Live Oak Brewing Company Live Oak Brewing Company is truly a home-grown Austin enterprise. Two of Austin's own homebrews, Chip McElroy and Brian Peters, literally hand-built the brewery and were the two main brewers, keg washers, delivery persons, and proselytizers. Live Oak has grown since then, but we are still just as passionate about providing delicious old-world style beers that are rarely commercially available. |

Ginny's Printing Ginny’s is an Austin original. We set up shop in 1971 in a small house near UT. As the city has grown, so have we. With ever more services, technologies and people to help you. In 2007, Ginny’s merged with The Lithoprint Company, a longtime commercial printer awarded many “bests.” Now we’re one of the largest printers in Austin, with the most diverse services in town. Whatever you need, we do it all. We’re big (and we’re growing fast), yet we've kept our friendly Austin touch. You is the most important word in our vocabulary. With all the personal attention you get, you’d think we were still in that little house where it all began. |

I Live Here, I Give Here Austin is no doubt a caring community. But we don't act on our charitable values by sharing our financial resources with nonprofit organizations. National studies consistently find Austinites give far less to charitable causes than people in other cities. In fact, Austin is ranked 48th out of the 50 largest cities in the nation in per capita giving. The I Live Here, I Give Here campaign is on a mission to boost local giving by educating fellow Austinites about the needs in our community. |
