Beer adventures

Have you ever wondered exactly how beer is made? I know I have. Brewing is a very interesting and complex system, and no other brewery does it better than Rahr & Sons. Rahr opens up their doors every Saturday from 1-3 pm to allow people to see first-hand how and where their beer is made. It is also a great opportunity to meet new people. There is a $10 dollar admission fee for anyone over 18. A tour of the brewery and a Rahr & Sons pint glasses are included, and the beer samples are free!

Rahr & Sons really started when Fritz Rahr graduated from Texas Christian University and fell in love with Fort Worth. His company has grown tremendously and hopes someday to pass on the family business to his sons. Rahr & Sons has always been a family owned business, and Fritz wants to keep it that way.

Tours are also available Wednesday are from 5 -7:30 pm. The biggest differences between the Wednesday and Saturday tours is the crowd size. Wednesday's are a little less crowded than the Saturday tours. Specialty beers are also offered on Wednesdays. These beers are always experimental so there is no way you can get there anywhere else. They also provide food on Wednesday tours.

The brewery is an open-air brewery so dress accordingly in the summer months.
