Easter egg hunts are for kids, but Easter can hunts are for adults. Experience the adult twist on the classic tradition this Sunday at Austin Beerworks. Search for the 10 Austin Beerworks cans hidden all around the taproom. Each can contain a different prize you’ll claim if you find the egg. Find the “Gold Floaty” or the “Silver Smalltime” to claim the two biggest prizes. The only catch? You can only cash in one egg prize. So, be sure to search and choose wisely! In addition to drinks, you can grab some Sunday brunch at Austin Beerworks food truck, ABW Cantina. Hops on over! Get it? Hops is a type of beer…Austin BEERworks…okay I’ll stop.
