Pegasus City Brewery

Craft Brewery in Dallas - 17.13 mi

Voted "Best Local Brewery" by Dallas Observer, Pegasus City Brewery is an Independent, craft brewery located in the Design District of Dallas, Texas. They are using their space in one of downtown Dallas’ oldest buildings to brew limited-production offerings and test out new recipes alongside a bar area that will stay true to the building’s history. Will Cotten is the Brewmaster, and one of the co-founders at Pegasus City Brewery. He began home brewing in 2011, and his passion for making “great-tasting beer for family and friends” led him to pursue a commercial brewery of his very own. Pegasus City’s ambition is to change the drinking scene downtown without changing much about itself. Small but mighty, their taproom is a place to relax, enjoy a cold brew, and be among friends.

Outfit Brewing

Craft Brewery in Dallas - 17.24 mi

Texas Ale Project

The Manhattan Project Beer Company

Craft Brewery in Dallas - 18.72 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.

Hop and Sting Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Grapevine - 22.60 mi

Hop and Sting Brewing Company is the former Grapevine Craft Brewery and founded by its former brewers Brian Burton and Jon Powell. Between them, both Brian and Jon conceptualized many of Grapevine’s recipes during their time at the brewery. 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.
