If you think the craft beer scene skipped over Flower Mound, you’re in for a surprise… this area is home to an impressive mix of taprooms, brewpubs, and friendly neighborhood hangouts serving up everything from hazy IPAs to barrel-aged stouts. Whether you want a cozy place to sip a pint with your family or a lively brewery for trivia and live music, there’s something here for every beer lover.
Let’s get to it.
Local Pint
Stepping into Local Pint in Flower Mound reveals a craft beer haven with more than forty-five taps, neatly organized by style so you can grab a blonde without accidentally pouring a sour. Local Texas breweries like Peticolas and True Vine share space with the house label, which changes often and showcases experimental batches.
The casual setting welcomes families, thanks to the “Couldn’t Find a Sitter” kids’ menu and plenty of seating for groups. Trivia nights, especially Simpsons or Marvel themes, get competitive and boisterous, but never stuffy.
Bar snacks sometimes steal the show. The BOJ Burger arrives topped with a bacon-onion jam brewed in stout, and the Duck Fat Tots earn high praise. You can fill a growler, sample a seasonal collaboration, or snack on smoked hummus before you leave. Staff members are genuine craft beer enthusiasts and share their knowledge without sounding like professors. If you want a friendly spot that feels like a second living room and specializes in beer, Local Pint delivers.
Keyworth Brewing Company
At Keyworth Brewing Company in North Richland Hills you’ll find German-inspired beers served with full Texas hospitality. Their chalkboard tap list changes often, featuring classics like Hootenfest Festbier and Big Horn Helles Bock alongside bolder offerings such as the pastry stout Tears of Perseus and Ephemeral Glow Triple IPA. All beers are brewed just steps from the taproom for peak freshness.
Inside, a kids’ corner stocked with building blocks and mats keeps little ones entertained while board games fill communal tables. When the sun’s out, the shaded beer garden beckons with picnic tables, swings, and yard games. Next-door barbecue can be delivered straight to your seat or you can snack on chips and sodas from the on-site shelf. Dogs are welcome outdoors and special events range from yoga classes to brisket workshops. With approachable brews and a relaxed vibe, Keyworth makes every visit feel like a friendly gathering.
BENDT Distilling Co.
Over in Lewisville, BENDT Distilling Co. excels at grain-to-glass whiskey, aging bourbons, ryes and single-malt spirits for at least four years in 53-gallon barrels. The lineup includes the award-winning BENDT No. 5 American Blended Whiskey, house-made liqueurs, and limited releases like peach brandy or Texas Agave Spirit that you can pick up only on site.
Public tours guide you through the process and end with tastings. You can even fill a bottle straight from the cask. On Friday and Saturday nights, happy hour features discounted cocktails and tasting flights while local bands perform indoors or outdoors. Families gather in the tasting hall, while the outdoor whiskey garden offers more room, cooling fans, and space for dogs to stretch out.
Frequent medals reflect a focus on big barrel-aged flavors: rich oak, creamy vanilla and a spicy rye kick. A Texas Pecan Old Fashioned is in the works, so there’s always reason to return. BENDT delivers a genuine distillery experience with a local twist.
ODD Muse Brewing Company
At ODD Muse Brewing Company in Farmers Branch you step into a laid-back taproom and beer garden that feels like a friend’s backyard gathering. Their 10-barrel brewhouse crafts small-batch beers that stand out from the usual offerings. Inside, you’ll find ample seating and rotating artwork on the walls. Outside, the beer garden welcomes pups with water stations and space to lounge while guests try a round of cornhole or giant Jenga.
Food trucks pull up regularly, serving everything from tacos to gourmet grilled cheese, or you can DoorDash in your favorite takeout. Beer highlights include hazy IPAs like Muse Juice and Primrose Path alongside barrel-aged stouts such as Fish Phood and Candy Aisle. One-off high-gravity releases and coffee stouts keep the lineup fresh. Even the label art picks up awards, a nod to the creative spirit here. With live music, record-spinning DJs, and community collaborations, ODD Muse balances innovation and neighborly charm in every pint.
False Idol Brewing
At False Idol Brewing in North Richland Hills the focus is on variety and quality. Their 10-barrel system produces everything in-house, from hazy IPAs to a classic West Coast pale ale. If you think you’ve tried every milkshake IPA, samples of Trustfund Baby or Side Hustlin’ will prove otherwise. Barrel-aged stouts and English barleywine like Two Faced Terror—bronze medalist at the 2023 FOBAB—round out the darker side of the menu. Seasonal releases, from blueberry crumble Berliner to experimental sours, keep fans coming back for new flavors.
The patio is dog-friendly, complete with pet bowls during Yappy Hours, and the indoor space features board games for families and kids. Weekly pop-up artisan markets offer local crafts while trivia nights and DJs add evening energy. Food trucks park onsite almost daily and visitors can also order in. Whether you drop by for a lazy weekday pint or a Sunday happy hour, False Idol delivers a creative, welcoming beer experience every time.
3 Nations Brewing
Carrollton’s 3 Nations Brewing feels like a spot where everyone, even families with toddlers or dogs, can settle in. The taproom has an outdoor Biergarten for fresh air, a spacious indoor Beer Hall, and a balcony that overlooks the brewing tanks. It’s entirely smoke-free, which makes it feel more open.
The menu covers all bases. Burgers and tacos share space with fried specialties, kids’ meals, and Tornado Fries that recall State Fair vendors. Weekly events keep the calendar full: bingo on Wednesdays, trivia on Thursdays, new beer releases on Fridays, and live music each Saturday.
Beer fans will find bold options year-round. Imperial milk stouts arrive when temperatures drop, and tart fruit sours cool you off in the heat. The Saddle Up!

