Beer expert Courtney Strange is a Cicerone certified beer server and bartender at Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden in Austin, TX. Banger’s is not kidding around when it comes to beer. They have a sizable ever-changing list with 104 taps, featuring mainstays and seasonal brews. But what’s a beer without a brat or any sausage for that matter? Lonely. Which is why chef Ted Prater makes an array of sausage choices, along with bun, topping, and sauce options.
Here is Courtney Strange’s guide to drinking around Austin.
