Austin TX Suggestions?

[808brew]

I am heading to Austin TX (North Central near the Arboretum) this Friday and Saturday to visit my Uncle. Any suggestions for a great brew pub that would have good local beer and or a great market for picking some up? and... how about the best BBQ in Austin?

There are some who will tell you the best BBQ in Austin is actually in Driftwood, about an hour south of the Arboretum. If you're going to be in North Austin, North by Northwest is a nice upscale brew pub with awesome food that's only a mile or so away. Uncle Billy's Brew n Cue is in South Austin, near Zilker Park. Good barbecue, good beers, and a nice selection of local beers.

The Draught House 15-20 minutes from the Arboretum.

The Gingerman downtown.

Haven't been to Gingerman yet, but I'm enjoyed my trip to the Flying Saucer on North Lamar.
