Trouble Brewing: A deep dive into why most North Austin breweries have shuttered

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:11:02 GMT

AUSTIN (Austin Business Journal) -- More breweries in the North Austin neighborhoods around The Domain have tapped out than remain — the numbers have dwindled from seven to three in about a year.Compare that to 14 breweries in South Austin or the 16 counted in Central Austin.There’s a long list of reasons as to why so many breweries have shuttered in the area around Austin's second downtown, but a lot of the trouble boils down to location and zoning. As site selector Robby Eaves, principal at Commercial Industrial Properties LLC, puts it, it's been “death by a thousand cuts” for brewers. Between over saturation, rising rent prices, high overhead costs, the pandemic and a change in consumer taste, breweries have taken many hits. But The Domain area — east of Mopac, west of I-35 and north of U.S. Highway 183 — has suffered more than others. Read the full story at Austin Business Journal.

Mark Gongloff: Human brains aren’t wired to fight climate change

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:11:02 GMT

Humans are very likely the only species that can imagine very distant futures. Unfortunately, our brains aren’t wired to behave in a way that optimizes those futures. After all, most of us don’t even save enough for retirement. If we have a choice between eating a donut right now and being marginally more healthy later, the donut almost always wins.Individual choices can have broad social implications. If we’re broke in retirement, we’ll rely on public assistance. If we make ourselves sick from eating too many donuts, we’ll be less productive and a drain on health-care resources. But society as a whole is also prone to toxic short-termism. Take climate change. Burning fossil fuels, clear-cutting forests and mass-producing cows serve our immediate needs for lights, farmland and cheeseburgers, but at the cost of ruining the climate for many future generations.How many generations, exactly? Andrew Dessler, director of the Texas Center for Climate Studies a...
