Beat the Austin Heat

The Texas heat can be intense, but Austin has plenty of activities and cold local craft beer to keep you cool during the hot summer months. Discover how you can beat the heat on a City Brew Tour.

Top Tips for Staying Cool in Austin

	Hydrate Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. This is especially important during the hot Texas summers when the risk of dehydration is high. Did you know that local breweries usually serve only the highest quality H2O? The water used in brewing is meticulously filtered and purified, ensuring it meets the highest standards of cleanliness and taste.
	Wear Cool Clothes While you’ll need closed-toed shoes to explore local brewhouses, comfortable, light-colored, and loose clothing performs best in the heat. Shorts and T-shirts are your friends. Consider wearing a hat and sunglasses to shade your face, neck, and shoulders.
	Enjoy Summer Brews We’ll try several beer styles on our tour, but we lean towards lighter beers in the summer. While stouts and IPAs are great any time, nothing beats a crisp, light beer on a hot day.
	Take It Slow Slow down and enjoy the city. Take your time and don’t overexert yourself in the Texas heat.
	Be an Early Bird Plan outdoor activities early in the day and reserve the hottest part of the day for air-conditioned activities. Let City Brew Tours drive you to some of the best Central Texas watering holes in our air-conditioned transportation.
	Eat Light Meals and Snacks Eat light meals or snacks to avoid feeling sluggish in the heat. Fresh salads, fruit, and our local pretzel snacks are great ways to get a nice boost of energy without bogging you down.
	Apply Sunscreen Sunscreen is your best friend. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer.
