10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Arlington

"Easily one of Dallas’s most-loved breweries, Deep Ellum Brewing Company was the city’s first new microbrewery in over a decade when it opened in 2011. “Bold, fearless, and unapologetic” from the start, this comfy spot churns out year-round favorites like the Dallas Blonde, the Deep Ellum IPA, and the Neato Bandito, an imperial Mexican-style lager, as well as seasonal brews like the Oak Cliff Coffee Ale and the Deep Ellum White IPA. Tastings and tours are held every Saturday at 1 and 2 p.m. for $15, which includes three beers and a glass."

"One of the veterans of the DFW craft scene, Deep Ellum Brewing Company produces some of the most popular beers in the area, from the endlessly drinkable Dallas Blonde to the beloved Deep Ellum IPA. They’ve also expanded into the world of hard seltzer via the Blind Lemon, and it’s a strong contender in the scene."

"So grab your date, find a local brewery and head out to learn all about the brewing process, but to also try some of the brews."

"Martin House is the ideal spot to spend a lazy Saturday hanging out, playing cornhole, and sampling stellar brews at their scenic location along the Trinity River banks. This popular brewery offers eight year-round beers, including the Friday IPA, True Love (a raspberry sour ale), and the Salty Lady. The latter is their interpretation of a Gose, a salty, tart German-style beer, that’s fermented with their house saison yeast and finished with coriander; the result is nothing short of divine."

"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’."

"Martin House Brewing is one of many local breweries in Fort Worth. What makes this one special is their selection. Martin House serves more than 30 rotating brews that include their year-round, micro-seasonal and limited edition beers."

"Is there a beer that screams Dallas more than Velvet Hammer, Peticolas’ 9% imperial red ale that seems to be everywhere in the Metroplex?. Located in a former warehouse in the Design District, Peticolas’ three-level taproom is a must-visit for anyone who is interested in beer that veers sharply towards the higher ABV end of the spectrum. And while that taproom is currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you can swing by and grab some beer to go Tuesday through Sunday."

"Peticolas Brewing Company, located in Dallas, is an honest, friendly, down-to-earth brewery delivering world class passion in a glass. THE WILLIAM WALLACE OF CRAFT BEER. Michael Peticolas began his career as a lawyer, spending more than a decade in the field."

"As with most craft beer businesses, Manhattan Project Beer Company began as a passionate hobby. Although their love for craft beer precedes the formation of Manhattan Project, the group first came together in 2010 with a goal to design a ground up beer to meet certain specifications for a very important event, Karl and Misty Sanford’s wedding. During the 8-month design period, the group realized the unique synergy achieved by the combination of each person’s particular skill."

"Manhattan Project was brewing and distributing in Dallas for a few years before their taproom opened, but now it’s a fully functioning beer destination just south of Trinity Groves. Like most Dallas breweries, the IPAs are the star here, but Manhattan Project also has something for those who like their beer on the lighter side: the Necessary Evil pilsner. There’s also a full coffee shop and some freshly made fried chicken to pair with the brews."

"Recently expanding to a second location in Downtown at 1508 Commerce, Pegasus City Brewery started out in a small space in the Design District. While other breweries in Dallas focus on IPAs and stouts, Pegasus City goes the opposite direction, with sessionable porters and ales. But don’t think that everything here is light, as their Belgian-inspired dubbel and trippel ales can certainly pack a punch."

"A post shared by Lilydog Brewing Company (@lilydogbrewingco). BEERS THAT ARE DRINKABLE AF. Pegasus City Brewery has been working on its craft since 2011, making a variety of brews that rewards their customers with perfectly balanced flavor, body, and finish."

"This attraction next to the immense NorthPark Center bounced back after a fire in 2005 destroyed its former building along with more than 2,500 works of art. As the name may tell you, the Museum of Biblical Art collects works inspired by the bible, and the list of artists featured is prestigious. There’s art by Marc Chagall, Andy Warhol, John Singer Sargent and Ben Shahn, just by way of intro."

"This one of a kind art museum focuses on the Christian and Jewish themes present in works of art around the world. Over 2,500 works by artists like Andy Warhol, John Singer Sargent and Marc Chagall as well as a vast collection of religiously affiliated artifacts, further heighten the purpose of this museum."

"One of the best places of interest for Christians and those who follow other paths, the Museum of Biblical Art showcases incredible works inspired by incredible stories. Some of the best artists who ever lived have pieces on display here. These are among the most beautiful things to see in Dallas."

"They have 2 locations for you to check out, one in Fort Worth and one in Victory Park. This art installation has a photo op at every corner and literally everything here would make for a perfect photo op. Not to mention the Dallas location has a bar at the end for you to grab over-the-top cocktails covered in cotton candy and all things pink!"

"This one can be a challenge to shoot if you’re going during the daytime. If you want a front facing shot, where the wall is parallel to your camera, you’d actually have to photograph from across the street, since the sidewalk is narrow. My suggestion: shoot this photo at an angle!"
