Oak Cliff Brewing Co

Craft Brewery in Dallas - 9.94 mi

Located in the heart of Oak Cliff in historical Tyler Station, Oak Cliff Brewing Company is a production brewery and taproom that offers “fresh and high quality craft beers.” The brewery sits in a 110, 000 square-foot industrial space that has been re-purposed into a co-working haven for creatives, artists and, of course, craft brewers. They have an interesting lineup of craft beers including their core beers - “two lagers, a saison and an IPA” which are truly promising! More seasonal offerings are yet to come such as “desserty imperial stout that is brewed with homemade caramel.” Come taste their awesome selection of craft beers and spend time in the biergarten styled taproom with original murals from Jeff Rogers!

The Manhattan Project Beer Company

Craft Brewery in Dallas - 12.69 mi

The Manhattan Project Beer Company’s name is a nod to the scientific way the brewery’s founders create their beers. Of course, the brewery’s name also makes for cool beer names. Consider Particles Collide (a Hazy IPA), Atomic Alliance (a piña colada IPA), and their infamous Bikini Atoll (a Gose). The most fascinating thing about The Manhattan Project Beer Company besides their delicious beers, however, is how the founders upended everyone’s business plan. The founders essentially proved that one didn’t need a taproom or own a brewery to succeed in the brewery business. Their story started with a brew created for a wedding, which led to a win at a homebrewing competition, and finally culminated in their “renting brewing space like a room on Airbnb”. Since those early days in 2016, founders Misty Sanford, Karl Sanford, and Jeremy Brodt have enjoyed a cult-like following. They’re expecting to open their taproom in late 2019.

They’re also the first brewery and taproom “built from the ground up” since the 1800s. The brewery is a veteran-owned family affair. Navy veteran Brent Thompson is Head Brewer, and wife Kat is CEO. Kat’s father, David Stevens, an entrepreneur and also a veteran, heads sales and business development. Kat’s mom Shelley, an interior designer, led the design team for the brewery’s construction.

Today, Outfit Brewing is one of the well known brewery in Dallas that provides great brews that stand out in the world of overplayed IPAs.

Celestial Beerworks

Craft Brewery in Dallas - 15.97 mi

Husband and wife Matt and Molly Reynolds own Celestial Beerworks in DFW. Matt’s work with a restaurant to help them grow their brewing system in 2015 had been gaining a following, and he and his wife thought it was a good time to open their own business. Located at the Medical District, the brewery and taproom combines the things the couple are most passionate about – science, art, space, and beer – especially “hoppy and hazy” beers. A former art teacher, Molly managed the design of their beers’ labels and created most of the murals at the taproom. The road towards opening in late October 2018 was tough. During the process, they also had two children within a span of 15 months and kept their full-time jobs until just months before the opening. The rewards, however, came when four of their beers “trended” in a popular beer app soon after they opened.

Division Brewing

Craft Brewery in Arlington - 17.48 mi

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!