Inside Bankhead Brewpub, laughter and activity fill the air. Kids dash between tables and dogs lounge on the patio while brunch orders fly from the kitchen. The industrial décor shows off giant fermenters behind the bar, and the upstairs lounge hosts trivia crowds each week.
The menu calls for friends to share. Crispy wood-fired pizzas and gooey fried cheese curds often compete with a brisket melt that dares you to finish it alone. Seasonal additions appear alongside prosciutto-wrapped jalapeños. It’s easy to spot returning favorites and surprise items.
Beer fans come for the medals but stay for the variety. Brews like Hootenanny Bock and Hoofer’s Hef have collected awards at the Great American Beer Festival. Core brews like the Wheel’s Off IPA and Low Beams lager are reliable choices. Those seeking something different can sample rotating fruit sours or winter barrel-aged stouts. If you appreciate a neighborhood hangout with genuine character, from pre-prohibition nods to automotive memorabilia, Bankhead Brewpub delivers a spirited experience every time.
Hop and Sting Brewing Company

Their rotating house beers span hop-heavy American IPAs and intense DIPAs to tangy fruit sours and barrel-aged monsters like the Bourbon Barrel-Aged Frigid Underworld stout. Series releases including Big Trouble in Little D and She’s Intense showcase their knack for hops.
The taproom feels laid-back and truly family-friendly. Kids can sip sodas or play board games while adults debate sours, ciders or the seasonal Christmas Cookie Ale. Dogs get VIP treatment too, with water bowls and treats ready by the bar. The leash rules are relaxed, so pups can roam without getting in the way.
Events fill each week: live music, yoga classes, trivia nights and rotating food trucks. Those activities, along with consistent quality, have earned Hop and Sting multiple “Best Brewery in DFW” honors. If you want a spot that pairs variety with a touch of organized chaos, this brewery checks all the boxes.
Soul Fire Brewing Company
Inside The 206 food hall in downtown Roanoke, Soul Fire Brewing Company blends industrial-chic design with a family-friendly atmosphere.

Seasonal fruited sours and winter stouts like Hell Face bring dessert-level richness to the lineup. Thanks to the food hall setting, orders of creole, tacos, or BBQ baked potatoes arrive just steps from your table. Kids have their own corner and outdoor dog bowls keep pups happy.
