Highlights on this week's update of craft beer events in North Texas include birthday bashes at two area breweries. Both events take place on Saturday, as 903 Brewers hosts its Twelfth Anniversary Party & Classic Car Show in Sherman, while False Idol Brewing has its Five Year Anniversary Party in North Richland Hills.

Elsewhere on Saturday, the Meddlesome Moth will have a Bon Voyage Brunch as the gastropub prepares to end operations next week in Dallas. Then in Fort Worth, the Here's to 20 Years event at Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. will mark the final day of business at the brewery's original location as the company presses pause while searching for a new home.

As for other items of interest, Saturday's schedule also has Little d Brewfest at North Texas Fair & Rodeo in Denton. And it's American Craft Beer Week as well, so keep an eye on your favorite haunt's social media channels for related specials that may pop up in the coming days.

Cheers!
