This is an update of the annual breakdown of brewery sizes in North Texas, with 2023 production data added as reported to the Brewers Association and published in the May/June 2024 issue of The New Brewer.
Note, not all brewing companies provide their numbers (assumptions are made for a couple of "Large" tier breweries based on past history), while some report statistics combining multiple locations. Data also includes production from breweries that closed during the course of 2023. As a result, the number of entities represented in the chart is not equal to the total number of breweries open and operating at any given time.
Inside the numbers:
The large-size brewery tier in North Texas, based on production (shown alphabetically):- Community Beer Co. of Dallas.
- Deep Ellum Brewing Co. of Dallas.
- Manhattan Project Beer Co. of Dallas.
- Martin House Brewing Co. of Fort Worth.
- Revolver Brewing of Granbury.
Tier movement
- Advancing from "Mid-Size" to "Large" tier: Manhattan Project Beer Co. of Dallas.
- Advancing from "Very Small" to "Small" tier: Fort Brewery & Pizza of Fort Worth, Second Rodeo Brewing Co. of Fort Worth (includes data from Beard Science Sour House of The Colony), and Union Bear Brewing Co. of Denton/Plano.
Year-to-year production change
- Overall production in North Texas was down roughly 9% for those reporting in 2022 and 2023. This value is influenced somewhat by numerous "Small" tier breweries showing significant drops, though in some cases this involves cuts occurring prior to closing a second location or closing permanently.
- Comparison: Craft beer volume was down 1% nationally in 2023, according to the Brewers Association.
Significant year-to-year production gains (based on those reporting in 2022 and 2023)
- For the second year in a row, Manhattan Project had the largest reported year-to-year gain in raw barrels produced locally for 2023. In fact, sales of the brewery's beers have more than tripled since 2019.
- The largest year-to-year percentage gains for brewing companies with production greater than 1000 barrels were realized by 3 Nations Brewing Co. of Anna/Carrolton, Celestial Beerworks of Dallas (two locations), Fort Brewery & Pizza of Fort Worth, and Second Rodeo/Beard Science of Fort Worth/The Colony.
