903 Brewers

As its name implies, 903 Brewers is a hike away from the Metroplex, up in Sherman. But its beer slushies and full food menu with burgers and wings galore make this place a bucket list destination for beer lovers.

Lakewood Brewing Company

Copy Link

One can’t talk about stouts in DFW without talking about Lakewood. Temptress — the base beer and the multiple flavor variations it produces, including peanut butter and salted caramel — is the most popular stout in the region. It also has seasonal beers in virtually every style, with a taproom in Garland open seven days a week. In the newly added-on kitchen, guests can enjoy dishes including salads and wraps and hearty comfort foods such as barbecue brisket sandwiches (with meat sourced from the nearby Intrinsic Smokehouse) and flatbread pizzas.

On Rotation Brewery & Kitchen

On Rotation offers a selection of over 40 different rotating taps. A fan favorite is the Beyoncé-inspired I Woke Up Like This – a mimosa-flavored beer made with a heavy wheat base and bright, orange-forward hops infused with orange juice. This combination makes for a delectable brunch when paired with the signature gluten-free fried chicken.
