🍻 Our Story
In the Houston area born and raised, in the game room is where we spent most of our days — chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool, and shootin’ some b-ball in NBA Jam after school.
In 2010, we both found our way to Austin and fell in love with the area’s creativity, energy, and community. A few years later, we met through our mutual friend Chance and started a podcast called “3 Beers In,” celebrating our love for Texas craft beer.
Eventually, drinking other people’s great beer wasn’t enough — we wanted to brew our own, creating beers that are smooth, delicious, and easy to enjoy. After countless experiments and successful batches, we reached our next adventure: the 3rd Level — sharing our passion and beer with the world.
We grew up on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Mario, Sonic, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Back to the Future, just to name a few. Now, we invite you to relive that nostalgia, raise a pint, and nerd out with us at 3rd Level Brewing.
So dust off your Spidey suit, grab your lightsaber, and join the fun.
(Droids welcome.)
