Maple Branch Craft Brewery<\/p>\n
2628 Whitmore Street<\/p>\n
This longtime anchor of The Foundry District is much more than just a brewery. Maple Branch Craft Brewery<\/a> offers 14,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, including a biergarten, and serves lunch and dinner. Options include wood-fired pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, and a giant Bavarian pretzel. More than 20 house-brewed beers are typically on tap, along with wine, coffee, and non-alcoholic drinks. Last fall, they opened a coffee shop<\/a> called Branch & Bean next door.<\/p>\n 200 E. Broadway Avenue<\/p>\n South Main Village has flourished over the past several years, thanks in no small part to early arrivals like HopFusion Ale Works<\/a>, which brought new energy to this bustling corner of the Near Southside. The spacious taproom and patio remain a neighborhood gathering spot that draws a steady lineup of live music, trivia, karaoke, and other events. Owner Macy Moore had to overcome several hurdles to open his brewery in 2016, and he\u2019s been a steady \u2014 and much appreciated \u2014 presence in both the craft beer and Near Southside communities ever since.<\/p>\n Cowtown Brewing Company<\/p>\n 1301 E. Belknap Street<\/p>\n Cowtown Brewing Company<\/a> occupies a corner of Fort Worth with deep railroad roots. The nearby neighborhood is dubbed \u201cRock Island\u201d for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway, which established a presence in Fort Worth<\/a> more than 130 years ago. Cowtown Brewing\u2019s barbecue-heavy menu includes brisket, pulled pork, baby back ribs, and jalape\u00f1o cheddar sausage \u2014 washed down, of course, with a Rhinestone Cowboy K\u00f6lsch.<\/p>\n Second Rodeo Brewing<\/p>\n 122 E. Exchange Avenue<\/p>\n Mule Alley\u2019s year-round events, rodeo, and Western-chic shopping options \u2014 along with a five-year-old crown-jewel hotel \u2014 have made the Stockyards one of Fort Worth\u2019s liveliest destinations. With its colorful lawn chairs scattered across a sprawling beer garden and three live music acts every day, Second Rodeo Brewing<\/a> doesn\u2019t sit quietly in the saddle. The lively menu features a brisket-and-short-rib smash burger, Philly cheesesteak, beer-battered steak fingers and gravy, and wings. Needless to say, this ain\u2019t this brewery\u2019s first [insert punchline].<\/p>\n 1734 E. El Paso Street, Suite 190<\/p>\n Wild Acre Restaurant & Beer Garden<\/a> makes a strong case for being Fort Worth\u2019s most family-friendly brewery. The sprawling beer garden gives kids plenty of room to burn off energy with playgrounds, a giant inflatable jumping pillow, lawn games, and a custom pedal kart track with both kid- and adult-sized karts. Parents can settle into the lounge chairs and order from a full menu of smash burgers, Texas-sized sandwiches, salads, and shareable snacks.<\/p>\n Three Wide Brewing<\/p>\n 16230 Three Wide Drive<\/p>\n Located just a couple of miles from Texas Motor Speedway, Three Wide Brewing<\/a> has deep roots in North Texas craft beer. Brewmaster Matt Morriss previously helped launch the much-missed Rabbit Hole Brewing in nearby Justin, which closed in 2019. The massive two-story brewery has 30 taps, an outdoor bar, event lawn, balcony, and a hidden speakeasy appropriately named The Rabbit Hole. Chef Roger Evaristo handles the food through Azores Craft Sausages & Charcuterie, with pizza and housemade bratwurst being popular options.<\/p>\n![\"HopFusion](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/659832944_1361446892690235_4503539269075958682_n.jpg.webp\")
