Selecting Beer for Your Bar

Looking to add some great local beers to your bar?

Local beer (and brewery!) recommendations from La Pera’s co-founder Raf Rodriguez

From crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs and rich stouts, a variety of beers adds a dynamic touch to your celebration, ensuring there's something for everyone!

Fill your bar with 3-5 options from local breweries. Although the local craft brew market is always expanding we’ve compiled few of Raf’s favorite (and long time Austin) estabilishments and beers below:

St Elmo Brewing

Beer: Carl Kolsch (bright light)


Austin Beerworks

Beers: Fire Eagle Ipa (hoppy with a nice malt backbone), Flavor country Pale (hoppier with citrus crisp & a lighter body), and their Pearsnap Pilsner


512 Brewing

Beers: 512 IPA (hoppy classic!), and their Pecan Porter (An Austin staple)

Live Oak Brewing

HefeWeizen (one if the best hefes ever, in his opinion!)


Real Ale Brewing

Axis IPA (an excellent hazy brew), and their Hans Pils (light & crisp pilsner)
