Raise a Glass: Austin’s Texas Craft Brewers Festival Comes to Fiesta Gardens

When the crisp air of November rolls in, Austin’s beer scene comes alive in its most celebratory form. On Saturday, November 15, 2025, the Texas Craft Brewers Festival will flood Fiesta Gardens in East Austin with flavor, music, and community spirit. Presented by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, this is the largest single-day gathering of independent craft breweries in the state, featuring over 80 Texas brewers and more than 200 individual beers available for sampling. 

For residents of The Anderson, this festival offers a perfect excuse to step into Austin’s vibrant beer culture without venturing far. VIP ticket holders gain entry at noon, getting a head start on the fun, while general admission begins at 2:00 PM. Each ticket includes a commemorative tasting cup and ten sample tickets, which can be redeemed for 3-ounce pours throughout the event. If you want to explore more brews, additional sample ticket bundles will be available for purchase on site. 

The festival runs until 6:30 PM, with last calls for pours at 6:15 PM. During festival hours, the grounds will host food trucks and live music, making it easy to pair a brew with your favorite bites while soaking in the atmosphere. 



As a community living at The Anderson, you have a great base for festival day. It’s easy to leave earlier so you can arrive ahead of the crowd, and you can return home to relax and reflect on your tasting journey. If you and other residents are planning to attend, consider coordinating a meetup before heading in, or making an evening out of it with dinner afterward.
