Breweries

Breweries and brewpubs are an important amenity and business in Austin. They generate much sales tax revenue and sought-after by both locals and tourists.

The Problem

A conditional use permit (CUP) is required if brewery/brewpub closer than 540’ from a SFH.

CodeNEXT unnecessarily limits micro-breweries/distilleries/wineries.
