Thomboys Brewing Co. signs lease on space in Van Alstyne
Image credit: Thomboys Brewing Co. A new project to be called Thomboys Brewing Co. has set its sights on Van Alstyne after signing a lease on a spot in the city's 121 Business Park , located just west of U.S. 75 at 14333 FM 121. Thomboys is led by Bryan Thomas, who is looking to forge his own path with this self-branded venture after building a brewing resume which includes stops at Ivanhoe Ale Works of Denison, Steam Theory Brewing Co. of Dallas and others. Obviously, it's very early in the development process, but Thomas hopes to get to work right away on the space with the goal of opening by the end of the year. Once that happens, plans are to focus on distribution at first, with a taproom to follow at a later date.

'Craft Beer for the Soul' set to be served at Smittox
Photos: Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D. Some dreams take a little longer to be realized than others, and that is certainly the case with Smittox Brewing Co. , which is set to become the area's first fully black-owned brewery once it opens this weekend at 930 E. Clarendon Dr. in Dallas. Founded by Kuumba "Smitty" Smith, the Smittox name has been known to the industry since the company's inception in 1998. That same year, the brewery's recipe for Short Order Porter, an imperial breakfast porter infused with coffee, maple syrup, cacao nibs and hazelnut, won the Riverside Shootout Homebrew Competition at Martin House Brewing Co. of Fort Worth. After the success of the event, Smith began searching for a place to set up shop. Collin County was the original target, but by January 2023, Smith had signed a lease on the Clarendon space in Dallas, which was then approved for a brewpub license the following April. From that point on, it's been a matter of navigating a number of hurdles t

Beer, BBQ & burros: A look at Village Creek Brewing Co. in Rendon
Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D. If you're looking for a place to go where you can get away from it all, a new venue in Rendon may be just the sort of spot you seek. What's more, with the primary offerings being craft beer and barbecue, one wonders what more does a Texan need? Founded by Art & Sunny Anderson, you could certainly call Village Creek Brewing Co. a labor of love, considering the couple has been working to make the business a reality since 2019. That year, they poured beer at Luckapalooza V , hosted by LUCK at Trinity Groves, while they were scouting locations for their future endeavor. By the end of 2019, the Andersons had purchased a 4.7-acre site in Rendon, with the brewery and an expansive biergarten set to front the property while occupying around an acre of that land at 6690 Levy County Rd. So, why did it take six years to get here? Well, to start, there was this pandemic thing that caused a few disruptions. Beyond that, by all accounts Village Creek was built

Second Rodeo joins Firefly Park project in Frisco
Rendering of Firefly Park in Frisco (Wilks Development). For the past two years, Second Rodeo Brewing of Fort Worth has been actively exploring options for a second location, with the latest possibility - a least in North Texas - a new development being built in North Frisco. Coming from Wilks Development of Fort Worth, Firefly Park is a mixed-used urban village set to occupy a 217-acre tract of land on the southwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and U.S. 380, expanding down to PGA Parkway. According to a press release, once completed "Firefly Park will feature 3 million square feet of Class A office space, 400,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment, 1,200 hotel rooms, 230 townhomes, and 1,970 residential units." Second Rodeo signed on as a tenant in late April. The brewpub, a concept from Jason Boso and Brain Storm Shelter (the group behind Truck Yard), debuted its original location in the Fort Worth Stockyards during the summer of 2021. "Second Rodeo Brewing has al

Blue Flag now flying over familiar Fort Worth spot
Single malt in the bottle, Blue Flag Pale Ale in the glass (Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D). A new beverage alcohol business called Blue Flag Distillery has taken over a long-time familiar spot in the Near Southside neighborhood of Fort Worth. Led by Will Rucker and Nate Swan, Blue Flag replaces Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. at 701 Galveston Ave., with the brewery's former taproom transformed into a special event space known as The Vault. Blue Flag has been hosting private events there for a few weeks, but a Saturday soft opening was the first time The Vault's doors were open to the public. Incidentally, Rucker comes from an oil and gas background, while Swan spent many years as a cellarman and brewer at Rahr & Sons, which for him means this new venture makes for a full-circle moment. So, what's the "blue flag" all about? It's drawn from a tradition built around neighborhood gatherings. Symbolic of an open invitation, if a blue flag was being flown outside of someone's hous

