Seize your mug and seize the day in Beerthoven's upcoming collaboration with the voices of Austin's own Inversion Ensemble; The Beer and Now. It's a night of musical mindfulness that invites you to be present and drink up whatever joy, art, beauty, compassion, and love you can find in this moment. The Beer and Now features inspiring and groundbreaking works for choral ensemble that have cemented their place in the current concert repertoire around the world. At the center of this all is the world premiere of Be Drunk by Adrienne Inglis, a setting of the poem Enivrez-vous by Charles Baudelaire commissioned by Beerthoven.
Thanks to our sponsors, we will be serving free warm pastries and cold beer generously provided by Easy Tiger and Lazarus Brewing as well as wine and non-alcoholic beverages--all at no additional cost!
Relax and be yourself while listening to world-class music at the historic Saengerrunde Hall Downtown; home of Austin's largest Oktoberfest as well as the Beerthoven Concert Series.

Parking Info:
Look for parking in the state garages immediately surrounding the Saengerrunde Hall facilities. Parking is also typically free or low-cost at the Texas Capitol Visitors Center, three blocks south of the Saengerrunde on San Jacinto. Alternatively, the Bullock Museum parking garage is typically available.
During most of our events the state garages are open and free of charge (after 6 pm weekdays or all day Sunday). Sometimes there is a parking attendant charging $20-$30, especially when concurrent events take place in the Moody Center.
We cannot guarantee their availability so we would recommend coming early in case you need to use the Capitol Visitors Center garage or find on-street parking. There is a charge for on-street parking.
