Rob and Amy Cartwright embarked on their dream to brew flavorful, delicious beers for the people of Austin in October 2004. Armed with their love of beer, years of brewing experience, an intrepid spirit, and their trusty dog Jasper, they founded Independence Brewing Company. Located in southeast Austin, amongst tech companies and warehouse park entrepreneurs, Independence Brewing is a true reflection of the creative energy and pioneering spirit that makes Austin great. What started with a married couple and their dog, has blossomed into a talented crew who pours their hearts and soul into brewing beers we love to drink and share with friends.
