Another win for the Austin beer scene! The beers are constantly rotating, lots of new stuff coming out constantly. Loved the vibe and decor of this little tap room. Really had a great atmosphere and very welcoming vibe. Bartender was really funny and knowledgeable, you could see his passion for the beers.

Great place to grab a beer or two. Super fresh place. Great vibe in an upcoming area. Wide range of styles. Everything from Kolch (was tapped out) to an New England style IPA. Solid beers true to style. Glad I was able to come during a slow time and just chill. Dan is the man and watch this place, its about to blow up. read more

These guys, you just have to root for them. I was here one time while in town for vacation. If im back in Austin, im back at Nomadic. Great people with great beer and unsuspecting great food. Peak season is a top tier hazy IPA. Radberry was a great sour that was sweet without being fruit juice. I think it'd satisfy both the tart lovers and Kettle sour seekers. I was saving my appetite for a BBQ heavyweight but after tasting my girlfriend's turkey pesto I totally regret my decision to not get food. The whole thing was a delight. The flavors and texture all come together to deliver one heck of a Sammy. Definitely a destination to stop at! read more

I've been to Nomadic twice and left deeply impressed both times. Nomadic is a brewery that understands that you can't just toss 25 mediocre beers at a guest and hope something sticks. Every beer I've tasted has been robust and complex. Also bringing me back is Maria, my bartender at both my visits. Maria remembers her regulars by name (not just me) and it's obvious that she's passionate about the art of brewing beyond reciting memorized specs. She's the consummate and exceptional brewery bartender. Tremendous service and great recommendations by her and the staff. Great product and great service, and I wish Nomadic nothing but great success. read more

This was a cute place nestled in a corner. I am glad that we stumbled upon this little brewery. We tried a few of the in house beers and really like them all. The place is very open and inviting and lots of seating. It is also dog friendly inside.

This place is fantastic and never disappoints! I dont really call myself a beer person by any means, however I love their drinks and cannot get enough of them. It seems like they have a new brew on the menu every week or so. Its really easy to follow their IG page for the latest updates. I love the atmosphere of this place (picture clean and industrial). During the current pandemic, the patio is open for seating and bonus points for afternoon shade!

As someone who lives in South ATX, I always have to drive up north if I want options for indoor dog friendly breweries. Nomadic is right by Congress and Ben White, which is an awesome location for me. Skull mechanix was my only indoor dog friendly option before (which I also love, but is great to have choices). The guys who own it are great. I love the feel of the place. It's a good size, not huge, but not tiny either. The beers on tap are good. They have a Korean food truck outside of you're hungry.

We went to Nomadic on a quiet weekday night. There were only about 8 people there, so it was very chill. Our bartender was really great and got us set up with a flight. I really enjoyed the Peach Sour. The menu did seem hop heavy to me, which is not really my thing. I was happy to see that they carried Argus cider. The space was bright and clean. They have board games. The restrooms were nice too. There wasn't a food truck when we were there, so unsure if they serve food when there isn't a truck.

Excellent beer, exceedingly cool and friendly staff. The atmosphere is a little sterile inside, but outside is better. It's kinda fun to watch the local tweakers wandering about, as the neighborhood is still "developing" (to be polite). Nomadic has an excellent variety of ales and IPAs of varying hoppiness, each of which is very well-made and distinct. All that's missing from the tap list is a Pilsner, which is a bit disappointing given the Texas heat. Otherwise, it's a solid, off-the-beaten-path brewery that I highly recommend visiting. read more

Great location and space but the beer was nothing special or interesting. In a city with a constantly growing craft brew scene, you really need to step up your game when entering the space. The staff working were all very friendly and informative. We loved that we could come inside with our dog on a hot day. The coffee sounded nice but we were not in the mood for it.

Specialties

Eccentric brewpub specialized in creative small batch beers served in a one of a kind taproom. We’re currently serving beer on our outdoor patio beer garden and to-go! We are laid back, family and dog friendly. I’m addition to serving our own beer, we also have a full coffee bar plus other alcoholic beverage options such as whine and cider.

History

Established in 2019.

Our brewery just opened on May 2019. We are two brothers who always had a dream of opening a business together. Once we both realized our obsession with craft beer, the decision to open a brewery was solidified. After years of planning and hard work, we are open for business! We built the brewery, crafted the beer, and now we are both behind bar pouring the beers. What a Journey this has been!

Meet the Business Owner: Daniel T.

Co-Founder Dan and his brother, Bryce founded Nomadic Beerworks as a way to explore their two favorite passions, travel and beer. Often these lines blurred as they backpacked around the world in their mid twenties. A craft brewery was something that they both had been talking about for ten years before finally sitting down to figure out how to get their dream off of the ground. The brothers bootstrapped this operation in a major way, building all of the interior and exterior fixtures as well as setting up the entire brewing system. Daniel and Bryce are still very active in the business. Dan performs all of the design, marketing, and taproom management. Bryce is the head brewer, cellar man, and production manager. If you come by the brewery, chances are, you’ll run into one of the founding brothers since they basically live at the brewery. If they aren’t in back working on their next big project, they are behind the bar pouring beers and chopping it up with the bar patrons.

