    Anyone know anything about them? Their website seems to not have changed in some time, and yet they continue to advertise in the Austin Beer Guide (even the latest issue said they would be out in Fall 2012).

    Just curious if this brewery is actually happening and when we would see stuff out from them?

    I follow them on FB and they just recently posted that they got tanks (15 bbl) in. So they seem to be moving along.

    I would think that if they were just now getting tanks, they would not still be running an advertisement of Fall 2012...

    As per their Fb, posted on Friday:

    Exciting week at Infamous...
    First of our 15bbl tanks arrived.
    Bought a delivery van.
    Finished up our bottle filler & capper.
    Test fired our burner system.
    Shouldn't be long till we are able to share our brews with the thirsty masses.

    I went to their facebook page after that was posted. It sounds like they are "almost" there...which is good.

    Anybody had a chance to try any of their beer or know anything about what they will be making?

    "Our first planned seasonal will be our Pumpkin Pecan Porter or “Plymouth Massacre,” which we are really excited to have out for the fall,” Perry said."

    So I am guessing that will not be happening.....

    Just what Texas needs... more investment bankers starting breweries. New York City types too at that.

    Speaking of new breweries, what happened to Moonlight Tower? Their website hasn't been updated for almost two years.

    As long as they make good beer.

    It could happen.

    Yea, who cares. Unless their ****s or KKK, if the beer is good, I'll drink it.

    Maybe the bubble has busted for all these new start ups around Austin.

    "Oh wait you have to work your ass off? And you don't get rich? Ahh shit. I'm out."

    They must have thought everything would happen much quicker than it does in real life. It seems like pretty much every brewery says they will be open on day X and it never happens. Some miss by weeks, others by months.
