Husband and wife Rob and Amy Cartwright started Independence <strong>Brewing</strong> <strong>Co</strong>. in South<br />

<strong>Austin</strong> in 2004, but were active members of the ATX brewing community long before. Rob<br />

began brewing at <strong>Austin</strong>’s <strong>Co</strong>pper Tank (RIP) in 1994 and after meeting Amy decided to open<br />

the brewery. Prior to opening the brewery the couple embedded themselves in the <strong>Austin</strong> beer<br />

community by putting on the Texas Craft Brewers Festival in 2004 and 2005.<br />

Since opening, Independence has created a local niche for themselves by packaging the<br />

OU Suks bottles every fall for the UT vs. OU game, supplying the Alamo Drafthouse house<br />

beer from 2004-2009, and hosting the largest monthly beer gathering at their first Saturday<br />

tasting and tours.<br />

This year they have been releasing one-off beers in their Brewluminati series. For latest<br />
