Independence Brewing Newsletter

I normally don't do more than one post in a day, but this newsletter from Independence Brewing includes a tweet-up that's happening tonight, so here you go:

Independence Brewing September 13th Update

Howdy Gang,

This is the beginning of a very busy season for us here at the brewery! We have a TON going on, hope to see you all out and about.

Tweet up @opaldivines
Austin City Limits Music Festival is right around the corner and we want you to come celebrate with us. The Austin Beer Guide and the man behind @ACL_craftbeer present the inaugural ACL Craft Beer tweet-up Wednesday, Sept. 14th from 6pm-9pm at Opal Divine Freehouse and Independence will be there serving up some of our finest brews for only $2.50! Come join us as we drink, tweet, and discuss what we love (or hate) about the 3-day ACL Fest happening Sept. 16th - 18th at Zilker Park.

Flying Saucer Cask Night
When packaging a beer, one must always do so with the utmost respect and caution. The only way we could pay our respects to the All Seeing (Eye) PA was to stick it in a cask for one last go this year. We will be serving up this intimidating beast of a brew at the Austin Flying Saucer on Thursday Sept. 15th at 6pm. This bad boy will go quickly, so don’t miss your chance to drink it up before it’s gone!

Brewtopia at Central Market San Antonio
Central Market is hosting its second annual Brewtopia event, providing patrons a chance to meet brewers from across the country. Amy Cartwright will be at the San Antonio Central Market on Friday, September 16, 4-7 pm to sample the latest Stash IPA, Bootlegger Brown Ale, and Austin Amber.

Oklahoma Suks Is Almost Here
Texas football is in full swing, so that means it’s almost time to kick some Sooner butt! The way we like to show our “appreciation” to our neighbors to the north is to name a beer after them. Oklahoma Suks will be out on Monday Sept. 19th, just in time for the Red River Shootout. Remember, these cleverly disguised Austin Amber beers are a fan favorite and will sell quickly once they hit shelves. Don’t miss your chance to show your Texas pride and enjoy an ice cold Oklahoma Suks on game day. Stay tuned to the newsletter for more info on where it will be available.

Brewluminati Night at Zax
The ever mysterious Brewluminati will be at Zax in Austin on Wednesday, Sept. 21st serving up its last batch of Thinkers Ale, All Seeing (Eye) PA, and Gold Deluxe from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Come join us as we uncover the secrets behind these mystic brews once and for all. Get in the know leading up to the event by visiting the Brewluminti blog

Houston Beer Bike Bash
Onion Creek will be putting on an epic bike bash! Bike Raffles, Giveaways and live music! Neil from Independence will be out and will give away a custom Independence Bike!

Houston Big Bite Nite
Experience an epic journey of food as Houston Museum of Natural Science dishes up cuisine from some of Houston’s most prestigious restaurants, and beer from Independence Brewing Co. on Thursday, September 22nd, 6-9pm.

Do you know any fun, good breweries in south western oregon? We are planning a short trip and would like to find one for my husband to go to. Thanks for the time.

FMROMERO: You mean like Eugene? The only one I know of there is Eugene City Brewery, owned by Rogue. Good stuff. Otherwise, I'm afraid my Oregon knowledge is limited to the Portland area. You might try asking my friend Bill at http://www.its-pub-night.com. He's a Portlander, but maybe he's explored that corner of the state. Have fun, it's a beautiful area!
