Deep Ellum Brewing Co.

Craft Brewery in Dallas - 14.86 mi

Deep Ellum Brewing Co. has many achievements since it sold its first beer keg in November 11, 2011. It is currently the largest independent North Texas brewery, and Dallas’ first craft brewery. Much like the historic and culturally-significant neighborhood for which it is named, the brewery embodies the “bold, fearless, and unapologetic” spirit that enabled the area to rise and “to refuse to die”. Since the taproom’s opening at 2823 St. Louis Street, the brewery has added a second taproom location in Fort Worth. The Funkytown Fermatorium opened in 2018 at 611 University Drive. The brewery has a lineup of nine year-round beers including the popular Dallas Blonde. They also have several other seasonal beers. Brewery tours are at 1pm only at their Deep Ellum headquarters.

Knowles Brothers Craft Brewing

Craft Brewery in Flower Mound - 15.78 mi

Skott and Bryan Knowles are brothers and both share a passion for craft beers. Together with brother-in-law Chaz, the husband of their sister Kristy, they started homebrewing at Bryan’s kitchen.

They’ve been popping up at different events around North Texas, and letting others sample their brews. Their mission is “to brew a wide range of excellent and innovative craft brews”.

Turning Point Beer

Craft Brewery in Bedford - 18.56 mi

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.

Bankhead Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Rowlett - 19.47 mi

Bankhead Brewing Company is the brainchild of chef Kevin Lefere and brewmaster Ryan Pyle. They were both eager to open their own brewpubs, but didn't feel equipped to operate and manage a successful brewpub on their own. A chance introduction by mutual friends in 2014 eventually blossomed into a partnership. By Spring 2016, they opened Bankhead Brewing Company. The brewery’s namesake is the old Bankhead highway. Built in 1916, the highway ran from Washington, D.C. to San Diego and spanned downtown Rowlett. The pioneering spirit that built the highway reflects the same spirit that inspired its founders to build their own brewery and restaurant. One hundred years later, the pair are serving their award-winning craft beers and delicious, fresh-from-the-wood-burning-oven food in downtown Rowlett.

Brutal Beerworks

Craft Brewery in North Richland Hills - 20.24 mi

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.

Division Brewing

Craft Brewery in Arlington - 20.63 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!

Shannon Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Keller - 21.04 mi

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.

Armadillo Ale Works

Craft Brewery in Denton - 21.42 mi

It was a long road to opening their own brewery for Armadillo Ale Works founders Bobby Mullins and Yianni Arestis. The brewery finally opened its doors on June 1, 2018, but their story starts much earlier. It actually starts in 2010 when the resilient duo won a grant to pursue their dream of brewing their own beers. Since then, they’ve run a successful Kickstarter campaign, had a location deal that went south, and overcame alienating their fans because of a supply disruption. Uniquely, the brewery claims the distinction of having won prestigious industry awards without ever having its own brewing facility. Now settled at their Denton location, they continue to craft their award-winning beers and sodas. They even brew coffee at the taproom. The space is also available for special event venue rentals, with liquid refreshments from the brewery, of course.

Tupps Brewery

Craft Brewery in McKinney - 21.67 mi

The “Tupps” in TUPPS Brewery is Tupper Patnode, its co-founder, head brewer, and half of a two-man partnership. Its other half is co-founder Keith Lewis, a sales and marketing guy. Together, they blend art and science, and sprinkle in some business savvy to run a successful brewery. They start with great beer, which accounts for the artistic side, and use the senses to create, validate, and refine the beers. The scientific side comes in “to ensure quality and consistency in the brewing process”. A brewery is a business, however, and needs business smarts. For TUPPS, that means using management tools to streamline operations or taking in an excellent distribution partner. It seems Keith and Tupper perfected beer brewing. They opened in 2015, and a year later, production grew by 400 percent in total volume. Visit TUPPS at McKinney’s historic Cotton Mill complex and see for yourself. They have free tours every Saturday at 12:30pm.

Denton County Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in Denton - 21.71 mi

Denton County Brewing Company is the brainchild of Seth and Jen Morgan. The husband and wife initially envisioned the brewery as “Denton’s second living room”, where Denton residents can “(hang) out on your couch”. These days, they call it Denton’s “adult playground (with) board games, trivia nights, delicious appetizers, and the coolest bar staff”. The brewery has been serving craft beers “born and brewed in Denton” since 2017. Besides their house brews, they also serve a selection of wine, sake, ciders, and beers from other local breweries. For $1,000, customers can buy a “Biersal”. With reference to German mythical folklore, Biersal members get a free beer for life. The “Augustine – The Extended Experience” at $295, meanwhile, gives members discounts to beers and early access to new beer releases, among other benefits.

Franconia Brewing Co.

Craft Brewery in Fredericksburg - 23.11 mi

Founded by Brewmaster Dennis Wehrmann, Franconia Brewing Co. is a company in McKinney that started operations in 2008. Dennis comes from a long family line of brewmasters. He traces his family’s involvement in beer to a great great grandfather. Grandfather Schaubert owned and operated a brewery in Germany in the 1800s. Dennis also got his start in traditional German brewing practices in Germany until his move to the U.S. in 1999. Under his guidance, Franconia strictly follows the Reinheitsgebot or German Purity Law. They only stray from tradition for special releases. The brewery is also equally known for their “green” brewing practices. The brewery’s eco-friendly facilities include an on-site mini-power plant that works on renewable fuels such as solar and natural gas. 100% of the plant's power requirement comes from these renewable sources. They use 100% natural ingredients and also donate spent mash for conversion to cattle feed by local farmers.
