Chimera Brewing Company
It’s impossible to hang out at Chimera Brewing Company and be unhappy. The decor is humorous and bizarre; the bartenders are enthusiastic and quick with a good joke. They know beer, they love beer, and they want you to love it too. Chimera makes its own brews – try the Püssensmasha Double IPA, the Roman Empire ESB brewed with Myrtle leaves, or the 1011 Red Ale (ask the bartender to tell you the entertaining story behind its binary name). They also serve up a rotating selection of guest beers and a menu of house-made pizza and sandwiches.
The Bearded Lady
This tavern is built inside an old craftsman house and has arguably one of the best patios in Fort Worth. They offer a wide selection of craft beer – 30 rotating taps and more than 100 cans and bottles. Also found here is a menu of award-winning pub food. Stop by and talk to local brewers during a ‘Meet the Brewer’ happy hour, or spend a lazy afternoon people-watching on the sunny patio. Alternatively, soak up the comfortable atmosphere over weekend brunch.
BREWED
Brewed is a cozy venue located on Fort Worth’s up-and-coming Magnolia Avenue. Its popularity among locals means it’s often packed on weekends. You may find yourself waiting more than half an hour for a table. Fear not, however, as you can easily pass that time at the bar trying any of the 14 Texas craft beers on tap. Or, enjoy one of more than 60 bottles and cans from around the country. Brewed also has Kombucha on tap and a full menu of coffee drinks for those less beer-inclined.
Martin House Brewing Company
Martin House is one of the friendliest craft breweries around, where you’re invited to hang out, play cornhole and sample adventurous beer handcrafted to push the boundaries of flavor. For $10 you can fill a souvenir glass three times with any of their year-round beers or the monthly micro-seasonal concoction. Bring your friends and try the Daybreak, a refreshing ale described as a ‘sunrise in your mouth’. Or go for the Pretzel Stout, a dark brew rich with notes of sourdough and chocolate. Make sure you show up early, bring some lawn chairs, and are prepared for the best in Texas beer and hospitality.
Rahr & Sons Brewing Company
Mention craft beer and Fort Worth in the same sentence, and you’ll likely be talking about Rahr & Sons. Since its opening in 2004, Rahr & Sons has been at the forefront of the craft scene and has more than 50 awards to prove it. Stop by and see what the hype is about – $10 gets you in the door, where you’ll get a pint-glass and three pours. Sample the Rahr’s Blonde Lager, and check out the seasonal and special releases on tap. Rahr & Sons is an integral part of Fort Worth’s beer history and a must-see for any beer lover.
