Are you ready for a second round? This July, we’re back hosting Drink Up, a celebration of beverages and beverage-makers in Austin.

Throughout the month, we’ll highlight some of our favorite drinks and beverage entrepreneurs through curated round-ups, in-depth Q+As, and industry breakdowns.

But wait, there’s more.

We’re also partnering with some lovely local bars, breweries, and other thirst-quenching businesses to offer you discounts and specialty drinks throughout the month.

Keep your eyes peeled on every section of our newsletter — and our social media accounts — to find these deals.

Lastly, we want to hear from you.

Do you want to give a shout out to your favorite local bar? Do you have a great drink recipe you’d like to share? Do you know someone with an amazing story that we should interview? Are you that person yourself?
