Hot on the heels of Austin Restaurant Week, we have the slightly-different Go Texas Week this week, where restaurants put together prix-fixe meals featuring ALL local (to Texas) ingredients. It’s a fun twist, and can still be a really great deal. Speaking of great deals, look for a forthcoming post on FLAVORS of Austin, a similar thing …
Anyway, the list of restaurants is here: http://www.gotexan.org/restaurantroundup/hill-country.html#austin
And then there’s also the unique spin of Go Texas Beer week at Opal Divine’s: $2.50 Texas Beers all week!
Opal Divine’s is going BIG by putting ALL Texas Beers on every tap the week of Sept 28 through Oct 2nd. Michael Parker, owner of the Opal Divine’s restaurant/bars, gave himself a Texas-sized task: to fill every tap with a Texas beer. That’s something like 37 taps! Real Ale of Blanco will have nine offerings, Austin’s own 512 will have seven, and then you’ve got your Live Oak, your Independence and so on. And they’ll be tapping a Texas cask every night at 7pm. $2.50 pints all week, with 5 percent of proceeds going to the Capital Area Food Bank.
Texas Beers on tap from: Live Oak Brewing, 512 Brewing, Independence Brewing, Real Ale Brewing (Blanco, TX), Shiner Beers (Shiner, TX), Lone Star Beer (Ft. Worth, TX)
