Independence Brewing

About The Brand

Starting a brewery, the idea sounded crazy to their family and friends back in 2004, but Amy and Rob Cartwright knew what they were up against. They knew the big guys brew millions of barrels a year, on automated equipment worth millions of dollars, with super-sized advertising budgets. But Amy and Rob Cartwright had to brew beer, their own beer. And they had to share it with Texas.

We Currently Stock:

Independence Stach IPA

IPA | ABV: 7

Stash IPA is defined by it's blend of hops. Galaxy for strong citrus and passionfruit; Summit for dankness; Columbus for earthy, spicy notes, and Nugget for a distinct spicy bitterness. Stash IPA is a dank, resinous and enlightening hop trip.

Independence Austin Amber

Amber Ale | ABV: 4.9

Toasty caramel sweetness followed by a nip of American hops for balance. Our classic Amber is smooth and laid-back. No need to pack your bags, just sip back a cold Austin Amber and enjoy.

Independence Convict Hill Stout

Oatmeal Stout | ABV: 8

Convict Hill Stout pours a deep obsidian color with a thick, creamy head. Flaked oats create a rich, creamy body that tempers the bitter roasted barley flavors of this robust, heady ale. The name Convict Hill Stout was inspired by Convict Hill in southwest Austin, where limestone was quarried for the Texas capitol building.

Independence Power & Light

Pale Ale | ABV: 5.5

Brewed with Pale and Pilsen malts, and just the right touch of Cascade hops, Power & Light is a crisp and refreshing take on the American Pale Ale. Power & Light is designed to be very sessionable - it finishes clean and dry with light lingering grapefruity hop notes. Inspired by Austin's iconic, art-deco Seaholm Power Plant, this 2014 Good Food Awards Winner has become a perennial favorite of craft beer drinkers across Texas. Power & Light tastes just right!
