Circle Third Anniversary

PICTURE ANNIVERSARY GLASS

Circle Third Anniversary

Event: 3rd Anniversary Party for Circle Brewing Location: 2340 West Braker Lane, Suite B Austin, TX 78758 VENUE: This is hosted at the actual brewery, which is in North Austin. Its a medium sized warehouse space that is accessible off Braker itself or Kramer Lane. It's not too hard to find but there is no sign from road as they generally don't host customers there. Each anniversary is on the weekend so there is plenty of "park-where-you-can-fit" spaces.

The entry fee is $15 & this year it includes a special anniversary glass. You also receive a couple drink tokens to net you free pints. There is a bar inside the brewery where drinks are available, an area to wait for a tour & a booth selling merchandise. Outside were a couple food trucks to help pad the belly.

Unfortunately, this year the weather was terrible. It started off overcast but eventually turned into a downpour. Previous years everyone would hang outside in the parking lot & mingle w/ their beers & food. Dogs, lawnchairs & a sort of "tailgate" feel is invoked. Due to the poor weather & lack of space inside, I had to cut my visit short.

Despite the rain, I did get the sweet anniversary glass & get to try some cool beers. I got to try a cask Circle Nightlight and their new "Epic Bock" release. Hopefully Mother Nature cooperates with us next year!

PRO TIP: Everyone queues up for the first bartender after they receive their tokens. Bypass this line & walk into the brewery to find the 3-4 bartenders that are not busy to redeem your tokens.