Brewery proposal targets Old Town Roanoke
Image credit: Pirate Panda Brewing/Spiars Engineering & Surveying. A new brewery may be in the works for Old Town Roanoke , based on the minutes of a Planning & Zoning Commission meeting that took place in the city on Monday, April 6. Tentatively called Pirate Panda Brewing, the project would be a new construction located on what is now an approximately one-acre empty lot at 200 S. Oak St., just across from Hard Eight BBQ. Plans call for the build-out to consist of a "4,328 square foot brewery, a 3,500 square-foot patio area, and a 200 square-foot kitchen." Should the proposed venture come to fruition, Roanoke would then be home to two brewing operations, with Pirate Panda joining The 206 Brewery & Bar on Oak St., with just three blocks separating the two establishments. Also of note, ownership appears to be based in South Florida, which may have been a proposed destination for the project at one time based on a logo design contest held on the graphic design marketplace, 99

New brewery looks to leave its footprint in Glen Rose
Texas Honey Blonde one of 10 beers on tap at Glen Rose Brewing Co. (Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D). If you find yourself making tracks in the far southwestern region of North Texas, there's a new craft beer destination for your consideration, now that Glen Rose Brewing Co. is open and operating in the city known as the "Dinosaur Capital of Texas." It's the first brewery for Glen Rose and the surrounding county of Somervell. David Dulcie founded the company, which debuted in early July at 302 Lake View St. on a site that sits just over a mile northeast of Glen Rose's historic downtown district. There, the brewery shares an outdoor public area with a neighboring restaurant called 3B Beers, Brats & Burgers . It's a convenient co-existence, since hungry patrons can order one of the shop's build-your-own burger, bratwurst or grilled chicken baskets at the bar inside the taproom. On that note, Glen Rose operates within a smaller structure, with the taproom and production space

A visit to the new Bosque River Taphouse in Stephenville
A flight of beers paired with the Hothead Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sando at Bosque River Taphouse (Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D). This weekend, time was spent catching up on new facilities setting up somewhat outside the orbit of the immediate Dallas-Fort Worth area. One of these, Bosque River Taphouse of Stephenville, originally opened in a temporary space in late 2023. The company has since upgraded to an expansive new spot at 320 S. Harbin Dr., just south of the campus of Tarleton State University . Sean and Amanda Mosher form the duo behind the family-owned business, which completed the move to its new locale in May. The couple now operates the brewery and taproom in a 15,000 square foot building fronted by roughly 7,000 square feet of outdoor space and a sizable dedicated parking lot. On the inside, available area is divvied up between larger and smaller dining sections, the kitchen and the brewhouse, with the main dining room surrounded by more than a do

Murphy's Law building brewery and pizzeria in Burleson
Image credit: Murphy's Law Brewery & Pizzeria. A name long familiar to the industry is set to take the next big step on its journey, as Murphy's Law Brewery & Pizzeria has signed a lease on a 4,000 square foot location in The Standard at Chisenhall development at 309 W. Hidden Creek Parkway in Burleson. Michael and Sandra Murphy are the husband-and-wife team behind Murphy's Law, which began as a homebrewing project carrying the family name roughly a decade ago. Along the way, the Murphys created recipes and participated in events like The Riverside Shootout (2017, 2018) at Martin House Brewing Co. of Fort Worth, and Luckapalooza (2018, 2019) at the craft beer-centric restaurant, LUCK in Dallas, prior to its closure in early 2020. Beyond their homebrewing endeavors, Michael was a crewmember at the brewers' supply shop, Texas Brewing Inc./Pro Brew Supply , while Sandra went on to join Panther Island Brewing of Fort Worth in 2019, working her way up to the position of head b
