And since they've initiated this policy, I've been maybe twice. And I've tried to get Brock for a quick chat and boths times was quickly dismissed. I know he's busy running a tasting, but seriously.<br /><br />Independence's scene is strong to very strong, and yes, Rob and Amy were seen showing several different people around their brewery.<br /><br />Free beer good, un-free beer bad.K Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817778226409119983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761540065047261845.post-47923380543396842832009-04-08T22:44:00.000-05:002009-04-08T22:44:00.000-05:00Nice take on free beer.

There is something magical about a free public beer (I'm thinking that the free beer experience shared with one's self wouldn't conjure the same emotional high).<BR/><BR/>Regarding the St. Arnold "tour," there is just something about the fact it *used* to be free that spoils the new format. They stated crowd control as the primary reason for the change, but I can't help but feeling there is a significant financial angle as well.<BR/><BR/>I've visited a lot of breweries across the US... those that share their product for free truly "get it," IMHO.<BR/><BR/>Here is a shameless plug for Independence Brewing (http://www.independencebrewing.com/) in Austin. The entertainment value is equal to or better than that of St. Arnold. Amy and Rob (brewery owners and brewers) are accessible and knowledgeable. Oh yeah, and the beer is free.SirRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964233394272915511noreply@blogger.com
