Not every beer poured at The League of Extraordinary Brewers is local, but many of them are. Of those local brews, a handful are hyperlocal—that is, they're actually crafted in-house by The League's own Extraordinary Brewers. Try the Brazos Valley or the Nitro Lone Pint for a taste of the super-local suds. If you're interested in Texas beers from elsewhere in the state, consider Rogness or 512 brews. Of course, The League of Extraordinary Brewers also offers a list of craft brews from around the country, too.

So no matter your specific preference, make the quick trip form 3800 Main to The League of Extraordinary Brewers for a sip that suits it. While you drink your beer, nibble on some casual fare, too. The kitchen crafts personal pizzas—order yours topped with local Meyer's Elgin sausage. You can also order a few small plates, maybe a platter of cheese or the beer cheese pretzel.
