It’s patio weather here in San Antonio, and what better way to enjoy the warmer temperatures than with an ice-cold beverage. The nation’s largest beer week — American Craft Beer Week 2024 — is happening here in the Alamo City Monday, May 13 through Sunday, May 19. This week calls on all beer lovers to support small and independent US breweries.

Here is a list of eight different breweries, tap rooms, and brewpubs around the 210 to support.

Back Unturned Brewing Co., 516 Brooklyn Ave.

Home brewing since 2012, owner Ricardo never turned his back on his dreams and opened this brewpub near the Pearl.

Busted Sandal Brewing Company, 7114 Oaklawn Dr.

After nearly tripping over a broken sandal in a brewery parking lot — the name of this brewery was born. Customers can enjoy year-round beers like the Jeffeweizen and the 210 Porter.

Dos Sirenos Brewing, 231 E. Cevallos

Traffic

🚘 Get in, we’re driving down Lower Broadway

Here’s some road construction news to get excited about — Lower Broadway has reopened to two-way traffic and will remain open for the rest of the 2017 Bond project. The updates are scheduled for completion this summer — making commuting around downtown a lot easier.

Let’s take a look at the reopened sections of Broadway:

Broadway from Pecan Street to 4th Street, including the Broadway & Pecan Street + Broadway & 3rd Street intersections — the road in front of Kiki’s Coffee & Spirits.
Broadway from McCullough Avenue to 6th Street, including the intersection of Broadway + McCullough Avenue.

Note: There will be one to two days of rolling closures toward the end of the project while crews pour the final two inches of asphalt. Other remaining construction work includes sidewalks, landscaping, and pavement striping.

Fun fact: The Fiesta parade route crosses Broadway at Brooklyn — the intersection was already open to traffic, but crews will open the sidewalks for parade-watchers in that area.

From the editor

I’m not sure about y’all, but this first weekend of Fiesta absolutely took it out of me and I had the absolute best time. We had a blast meeting with our partners at KENS 5 and doing a Fiesta medal swap.

Still haven’t gotten one of medals? Come see us on Thursday at Hops and Hounds for our final giveaway for 2024.
