The Brew Exchange

A new bar in Austin has just opened on West 6th street, and it has been anxiously awaited by many!  The Brew Exchange is trying an unusual concept.  Just like the Wall Street stock market, the cost of beer will fluctuate all day long, depending on supply and demand.  The more popular the beer is, the higher the price goes up, and those that aren't being ordered can be as low as $2 dollars!  For those that love staple beers like  Miller and Bud, prices will always stay consistent.


A first of its kind, Brew Exchange's concept has come about from the owners of another unique bar in town, Kung Fu Saloon.


Twitter handle: @72beers
-currently closed, but should be opening up again sometime this week.
