Vacancy Brewing

Vacancy Brewing is a South Austin taproom and brewery on St Elmo Road turning out year-round and rotating small-batch beers under head brewer Brent Watson. The taproom pairs its lagers and seasonal releases with a food menu built around Neapolitan pizza and shawarma, a less typical brewery food pairing. The space is set up as a laid-back stop with a shaded patio and pet-friendly seating, closed on Tuesdays and open the rest of the week. It's a destination brewery rather than a bar-crawl stop, worth a dedicated visit rather than a pass-through.
