Frisky Restaurant and Brewing

Craft Brewery in Odessa - 106.29 mi

Lee and Lisa Friske, the husband and wife team behind Frisky Restaurant and Brewing, loved beers. They also had a dream. They used to run a successful welding business but had always wanted to chase their dream of opening a brewpub. And chase it they did. After selling the welding business, they bought a 3-acre property and set to work on their dream. Lee enrolled at a brewing institute, and Lisa took culinary classes. Meanwhile, both started joining brewing competitions and took home medals. They finally opened their dream brewpub on August 2018. Lee actually “loved beer before he loved beer”. He used to collect beer cans as a kid and became fascinated with the beer can designs. Their brewpub has earned good reviews for its beautiful design.

Tall City Brewing

Craft Brewery in Midland - 118.78 mi

Tall City Brewing is one of the newest additions to the Texas brewery landscape.

The brewery's owners are Jeff Thomas, Erich Schmidt, Nicholas Schmidt, Jarrod Sparks, Josh Sparks, and master brewer Jack Sparks. The owners promise “an amazing craft beer experience” at their taproom. There will be "something for everyone" including wine, carbonated mineral water, and cold brewed coffee for those who prefer other beverages. Currently, the taproom opens from Thursdays to Sundays (hours vary). They launched with five beers including Five Hour Drive Honey Blonde Ale and Haboob Hefeweizen.

Eccentric Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Midland - 119.11 mi

Eccentric Brewing Company got its start after winning a $72,000 grant. Awarded by the Midland Entrepreneurial Challenge, its owners Jamie Ehl and Aaron Pachlhofer soon began local operations in May 2018. The brewery is credited to be the first craft beer brewed in Midland. The brewery's creations are now available in about 14 locations around Midland, but the pair is still finding their footing in the Texas’ craft beer industry. With twelve craft beer creations so far, they have yet to establish their own taproom. The brewery started distributing their beers on July 20, 2018 at Midland Beer Garden, whose owner also helped clinch the grant for them. They describe their first brew, Eccentric No. 1, as “a bold, amber ale (showcasing) the classic flavors that have made Belgian beers famous”. Eccentric #2, meanwhile, is “a Belgian pale ale that begins with aromas of tropical fruit”.

El Paso Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in El Paso - 167.59 mi

The trivia behind El Paso Brewing Company is quite interesting. According to a feature on the brewery, only one of the five owners drinks beer. That would be Carlos Guzman, the brewer. Carlos and his business partner Larry Walter originally set out to build a biodiesel plant, and Carlos brought in his uncle Jorge for Jorge's engineering background. Evelyn Vigo met Norma Reed and the other owners because she worked next door to the biodiesel plant. So it wasn’t beer that brought these friends together. It was biodiesel! Biodiesel, and their love and pride for El Paso. This is why the brewery takes its name from the city that binds them together. Coincidentally, it’s also the name of an old brewing company that existed in the city at the early part of the 20^th century. With eight year-round beers and a few seasonal offerings, the brewery aims to “become a recognized regional brewery”.

DeadBeach Brewery

Craft Brewery in El Paso - 168.13 mi

Gabe Montoya, Jason Hunt, and Justin Ordonez, the three owners of DeadBeach Brewery, are all local El Paso natives.

The trio formally opened the brewery to the public in November 2015. Currently, they have about a dozen beers on tap, which they rotate constantly. They specialize in “big, bold beers (that) doesn’t hold back on the flavor”. The brewery’s beers are available in “over 300 taps across the city”. Appropriately enough, their slogan is “(beers) for El Paso, by El Paso”. Production is currently limited mostly for the El Paso beer market. Eventually, though, they hope to be able to distribute their beers nationwide. DeadBeach Brewery is listed as one of the 4 Best El Paso Breweries for Local Beer and Food.

Aurellia’s Bottle Shop and Brewhouse

Craft Brewery in El Paso - 175.22 mi

The ultramodern brewing system in Aurellia’s Bottle Shop and Brewhouse gave it its name. Quite the mouthful, AURELLIA is actually an acronym that uses an artificial intelligence-based system. It makes the brewing process energy efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. The electric system also helps owner Justin Gibson overcome his physical limitations, a result of an accident caused by a drunk driver. To reduce Aurellia's carbon footprint further, there are plans to maximize the use of solar energy. Justin has worked in different aspects of the beer industry. He was an avid home-brewer, and worked in "brewing, brewery operations, bartending, front of house management, distribution, sales, brand acquisitions, and logistics. Aurellia’s just opened in March 2019, and he says he just works there because it's really AURELLIA who runs the place. Eventually, Justin hopes Aurellia's becomes a one-stop shop that offers “quality, variety, (and) a truly unique experience”. Aurellia's Bottle Shop and Brewhouse is listed as one of the 4 Best El Paso Breweries for Local Beer and Food. Check out the link to read more!

Zero One Ale House

Craft Brewery in San Angelo - 199.49 mi

Erik Zobel started out in the food industry and earned an associate’s degree in hospitality management and food service. Eventually, he earned his degree in architecture and went on to become a licensed architect. When the financial crisis of 2007 struck, however, he decided he needed a steadier source of income. The alternative he thought of was a brewpub. In March 2012, Erik opened Zero One Ale House. In the beginning, however, there was only enough money to build the restaurant. The brewery operations followed in 2015. Today, Zero One Ale House rotates a selection of 3 to 6 beers at their brewery and restaurant, with plans to add more varieties in the future. Try their Thai Red Curry, a house specialty. This gets high points on social media sites. Their servers can also suggest other food and beer pairings for you.
