I lived in Austin for twenty years and watched the city turn from a nice friendly town to a mega-city. I moved to a smaller city fifteen years ago and rarely go into Austin, but when a small group of friends came in from out of town from CA and Dallas, they decided they wanted an Austin Experience. Four of the people are beer drinkers, so I decided to book a tour with Austin Breweries tour, and even though I'm not a beer drinker it was amazing. Shane was friendly and answered all my questions and my friends were blown away by the Breweries. The city has changed, but the vibe hasn't.
