🍺 Martin House Brewing Company, Tropical Punch Pickle Beer
It’s the best of both worlds — fruit punch and pickle beer. Fort Worth-based Best Maid Pickles teamed up with the brewery to create the unique pairing. If you grew up eating Kool-Aid pickles, this one’s for you.
🍺 Maple Branch Craft Brewery, Raspberry Fields
Considered to be the most popular on the brewery's menu, Raspberry Fields is sporting a new design this year in 22-ounce glass bottles. The blond ale is made with fresh raspberries and typically served in a Teku (a uniquely-shaped glass perfect for picking up aroma). |

🍺 Wild Acre Brewing, Billy Jenkins Bock
Derived from the city’s namesake, General William Jenkins Worth. The beer was one of the first brewed by the company, features notes of brown sugar and caramel + is less sweet than a traditional German Bock.

It looks like Fred’s Texas Cafe is putting the final touches on its new location just in time for patio season. The iconic Fort Worth restaurant moved out of its original location on Currie Street last December after nearly 50 years on the scene.
The new location at 7101 Camp Bowie W. will feature a covered outdoor patio, a bigger indoor dining area, an event space + parking. The location is expected to open “soon.”

Editor's pick: I’m not a big beer drinker (hence why I was roasted in the comment section of this video). If you’re in the same boat as me and want to blend in with the rest of your beer-drinking friends, I highly recommend trying the Raspberry Fields from Maple Branch Craft Brewery. Think fruity soda with a slight taste of beer.
