Lazarus Brewing Co., the elite but young East Sixth beermakers whose quietly confident aw-shucks Brock Purdy act has them expanding from a Gen Z neighborhood to a Gen X district, is somewhat surprisingly the first of many future-planned second breweries in town. Not here in Austin, though, where beer tourism continues to surge, new breweries pock the Hill Country and feeder roads, and the most popular breweries in town look toward homes away from home. That's why, in the year 2023, as the American craft beer hype deflates and crashes to earth like a spy balloon at 40,000 feet, Austin is actually expanding its beermaking repertoire coming out of post-pandemic fatigue while other cities are rapidly abridging their small beer industry. It's one of the city's enduring features: turning each local into a craft beer extremist, then getting them to flip people like Barry into flavor zealots while out on holiday. Even my hard-pounding, Bud-steady, stepfather-in-law Barry warms to a handcrafted pint whenever he visits Austin from back home in the hardcore American Rust Belt. It's 2023, which means everybody in America has gotten frisky with at least one craft beer in their lifetime.

Their music is likely to leave you with an urge to do the Watusi, bittersweet thoughts about slow-dancing with your middle school crush, or a nagging feeling that it’s not quite safe to go back into the water. Formed in the spring of 2015, The Garrys use layered 3-part blood harmonies, hazy sun-bleached melodies, classic lo-fi guitar tones, and syncopated surf beats to create a unique “doom-wop” sound, dripping with dark nostalgia and touched by psychedelic dread. ![]() The Garrys are a trio of sisters from the coldest part of the landlocked Canadian prairies, and they make surf music. In partnership with Resound and sponsored in part by SaskMusic. ![]() The Garrys will also be performing at Cheer up Charlies, Austin on Friday, March 18 as part of the M for Montreal x Brooklyn Vegan Showcase day parties (12-7pm, time TBA).Lazarus Brewing day parties will include The Garrys on Thursday, March 17 at 6pm, 1902 East 6th street, Austin. ![]()
