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.

We’ve swung from lows in the 20s to highs in the 70s and back again all in a few shorts days. Even with our unpredictable Texas weather this has been an absurdly crazy week. Lake Travis area schools and businesses across the region shut down Friday. Kids used cardboard boxes as makeshift sleds and scraped together enough ice to build teeny tiny snowmen.
