The Brewtique crafts a quirky third space for Cedar Park community With 20 years of experience in the beer industry, Scott Smith decided to put his knowledge into practice by opening a bottle shop in Cedar Park. Since its opening in 2019, the business has become a hotspot for locals to expand their palettes while connecting with likeminded peers.
The space highlights the work of local artists. Every six months in the fall and spring, the store’s outdoor mural gets redone by one of the many artists Smith knows through his network. The previous mural designs are all displayed on the walls inside the shop, framed by additional local art, Star Wars references, leftover Halloween decorations and more quirky decor. The impact Throughout his years of ownership, Smith said the best part of operating The Brewtique has been the people. Some customers have created friend- ships at the business and frequent the space for hangouts, Smith said.
The background As customers walk into the space they will be met with eight pinball machines, a lounge, a foosball table and more than 175 varieties of single beers available to be consumed at the shop. In addition to single beers, the shop o ers ready-to-go six-packs, which customers can also customize. The shop showcases 20 to 25 new beers each week, Smith said. “It’s anything from an easy-drinking classic pilsner to... peanut butter and jelly barley-aged stout,” Smith said. “Everybody’s palettes are di erent and everybody likes something di erent, so it gives options.”
