Austin’s Ginger Man will have to move

Lee at I Love Beer report that Austin’s Ginger Man has lost its lease and will be forced to move, although not necessarily for the next couple of years.

He writes:

I’m all for densifying Downtown and encouraging people to live there instead of the sprawling suburbs, but isn’t part of the deal to also have great ground-floor retail? So why can’t some of that ground floor stuff include great brewpubs/beer bars?

Austin’s first brewpub, Waterloo Brewing, used to be next door. It was forced out (and folded) by escalating downtown real estate prices and was replaced by a new building.
