First-time visitors to St. Elmo Brewing Company can’t be blamed if they believe their GPS is leading them astray. Even Uber drivers have double-checked with the Austin brewery’s cofounder, Bryan Winslow, on the destination as they rolled past manufacturing businesses, metal-recycling plants, car dealerships, and repair shops.
“People are really surprised when they get here,” says Winslow, who also serves as a brewer.
What thirsty patrons find when they do arrive at the courtyard entrance of St. Elmo is a small brewery that feels like an oasis and is designed to be a neighborhood spot for the residents of this underserved brewery neighborhood, not too far from the airport.
