🍻 The Most Craft Beer in Town at the Best Prices

If you're looking for a laid-back spot to grab a bite and watch some sports this weekend, head to 28 Songs Brewhouse + Kitchen. With 23 house-brewed beers on tap, all just $6.50 a pint, it's a haven for beer lovers.

But it’s not just for beer-lovers, as they also carry ciders on tap, as well as wine from local favorite Singing Water Vineyard.

The menu delivers crowd-pleasers like totchos, wings, burgers, and giant pretzels — plus plenty of TVs to keep up with your favorite teams.

Best of all? They're tucked just off the Hill Country Mile on North Main Street, so you get easy in-and-out access without being stuck in the middle of downtown traffic. Just close enough for convenience — just far enough for sanity.

WEEKEND DAY TRIP

Mysteries of Science at the Science Mill 🔍🧪

Just a short drive to Johnson City, the Science Mill is turning science into a mystery worth solving this weekend. Kids and adults can dive into hands-on challenges inspired by Antarctica’s bleeding glacier, black holes, and real-world forensics (yes, there's a "Banana Bandit" to catch).

Bonus: On Monday, meet a forensic anthropologist from Texas State and explore the real science behind CSI.

We spent some time out at the Science Mill recently and have to say: it’s one of the coolest places you can take the kids in the Texas Hill Country. You have to see it to truly understand.

📍 101 S. Lady Bird Lane, Johnson City
🗓️ Saturday–Monday | 10 am–5 pm

SURVEY SAYS 💬

Last week we went to the music at the library amphitheater and had a blast. There was a great turnout, and we can’t wait until the event next month. With that in mind, I’m curious how many of you attended after hearing it from us?

SHOOTERS CANTINA IS YOUR WEEKEND LUNCH SPOT

You Have to See This Gorgeous Property for Yourself 🤩

If you're wondering where to grab lunch this weekend, Shooters Cantina at Joshua Creek Ranch is the ticket.

Shooters Cantina offers casual, chef-prepared meals and a full-service bar, served poolside in a relaxed Hill Country setting. The menu features burgers, brisket nachos, shrimp tacos, wings, salads, and more. No reservations needed.

I’ve personally had the brisket nachos, shrimp tacos, fried okra, and margarita. All were wonderful!

This is truly an experience like nowhere else in town. So will we see you there? 🤔

WE WENT TO BURGER NIGHT LAST NIGHT AT BLACK BOARD BAR-B-Q

I’m not going to lie. I’m still full. I’ll remind you next week, but every Thursday, Black Board Bar-B-Q puts on a live music and burger night, and we finally got to check it out.

I shared this 👇 with my daughter. I don’t even know what to say other than it was insane. Excellent burger with excellent brisket. And MASSIVE. 😱
