Did you know Texas has a long history with beer? German immigrants perfected the art of the lager in the 1840s and Texans have been enjoying this golden brew ever since.

Frisco has an active craft beer scene – from taprooms to food truck parks. Here are a few highlights:

Cork & Growler

This dog-friendly taproom offers 45 varieties of beer on tap, 75 percent of which are local craft beers. Add to that a trivia night, cornhole, board games, and 20 percent off growler refills on Mondays, and you’ve got yourself the perfect place to kick back with friends.

Frisco Rail Yard

This is the place to be to sample the finest creations Frisco chefs have to offer. It’s a family-friendly, outdoor dining experience that includes recreational opportunities, community events, and music. The food trucks and beers rotate, but they always have a Frisco favorite on tap. Be sure to check out our current go-to: Revolver Brewing Company’s Blood & Honey, an unfiltered American ale made with blood orange peel, spices, and Texas honey.

City Works
