Brutal Beerworks

Craft Brewery in North Richland Hills -

Brutal Beerworks owners Eric Johnson, Sallie McIntyre, and Jason Perez named their craft brewery after the “brutal” journey towards opening their dream business. Eric had been a passionate homebrewer and Jason is a professional brewer at another brewery. The two met, and with Sallie joining to do the stuff that neither wants to do, they were on their way to building their dream. Or so they thought. The dream took a “brutal” route including application delays due to the government shutdown. Fundraising and many other problems came their way. Finally, on Father’s Day 2019, they opened the brewery to the public and became North Richland Hills’ first brewery. The owners initially came up with a different name for Brutal Beerworks, but in the end, the name seemed fitting. Brutal, yes, but (or is it “and”?) it’s definitely good beer according to initial reviews. On a side note, Eric’s giving away free beer to the first person to give the original name they thought of for the brewery.

Dirty Job Brewing

Craft Brewery in Mansfield -

Dirty Job Brewing’s owners are husband and wife Derek and Lashawn Hubenak, and Derek’s best friend, Justin Watson. They named their brewery after the “dirty work” they did to get the brewery up and running. Fourteen months hence, after a modest start in 2017, the trio set out to expand their capacity in 2018. With a “forgivable loan” from the city of Mansfield, the team’s expanded operations now includes a kitchen. They are also able to produce larger quantities of their award-winning beers. The brewery’s location is in downtown Mansfield and one of its goals is to help in the revitalization of the area. Now that the brewery's founders have done their bit, they invite guests to enjoy the area’s shops, restaurants, and many art installations.

Division Brewing

Craft Brewery in Arlington -

Division Brewing owners Wade Wadlington, his wife Tami, and Sean Cooley probably never thought of it. Wade and Sean were homebrewers who favored different beer styles. Tami, meanwhile, does the marketing and management stuff. Together, they set out to establish and grow the brewery after opening in early 2015, but somehow, it has become more than just a brewery. A couple of years later, it’s been called an “unlikely cultural hub” by a writer for an online magazine. It all started when the group acquired the space that an art and clothing shop vacated in 2017. In its place, they opened a comic book store, a music store selling vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and memorabilia, and a space for live music. Today, the brewery has become a “perfect storm” for music, comics, and beer nerds. Catch up with them by downloading their app!

Fort Brewery & Pizza

Craft Brewery in Fort Worth -

For the owners of Fort Brewery & Pizza, pizzas and beers are two of the best things that bring people together. This is especially true when both are taken together. Thus, it’s important for the owners of the brewery and restaurant to honor their family’s legacy in helping build the Fort Worth community. According to the company’s website, they hope the brewery becomes “an inviting place for the whole community”. With a beer named after a family ancestor and said to be the "first baby born in Fort Worth", the company takes their mission to heart. The brewery actually comes in the heels of two other breweries which occupied its premises. The company changed hands in March 2018, and reopened under its new name in June. They currently serve six beers on tap and a selection of wines from Kent & Co. And then there's the delicious pizza, of course.

Funky Picnic Brewery

Craft Brewery in Fort Worth -

Funky Picnic Brewery & Café founders Samantha Glenn, Collin Zreet, Jenni Hanley, and John Koch believe that a picnic isn’t complete without food and beer. One can’t be more important than the other. This is why they have paired Head Brewer Michael Harper with Chef Josh Rangel. Delicious craft beer paired with amazing appetizers, artisan sandwiches, and desserts. Located in the South Main Village of Fort Worth, the brewery believes in “honoring classic techniques while also experimenting with new styles and terroir-based ingredients”. What this all means is a variety of beers – 16 at last count – that cater to different tastes. Their menu, meanwhile, was carefully designed with a beer pairing in mind. So go ahead – ask them for a recommendation. Not a beer drinker? No problem – they have a selection of wines and hard ciders. There’s even a special kid-friendly menu and non-alcoholic beverages.

Hop and Sting Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Grapevine -

Retaining almost all the former employees of Grapevine, they jumpstarted the brewery’s operations in June 2018. They named their new brewery after the tale concerning a frog and a scorpion. “It’s our nature to brew”, they say, and they will risk everything to brew “high quality, small batch craft ales and lagers”. The brewery features the Pint Club where members get $3 off on their first beer during each visit. Drop by during “Geeks Who Drink” on Wednesdays or Sundays for a fun, trivia-filled time. They are also open to hosting special events at the taproom and the brewery’s grounds.

Owned by Macy Moore and Matt Hill, HopFusion Ale Works celebrates the craft beer experience.

With many passions between them, they came up with the idea of brewing beers for a living in December 2014. After many months of "blood, sweat, and tears", they began distributing their beer creations in the summer of 2016, and opened the taproom in November. In their beer brewing journey, they’ve discovered that “craft beer is… about community and friends”. To this end, they’ve built a strong following for their beers. Their honey vanilla blonde ale “Feisty Blonde” won medals at the 2017 and 2018 U.S. Open Beer Championship, among other award-winning beers.

Rahr and Sons Brewing Co

Craft Brewery in Fort Worth -

Located on the south side of downtown Fort Worth, Rahr and Sons Brewing Company opened its doors in 2004. The Rahr family started making beer in America in 1847 after William and Natalie Rahr immigrated from Rhineland, Germany to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The steadily increasing population of European settlers created a demand for beer of better quality than “the typical kitchen brew” and William knew he was the person to fill the void. Today, Rahr Malting Co. produces and supplies malt and industry-related brewing supplies to roughly “90% of the breweries in the United States.” Inside Rahr and Sons Brewing, you can expect to line up for a pint of beer. After that, feel free to visit the gift shop or find a spot to sit at one of the picnic tables. Rahr and Sons Brewing Co is included in Kim’s 7 Great Take Out Deals in Fort Worth During Covid-19.

Shannon Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Keller -

Shannon Brewing Company is an independent and growing craft brewery located in Keller, Texas that produces an “award-winning portfolio of all-natural beer.” They have great beer that comes from a profound commitment to an old-world brewing process, the best natural ingredients available and a very patient aging process. They crafts all of their beer the way it was done centuries ago — with fire using pure Texas spring water, whole grain, whole flower hops and a whole lotta love. The brewery engineered a one-of-a-kind brewhouse, allowing it to heat its mash and wort with fire, giving its beer a caramelized malt profile. In addition to their great selection of craft beer, Shannon Brewing Company also offers cider, wine, sodas, and lemonade.

Turning Point Beer

Craft Brewery in Bedford -

The owners of Turning Point Beer had another name in mind for their brewery. Luckily, they settled on “Turning Point”, which appropriately describes the different milestones they accomplished to get where they are. These milestones, among others, include two of its founders working for “two of DFW’s most respected craft beer breweries” prior to putting up their own. They also had to win the support of the Bedford community, some of whom opposed the opening of the brewery. Despite the challenges, they finally opened on March 2018. The owners chose the Mid-Cities location because it “is where a lot of people live”. The brewery specializes in New England-style hazy beers, with one publication saying they put “unique spins on underrepresented beers”. The owners hope “to mark a ‘turning point’ for craft beer” in the neighborhood. By the way, you have six seconds to guess what the name of the brewery could have been.

Wild Acre Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Fort Worth -

Located in Fort Worth’s historical Hell’s Half Acre, Wild Acre Brewing Company’s brewery and taproom are surrounded on one side by a wooded area.

The new 3,000 sq ft second location has its own brewing system and restaurant. Expect to find their lineup of quality craft beer such as their Ranch Style Pils and T-Hawk IPA.
