Oasis Texas Brewing Company: Session Beers on Lake Travis

Written by Mandy Spivey | June 12, 2014

High atop the third floor patio overlooking scenic Lake Travis sits Oasis Texas Brewing Company, an up-and-coming brewery that is right in our own backyard.

In the same space that Billy’s Brew & Que used to smoke up and serve some of the area’s best barbeque, OTBC now seeks to offer some of the best summer beers to Texans.

The name of the game here is session beer, light yet satisfying brews with a lower alcohol content and plenty of room for a dash of creativity in the brewing process. This is where the brewers step in, each offering their own unique set of brewing abilities to bring life to these new lakeside refreshments.

Twisted X Brewing Company: Tex Mex Beers from the Hill Country

Written by Mandy Spivey | June 11, 2014

There’s a new style of craft beer on the horizon and it’s being brewed right here in the Texas Hill Country.

While the traits of “Tex Mex” can be used to describe countless infamous restaurants in the heart of Texas, there’s only one brewery that can say they serve drinks with a distinctly Tex Mex flair.

Think jalapeno-infused pilsners and lagers aged in locally-sourced tequila barrels and you’ll have a better idea of the sorts of flavors owners Shane Bordeau and Jim Sampson intend to showcase to fellow craft drinkers all over Central Texas.

Hudson's on the Bend: Happy Hour in Lake Travis

Written by Mandy Spivey | June 2, 2014

You gotta love a good happy hour. Indeed, as the old saying goes, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!”

When 5pm rolls around, not only am I usually in need of some rest and downtime, but that is around the time that my late lunch wears off and my hunger begins to rear its ugly head. That’s why the happy hour specials at Hudson’s on the Bend are just so tempting after a day spent shuffling files in front of the computer.

Monday through Friday from 5-7 pm, Hudson’s on the Bend Happy Hour is not something to be missed. It’s a great stop if you’re on your way home (and ready to get out of traffic for a while), or just needing an early evening snack to keep you going.
