Elbows down, pints up Cheers for these locally owned breweries ›
T
he brewing industry saw an overall revenue decline of 2.5% last year after a decade of growth and prosperity, especially among small local breweries. Our beloved neighborhood watering hole, Small Brewpub, closed at the end of 2019, and we are still craving that Black Pepper Pils. Luckily, we still have a lot of great breweries close by to choose from. At this point, Oak Cliff technically only has one brewery, Oak Cliff Brewing Co., but West Dallas has a couple. And if you’re down to cross the bridge, close-by breweries in the Design District (AKA the Beer District) include Texas Ale Project, Community Beer, Peticolas, Pegasus Brewing and Cidercade. Here are our favorite things about breweries on this side of the Trinity River. Story by MATT ABENDSCHEIN Photography by KATHY TRAN
