About Pinthouse:

Pinthouse began with six friends, a shared obsession with great beer, and a mission to bottle up the creative, come‑as‑you‑are spirit of Austin. What started as a passion project has grown into a local favorite known for award‑winning, hop‑forward beers and flavor‑packed, handcrafted dishes served in a warm, laid‑back atmosphere.

They’re serious about quality—from the farms that grow their hops and ingredients to the partners who help bring their ideas to life. Pinthouse blends science, agriculture, and pure creativity to brew beers that are bold, innovative, and refreshingly drinkable. While they respect classic styles, they love pushing boundaries, experimenting with new flavors, and collaborating to keep things exciting.

Whether you’re sipping a fan‑favorite IPA or digging into one of their chef‑driven dishes, Pinthouse delivers the perfect mix of craft, community, and Austin energy—one pint (and plate) at a time.
