Image © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D.. Industry chatter circulating on Monday morning suggested changes were in the works at Revolver Brewing of Granbury. Recall that Tilray Brands, a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company based out of New York, purchased the brewery (and others) from Molson Coors in September. This led some to speculate that operations at Revolver might be subject to consolidation down the road. And yes, that is indeed the case, at least to some degree. While large-scale brewing will no longer take place in Granbury, the site will still function ..read more

All logos and graphics the property of their respective owners. Image: Brian Brown/Beer in Big D. The intro to this year's annual review piece is probably going to sound a little bit like a broken record - times are tough and growth is stagnant, with brewery owners doing any and everything they can to stay afloat. Ask a local owner how things are going, and you get responses like "we're just barely breaking even," or "we've literally never made a profit." That, or there's a note of exasperation with a shake of the head and a shrug, followed by "I'm running a craft brewery." Even worse ..read more

Image © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D. According to reports on the ground, By the Horns, the resident brewing operation at Del Toro BBQ in Mansfield, is now closed. By the Horns originally emerged in January 2019 as part of a multi-concept development called The Backyard from Brain Storm Shelter. The brewhouse shared space with a taco purveyor for a little over a year, but both shut down in June 2020 due to COVID. The brewery's absence on the scene was then further extended once the parent company filed for bankruptcy. The assets on site were eventually acquired by Local Favorite Res ..read more

Image © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D. Wriggly Tin, the brewpub concept featuring Small Beerworks (an evolution of the former Small Brewpub in Oak Cliff), appears to be no more as a new concept is set to take over the space at 1906 S. Haskell Ave. in Dallas. In early September, Wriggly Tin announced it would close temporarily to make "internal changes" to its operation. At the time, the brewpub had been open for less than a year. At some point, the closure became permanent, as in recent week signage for a new tenant named Far-Out was installed on the site. A social media post on Dece ..read more

Image credit: Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. This year, Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. of Fort Worth celebrates 20 years in business since being founded in 2004. It's no small feat, considering breweries in North Texas have typically only stayed in business for 3-4 years over the course of the past two decades. In fact, staying power in this market has been a rarity. Just over 10% of brewing operations to open here since 2004 have made it to even 10 years. And 20? Eight have hit the 20-year mark in the history of North Texas, the local industry dating back to 1855. Two happened before Proh ..read more
