Zilker Brewing Company and Taproom

Our roots trace back to 2008 when Austin locals and high school comrades Patrick and Forrest Clark and Marco Rodriguez turned their shared passion for brewing into a garage hobby. Using a homemade setup, the trio honed their craft after work and on weekends, driven by a love for the art and science of brewing. Their dedication paid off with multiple award-winning beers over the years.In 2015, our three founders took the leap and decided to go all-in on their dream career. They resigned from their day jobs and upgraded their operation from the garage to a proper brewery and taproom in East Austin. Since then, our team has grown as we continue striving to brew exceptional beer, build community, and champion craft beer culture.