Okay - I only had two of their beers ... so I may have been freakishly unlucky. But since there were only 13 beers on the menu - 2 out of 13 both being bottom 1%-ers is not at all an auspicious sign. Yeah, they were both seasonal specials and not Zilker's mainline offerings. So it could be that the mainline offerings are better. I still don't like those odds. The two guilty beers were a) LA Pilsner which tasted like nothing. The bartender told me that this is a beer drinker's beer. Beer that tastes like nothing so it can be consumed in quantity is called "swill" in my book. b) Culture Creature which is a fruity IPA. This tasted more or less like cleaning fluid. * * * Now to be sure, the Zilker Brewery was unlucky on two counts. 1) I was there for a SXSW showcase. They are an outdoor venue - and the night was unseasonably cold. The Zilker Brewery does not control that. 2) It did not help that the first two bands of that showcase stunk up the house so badly I left the the showcase in disgust. (Including the once-good band I had explicitly come to see.) * * * However, as a Yelp reviewer, I do my best to be fair and objective. I ran into the two-bad-beer problem before I hit the freezing-my-ass-off problem and before any of the bands had started playing. So I knew where I stood on the beer before these other distractions emerged. Suffice it to say, I am not coming back here to drink any time soon.

They had a band that was made up of several band members from a school (sorry I don't remember the name of the school) that was killing it on stage. They played all kinds of music and a lot of old rock and roll music. They were so much fun to listen to and watch. This was our first time here, but it for sure won't be our last. I think we found a new hangout!!

These guys have won all kinds of awards for their brews, and I can see why! I only had one, the…read moreHell Yes (Helles), but it was excellent. The beer menu was extensive and probably something for anyone including THC and NA. The beer garden itself is very cool, lots of communal tables. And outside there are picnic tables set up, some covered. There was a food truck there with sausages, not sure if it's permanent or not. Also inside, a huge stage for bands. This place must be a draw on music nights. Highly recommend!

They have a nice large outdoor patio. A slightly quieter upstairs. Service is quick when the line is not packed. The food they offer is mostly Tex mex adjacent.

I found Slackers Brewing by accident since it's in the same strip mall as a very famous BBQ joint,…read moreand I'm glad I stopped by. It's a small local brewery with a really nice community feel. I especially love that it's kid-friendly, which is something you don't always find at breweries. It makes the place feel more relaxed and welcoming. The food is decent, and the beer is delicious. Their beers have that true craft beer taste, which is something I really enjoy. I've tried many of their beers and have brought friends here to hang out as well. My favorite so far is the coffee stout. Overall, Slackers Brewing is a great local spot with good beer, a friendly vibe, and a welcoming atmosphere.

What a local find, this is definitely a place I'd recommend primarily for the ability to have the…read morepatio picnic table seating outside but also the games! I popped in with a few friends and it was a mixture of NA beer, regular beer and mimosas. After pouring the bubbles they asked how much OJ we wanted and that was great to get as much or little. I will saw that the OJ was from a single serve Tropanica juice. lol I mean, I can't impinge the have a run on mimosas. Who knows...it could happen. I found the vending machine very interesting as it held different packets of various items. Legos, Main Character Energy Starter Pack (no clue what's inside), Mystery Socks, Pokemon, etc. Unique for sure. they had a fuzzball table, along with picnic seating inside, a bar area with maybe 10 seats or so and then the brewing equipment then the door out to the patio. Yes, it's a converted parking lot..but hey, what can you do in suburbia? Anyhoo, there were also an inside area for kids and and outside play ground ish, with these different huts. They had various games and we picked up Disturbed Friends. Now this game was definitely 18+ cause these cards were raunchy! OMG too much fun.

I'm not one of those people who updates a review each time I visit the same place. Unless of…read morecourse, it's warranted (ie bad service or better service). This warrants an update because my initial review was nothing more than a couple of sentences and written long after I'd visited multiple times. Brewtorium opened back in 2018 and I've been several times during our twice yearly trips to visit family (prior to relocating to ATX). Ok, so... Going from four stars to five and I'll explain in a minute. First, I want to say how incredible the service is. As are the pours and food. Never once have we had a bad experience. It's a really welcoming spot with stellar beers. I love that they offer a mix of food options from traditional German brewery food to traditional American brewery and pub food. Here is why we're going up a star: during our latest visit, I walked over to our table after ordering and spilled my beer everywhere. Before even getting a sip lol. A staffer immediately came over with towels, cleaning products, and a fresh replacement beer. All without making me feel foolish or embarrassed. Next, we attended an event in the private room and it was perfect. Service continued to be above and beyond. Finally, I'd like to thank the brewmaster and brewers for "The Lost Mambo" and to beg that it stay on regular rotation and not seasonal. Gang, this is the greatest beer!! My absolute favorite. It's an Italian pilsner (only 5.5 abv) w/lemon biscotti. Wow. Wow. Wow. One of my fave breweries. Hands down. Support local. Drink beer...or not (they've got mocktails and n/a beer options).

Great beer, great vibes, great food, fast service…read more We visited recently and had such a good time. While busy, we got through the line incredibly fast, had a lovely interaction with a staff person, and got a seat at a large table with no issue. We ordered a variety of salads (literally so good) and fries as well as flights of beer. I was really impressed with the beer (I had one with electrolytes that was so good)! Definitely a good spot for a group. Great place!

The beer offering isn't huge, but it's curated well enough with good local Austin beers, so everyone is happy. There's a stage outside for live music, which is a must for Austin (bring back the live music capitol!) Pricing is on the lower-average for breweries. Food is very good, not your typical bar food only. They have wood-fired pizza, nachos, burgers, the works. They even have trivia and movie nights!

This place is the trifecta! They have great events, great beers, and great food (especially…read morepizza). Check out the concert series they recently started. Bands like Ghostland Observatory and Die Spitz have performed here for free! They have dance parties. And they have lots of dog events, such as the NUZZL Dog Lovers Dating app launch party! You can bring your dog here any day though. Staff is always very nice too. GPS will take you to the front on Cesar Chavez, but there is plenty of parking in their lot in the back which you can access from 5th!!!
