Local Craft Breweries near Whitt, TX (2)

Edgewise Eight Brewing is “a startup brewery” that started operations in 2018. Founded by Barney Ellis and his two sons, Colt and Clif, the three family members were avid former homebrewers. Between them, they’ve been winning awards for their beers since 2016, including a first place finish at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival. In their website bio, they proclaim that they are “hell bent” on producing the highest quality beers. With the many awards they’ve won, it seems they’re on track. The next step would be to open the brewery’s own taproom to add to their production facility. That just might come soon. In August 2019, the city of Weatherford offered the brewery a downtown space on Weatherford’s North Main Street. For now, get their award-winning beers at bars and pubs around Weatherford and Fort Worth.

John and Candy Townsend are the founders of Walking Beam Brewing Company, a nano brewpub in Bridgeport. Walking Beam Brewing Co crafts a variety of styles including several gluten-free recipes. John experiments with grains like millet due to Candace’s gluten intolerance. They also brew in small quantities so drop by often. To pair with the beers, the pub also serves pizzas and other pub grubs. "The food is good, the beer is cold, and the service is great". Also, "the prices are reasonable". "It is a family-friendly environment but also a good place to meet friends or watch a game and unwind". "The place is immaculate, the background music just right and not too loud, the tv's on the wall showing sports but no loud sports coverage for it did not come across as a sports bar at all". It is "definitely a family-oriented place that everyone in town should experience at least once or come back again".
