DFW Brewery Locations Turn Neighborhoods Around

Dallas leads the four-pack of Texas cities when it comes to craft brewery locations.

DALLAS—While Labor Day officially marks the end of the summer picnic season, the Texas climate makes outdoor barbecues possible most of the year and Texas breweries will finally be able to legally sell beer-to-go now that House Bill 1545 has officially passed. With its recent passage, more entrants to the craft beer scene are expected, increasing competition and revenue for craft breweries across the state which has been previously hindered by restrictive laws surrounding alcohol sales.

The passing of the beer-to-go bill is one of many positive legislative changes the industry has seen in recent years, increasing awareness, competition and sales of Texas craft beer. And, Texas breweries are getting greater exposure nationally, thanks to the production of quality product, acquisitions and partnerships, according to a recent study by JLL.
