entrance, we have the first tasting booth. Each booth is about 10×10. At the back, we found kegs of our 5 beers tapped and iced down (The Wit, Pale, IPA, Pecan Porter and the One), ready for all the thirsty beer enthusiast to taste. We are in the “Southwest” area so we are surrounded by brewers from our area of the country.
Roaming the hall is amazing. I have been to a lot of conferences (mostly corporate trade shows) and this is the largest show I have been too. Over 500 brewers here with over 2100 beers to sample. Obviously, more than any one person can taste, if you do the math, but many will try.
Here is a little video from the first day. Hope you like it!
READY FOR DESSERT? Within a day or two of this post, you should be able to go to 2 Amy’s Ice Cream locations in Austin and get a bowl or cone of the NEW (512) Pecan Porter Ice Cream, made with our own (512) Pecan Porter (duh).
THANKS to the great folks at Amy’s for creating this awesome frozen treat. This ice cream is a fantastic and a great use of the Porter. Please try some and let us know what you think!!

Remember that new fermentor we added back in July? We just filled it up with our 1st DOUBLE BATCH of (512) IPA ever. Getting the new tank will allow us to brew 60 barrel double batches of your favorite (512) brews and get them out to your favorite establishment even faster.
Some of you saw the new fermenter at our 1st Anniversary Party and now you can taste what it has to offer.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

Look at all these tap handles, slated for many more locations around Austin. Thanks to your continued support, we’re growing rapidly. If you know of a place that should have (512) or doesn’t have your favorite (512) style, please let us know!
To support all the new accounts and at least 5 beers , more fermentation capacity is required, so we located a good used tank and received it this week! Soon it will be installed and ready for fermenting and aging (512) Beers! 80BBL Uni-tank!
This extra fermentation space will enable us to continue to brew exciting and new seasonals while maintaining the four core (512) beers. Speaking of seasonals…
(512) ONE, our 1st Anniversary Ale, is due to be released at the Anniversary Party. I’ll send out an email with the party and beer details soon…
Thanks for all the support and please keep drinking local draft!

The (512) Spring Open House was another great party with a huge turn out!
See some photos HERE(John Knox) or HERE(bassist, Debra Parr) .
We changed our beer serving strategy to shorten the lines, although it sounds like the line was still too long and slow. The next event will be better…..I promise. As Chip told me once, “you just need to do more of these”… and we will!
Thanks so much to all my volunteers and to everyone who made it out to try the (512) ALT. Look for the ALT for a few more weeks around town!!
Also, a HUGE thanks to Danny Fast Fingers and his band. They played a couple of great sets as the first band (of many to come) to play at (512). Thanks, Danny. Check HERE to see where Danny will be playing next!
Look for a summer event of some sort. Our anniversary is coming up in July and we’re hoping to brew something very special, most likely labeled (512) ONE, to commemorate our first year of brewing and selling in Austin!

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
