Infamous Brewing Company Tap Room: A Saturday in Pictures

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 29, 2014

I can’t say enough good things about beer. Benjamin Franklin once said, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” I have a feeling he knew the value of a good ale.

This Saturday I set out with my camera in tow to partake in the festivities happening at Infamous Brewing Company out on Hudson Bend. Saturday their tap room was open for Lake Travis residents to sample their newest brews, as well as a few favorites, such as the bestseller, the Hijack Cream Ale.

Lake Travis’ Newest Tap Room at Infamous Brewing Company

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 23, 2014

There are big things brewing on Hudson Bend. Our friends at Infamous Brewing Company have been working since the first of the year to open their first tap room, complete with a 6-tap bar, seasonal brews and hang out zone.

Since legislation was passed by Rick Perry last June giving permission for breweries to sell beer directly to their customers to consume on site, IBC was interested in securing a space for their very own tap room.

Lake Travis Area Neighborhood Guide: Rough Hollow Lakeway

Written by Todd Hower | December 19, 2013

Nestled in the warm coves of Lake Travis sits one of Lakeway’s newest master-planned communities, Rough Hollow. This waterfront neighborhood which prides itself for embodying the “casual elegance” of lake life, is a perfect place to settle down and enjoy the Lake Travis Lifestyle.

History

The vision of Rough Hollow came from a local developer that knows the Lake Travis area well, Legend Communities. They have teamed up with Crescent Communities, which is based out of Charlotte, NC., to give residents a place where luxury meets adventure with a feel of “roughness” that the landscaping around the lake is known for.

Residents enjoy the breath-taking views of the Texas Hill Country while indulging their love of Lake Travis, the 65-mile reservoir that is the prize of the greater Austin area.

The Official Beer of Lake Travis: Infamous Brewing Company

Written by Mandy Spivey | November 6, 2013

The Austin craft beer scene is exploding. With the abundance of choice beers created in and around the city, don’t forget to try the burgeoning brews that are being bottled in our own backyard.

Located off Hudson Bend at 4602 Weletka Dr. sits Infamous Brewing Company, in a small, unassuming commercial park. But don’t let the quaint Lake vibe fool you—this brewery and its brews really pack a punch.

The story goes back to 2011. Living in Texas but originally from New York, Josh Horowitz was back in NYC and visiting a local bar he used to frequent to watch a football game. Zack Perry, a stranger at the time, was sitting at the same neighborhood bar, and through the matchmaking of their mutual bartender friend, the two met that very afternoon. Josh was homebrewing at the time and Zack was looking to branch off from Wall Street as an entrepreneur. And the idea for the brewery was hatched.

“More business ideas are spawned on Sunday afternoon, but come Monday morning most decide it’s not going to happen,” Zack remarks, reflecting back to the early days. It was that chance meeting that led to their business plans for the brewery.
