The brewery has usually about ten quality beers on tap, with new ones constantly being introduced. They bring back old favorites, too. The menu receives very positive reviews on review sites as well. “Blue cheeseburger was awesome… but the lava fries were by far our favorite!” There's live music on most Fridays and Saturdays, and there's a spacious patio where one can hang out during good weather.

The Cedar Creek Brewery is a multi-awarded brewery and taproom in Seven Points. Named after the lake located in the area, it has come a long way from its humble start. Founded by former home brewer Jim Elliott, the brewery first opened in July 2012. Back then, it made do with second hand equipment. Some equipment had to be repurposed, including those once used in dairy production. Despite its modest, tight budget, the brewery proceeded to win a prestigious 2013 Great American Beer Festival gold medal for its seasonal Belgian Dubbel. Since then, with several other award-winning beers, the brewery has moved to its current location in 2015, quadrupling its original production capacity. The new location includes a large taproom and a café, the Plowboys Café, which serves lunch and dinner. They have a kid’s menu and welcome leashed pets in the outdoor area. Trivia: guess which movie filmed in the premises of the café before the brewery took over?

Stesti means “happiness” in Czech and Stesti Brewing Company hopes you can drink some from their glass or bottle. The brewery was originally called "Dej Bůh Štěstí" Brewing Company, or “God gives happiness”. The phrase is a traditional saying by Czech brewmasters. Owners Dennis and Ana Gore shortened it so it's easier to remember. The small family-owned brewery specializes in Czech-style beers. Master brewer Dennis is a surgeon and professor on most days, and studied his craft in Plzeň, Czech Republic under renowned Czech masters. Wife Ana is the brewery’s business manager. Unlike most breweries, they don't have a taproom. Instead, they only conduct tours and tastings at their beautiful property in Lovelady. They require a two-day advance notice, and there you can sample their flagship beers Pivo Pils and Bohemian Lager, and some seasonal varieties. Otherwise, check your local supermarkets for their bottled beers. Traditionally, Czech lagers come in bottles not cans.

Integrity, community, love – these are the three values True Vine Brewing Company brings to every beer they make. Opened by Ryan Dixon and his wife Traci in 2014, the brewery’s first iteration in a 2,000 sq ft warehouse quickly became too tight. They also only opened once a month. In March 2018, after renovating another dilapidated warehouse, they moved to a 10,000 sq ft location, which allows them to open six days a week. The expanded location also features a kids’ park, a dog park, and space for live entertainment. Besides 15 beers on tap, guests can choose from a selection of wines and ciders. There’s pizza from Sola Bread & Pizza Company, and food trucks, too, from time to time. For beer fans, a Mug Club gives members special privileges.
