The Live Oak Brewing Company located in Austin, Texas, is a locally owned and operated brewery. The brewery produces four year-round beers (the Pale Ale was recently discontinued in lieu of the IPA) as well as four seasonal (or special release) beers. Live Oak beers are only available on draft in the following Texas cities: Addison, Alpine, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Marathon, San Antonio and San Marcos.

While Live Oak uses industry standard step mashing for most of their beers, they use a more difficult and rarely used old world style of mashing known as decoction mashing for a few of their beers, most notably the Live Oak Pilz.

Live Oak uses large dairy tanks as fermenting vessels instead of the more traditional cylindroconical fermenters.
