Didn't have as much free time as I'd hoped, but hit up Roadmap and Freetail in San Antonio. Both were solid, but not overly memorable, wouldn't go out of my way to go back to either. Got a list of a few others to check out next time: Kuntsler, Second Pitch, and Black Labs.
Made it out to Jester King, which was a pretty fantastic setting - farmhouse setting about 45 minutes outside of Austin, where they grow a lot of their own ingredients, and have a slew of goats to help maintain the land. I did a terrible job of photos, but it was a great place to snag a beer on a perfect weather day. It had been a while since I'd had JK beer, and it wasn't as good as I'd remembered - I think my palate has gotten used to much more aggressive sours, and the JK options were all very light/refreshing (which was nice for the day). I stuck solely to their sour/farmhouse brews, and they were pretty hit or miss, only a couple were notable, which I didn't note, lol. All in all, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
