Independence Brewing Company is throwing their last First Saturday event this weekend (5/2) after nearly 22 years of operation.

First Saturday is a throwback to the days before breweries could sell direct to the public. They could legally offer tours and tastings. $10 for 3 pints?? How quaint.

Sad to see one of the OGs close. I definitely consider Independence my gateway to the early Texas craft brewing scene. Fortunately for fans of Austin Amber and Stash IPA the brand and products were acquired by Altstadt.
