10 Best Breweries in Denton

"In 2011, Wim Bens brought his love for brewing to life and made his dreams a reality when he started Lakewood Brewing Company. Here, the craft of brewing is treated with the utmost delicacy and each beer has its own unique flavor. The staff is extremely committed to providing the best quality for all its customers and there are four different specialty series of beers to try: legendary, seduction, year-round and seasonal."

"One can’t talk about stouts in DFW without talking about Lakewood. Their Temptress — both the base beer and the multiple flavor variations they produce, including peanut butter and salted caramel— is the most popular stout in the region. But Lakewood also produces year-round and seasonal beers in virtually every style, with a taproom in Garland that’s open Wednesday through Sunday."

"Founder Wim Bens was born in Belgium and developed a great appreciation for the Belgian-style beer. He attended the American Brewer’s Guild to learn more about brewing the perfect blend. A couple years later, Lakewood Brewing was born."

"Shannon Brewing Company is an independent and growing craft brewery located in Keller, Texas that produces an “award-winning portfolio of all-natural beer.” They have great beer that comes from a profound commitment to an old-world brewing process, the best natural ingredients available and a very patient aging process. They crafts all of their beer the way it was done centuries ago — with fire using pure Texas spring water, whole grain, whole flower hops and a whole lotta love. The brewery engineered a one-of-a-kind brewhouse, allowing it to heat its mash and wort with fire, giving its beer a caramelized malt profile."

"One of North Texas’s newest breweries is also one of its finest: Oak Highlands Brewery. Quench your thirst with any of their killer year-round beers, including the Allgood (a golden, full-bodied German Kolsch-style ale), the DFDub (a dark wheat-style brew with heavy banana and clove aromas), and the Freaky Deaky (a Belgian Tripel-style ale). The taproom is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; individual pints are available for purchase."

"Mead, one of the oldest alcoholic beverages, is fermented from honey which creates a gluten-free drink with a smooth, clean taste. Breaking Brew Meadery serve on tap a rotating menu of chilled & lightly carbonated session meads (6-8% ABV) in a wide range of flavors. YOU CAN ALSO CALL IT HONEY WINE"

"If you’ve spent any amount of time on I-35 you can’t help but see 3 Nations Brewery located in Historic Downtown Carrollton (right next to the silos). GREAT BEER IS BEST ENJOYED AROUND GREAT COMPANY. Three Nations Brewing makes great beer by combining ancient European brewing traditions with American innovation."

"When Brewmaster Matt Ehinger married Courtney McHugh in 2001, he instantly became part of a large, tight-knit, fun loving family. But as in all families, especially ones with a lot of sisters, it can sometimes be hard to keep the peace. Matt quickly learned that the best way to make family gatherings run smoothly was to supply everyone with his home-brewed beer."

"Four Bullets Brewery started off as a home brew kit one Christmas. After realizing he needed help, Jeff called on his friend, Andrew, for help. Andrew had been homebrewing since the mid-1980s and brewed to satisfy his own taste which was mostly English style ales from his homeland."

"GALLERY ORGANIZATION:Kevin Vogel, Owner/PresidentCheryl Vogel, Owner/CuratorLaura Green, Director. ABOUT VALLEY HOUSE GALLERY & SCULPTURE GARDEN:Founded in 1954 by Peggy and Donald Vogel, Valley House Gallery & Sculpture Garden is located in its original North Dallas location. The gallery represents established and emerging contemporary artists working in inventive ways with traditional media."

"North DallasCozy, seven-table space for New MediterraneanIf ever there was a restaurant specifically designed for romance, it would be Gorji. With zero televisions, no children allowed, and a dedicated server to wait on you all night long, it may be hard to go on a date anywhere else after this experience. Better still, the gratuity is already included so at the end of the meal you can focus on the person opposite you instead of a calculator."

"While this spot is about 15-20 minutes outside of Downtown Dallas, it’s well worth the drive. Secluded and intimate, Gorji offers only seven tables each night, all serviced by just one wait staff and the owner himself, Chef Mansour Gorji. This creates an unusually intimate atmosphere, perfect for a romantic evening of warm Mediterranean flavors and expertly prepared steaks."

"Owned by nationally recognized chef Richard Chamberlain, this steakhouse features palate-pleasing dishes that have garnered critical acclaim and national attention. The seafood is always fresh from that day, and the meat selections include prime rib, steaks, chops, and American-raised Kobe beef. Finish the meal with delicious deserts like their crème brûlée and consider it a perfect night."
