Fun weekend events: Pints for Pups @IndyBrewing and @AusDogAlliance Launch Party @Travaasa_Austin

Independence Brewing Pints For Pups
Join us at Independence Brewing for our 3rd Annual Pints For Pups fundraiser!  This event works a lot like our monthly First Saturday tour and tasting except a large portion of the proceeds will benefit local dog shelters and advocacy groups.  Last year we raised $4,445 dollars for local dog groups and we need your help to raise even more this year!
As always we will have live music, local food vendors and of course your favorite locally hand crafted Independence beer for our guests 21+.  $10 lands you a commemorative glass which we will fill 3 times and the piece of mind that you are helping our four-legged friends across our great city!
