Independence Brewing Co. Poised For International Beer Day

AUSTIN, TX — Finally, a holiday we can get behind! Okay, it's not really an official holiday, but Friday, Aug. 2, is International Beer Day. And we're getting a little emotional just thinking about it with quiet anticipation.

Celebrating this special day will be Independence Brewing Co., one of the longest standing craft-breweries in Central Texas. The brewery at 3913 Todd Lane is observing the day with a specialty flight of beers that incorporates styles from different countries.

The flight includes five different beers for $8:

• Native Texan - German-style pilsner.
• Native Czechxan - Czech-style beer.
• Death and Consolation - Irish Stout.
• Lost Wisdom - Belgium Quadrupel.
• Freak Power - Bevarian Hefeweizen.

Additional flight specials for International Beer Day will include Build Your Own Flight ($10), Brewer’s Pick ($9), and Core Lineup ($8) flights.

We'll drink to that!
