Did you know that Austin is home to the world’s first cooperatively-owned brewpub? Well, it is! Enter Black Star Co-op, a worker-managed brewpub owned by more than 3,000 individuals and organizations that's just about 10 minutes from Elan East.
All of the beers brewed at Black Star Co-op go through extensive taste testing by Black Star’s members. Currently, there are more than six drafts available at Black Star Co-op. Available brews include the Inveterate Dockhand, a chocolate oatmeal porter; the High Esteem, a golden beer; and the Recalcitrant Dockhand, a porter with notes of chocolate and coffee. In addition to brews made exclusively the brewpub, a select number of guest drafts are available, too.
Beyond beer, Black Star Co-op promises local food for all guests. The menu is full of dishes like a local cheese board, fish and chips, fried chicken sandwiches, fried jalapenos, salads, grilled cheese sammies, and barbecue tempeh sandwiches.
Note that Black Star Co-op operates under a no tipping policy, something that guests appreciate!
