This good weather kick we’ve been on has us craving all the patio time we can get. Breweries are one of our favorite places to go when in need of a laidback day spent soaking up rays and sippin’ IPA’s. We’ve called around several breweries in Austin and found the best ones your whole family can accompany you to. All of these places are kid-friendly, spacious, and experts in the brewing game.
