First thing to know is that Blue Owl is a sour beer focused brewery, but they do have a decent number of non-sour options these days. If you don't like sour and are going to a brewery so you can try a bunch of different beers- this isn't the place for you. But if you have friends who like sour beers and you aren't a huge fan (me) this place is a perfect in between! I even found a couple sours that I liked in small portions. One star off for having virtually no food options; when I'm hanging out at a bar/brewery it is essential to have at least some good snacks available. The night we went they had frozen mini corn dogs that they heated up in a toaster oven, and hummus with pita chips that was the very end of the bag so they were all broken pieces and a tad stale. That just doesn't cut it for me! Other than that the service was good, the bartender was happy to let us have tastes of beers before we ordered. It's a pretty small place so I imagine it could get pretty packed when busier. Overall I would go back if someone else really wanted to go but not on my own- but that's largely personal preference on the beer selection.

Stop 29, 4/10 for Texas on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing Brewery Race 2025 - not to be missed for sour lovers Among the most unique sour options I've had in a long while. They've taken your standard experiences & elevated them with a magical sour touch. We went in for our 1 and done but ended up adding a flight. It was just THAT good. An excellent experience.

If you love sours, don't miss The Blue Owl. We couldn't decide on one beer, so we had a flight of four and loved all of them. The chocolate dapper Dan was the best! This place had a fun, relaxed vibe and great bartenders. We loved it so much that we made a return visit on day 2 of our trip.

I lived walking distance from Blue Owl for a year but never made it here. Four years later, I finally got to stop by to give them a try. I was very surprised at how big their draft list was as I thought they only did sours. Not sure how new the "BOB" beers are. Cool vibe brewery with board games and a mini library. Will definitely come back to try some other beers.

Blue Owl is such a rad brewery. Primarily a sours place which I normally don't like. BUT they do them right! I've had four different sours here and they've been downright great. The hops POP! Nice spot to unwind and relax whether on the patio, at the indoor bar, or comfy sofa inside. Gotta love a brewery where employees treat you like a friend.

A good quality sour shouldn't necessarily leave you puckering like you just licked a grapefruit. Blue Owl comes through with sour beer that is both creative and not sour for the sake of being sour, which is a good thing. They offer a good variety on tap and while most are predictably fruit based, they do switch it up with a couple odd balls like tea offerings and my personal favorite: the Lunch Box (PB&J sour). Go for a flight, try a bunch. You can't go wrong. Although I didn't partake this time, they also offer standard beer styles under their pseudonym, Bob's. Nice place, super clean and friendly service. I'd go back.

The most well done sour beer in Austin. Tigers Blood remains our favorite throughout the years here, but they always have great other seasonal releases as well. Staff is usually quite helpful and great at explaining the brews to. Ale sure you like your pick. More recently they have started to offer more variety of beers rather than just sours, but they really do sours best. Clean, cute bathrooms and lots of merch for sale. Not a ton of seating inside, but a nice sized patio for the area outside and most of it sis covered and has fans. Relaxed atmosphere, with games for you to use and they have some cozy seating and high tops inside, with a large window viewing the brewing facilities. Parking is a bit confusing for this pale, but there is a shared lot that will validate with code from the local business with the Holly Commons. There is some shaded parking from large trees in joining lots. Lots of painted murals and a very short walk to the front of Blue Owl.

The beer, staff , and atmosphere at blue owl will keep us coming back when in the area. We love the seasonal rotations, some that come back year after year and some that don't. This weekend we got to try the scary slushee series and it did not disappoint! The flavor was sour gummy worms and it was sour and delicious. The texture of this slush was like you were eating a cloud. Its base is their new little boss- yuzu flavor. Can't wait to come back to try the other flavors they brew up!
