Whether you’re in town to see Argentina, Japan, England, the Netherlands, or one of the surprise playoff teams, North Texas has a brewery scene built to keep you well-hydrated — and potentially late to kickoff if you’re not careful. DFW’s craft beer world is big, weird, and wonderfully spread out, and we’re giving you the no-BS guide to the spots that are actually worth your Uber fare.
Below is your curated list of the top breweries to hit while you’re in town, broken into “must visit” anchors, neighborhood picks, and a few wildcards for the adventurous supporter.
🏆 ESSENTIAL DFW BREWERIES FOR WORLD CUP FANS
These are the places you should absolutely build your itinerary around.
Peticolas Brewing Company (Dallas – Design District)
If FC Dallas had an official brewery, it would be Peticolas. This place is sacred ground for Dallas soccer fans and one of the most respected breweries in the state. The vibe is no-frills, the beer is elite, and Velvet Hammer has taken down more grown adults than a prime Didier Drogba.
Perfect for: supporters’ meetups, pregame hangs, and saying “one more won’t hurt” before finding out yes, yes it will.
Odd Muse Brewing Company (Farmers Branch)
This is a home base brewery for Big D Soccer. Odd Muse is all creativity and community — the kind of brewery where you could walk in alone and walk out with three new friends and a brewery dog. Rotating hazies, crispy bois, stouts, fruited sours… they hit everything.
Perfect for: supporters who want a laid-back hang, great art, better vibes, and absurdly good beer.
Lakewood Brewing (Garland)
Home of the legendary Temptress and one of the OGs of North Texas craft beer. Lakewood has massive space, a cozy taproom, and a beer lineup that gives every type of fan something to latch onto. Their seasonal and barrel-aged offerings? Dangerous.
Perfect for: large supporter groups, relaxed afternoons, and fans who want “the classic DFW brewery experience.”
On Rotation Brewery & Kitchen (Dallas – Near Love Field)
Absolute must-visit. On Rotation is half modern taproom, half scratch kitchen, and 100% one of the best brewery experiences in the Metroplex. Their rotating tap list stays adventurous without losing approachability, and their food (especially the chicken) is legitimately elite.
Perfect for: supporters who want great views, great vibes, and beer that hits every corner of the flavor map.

📍 DALLAS PROPER: GREAT BREWERIES WITHIN CITY LIMITS
Celestial Beerworks (Dallas – Medical District)
Trippy space art, insanely good hazy IPAs, and a vibe that feels like the Netherlands NT designed a taproom after a long night with glow sticks.
Drink if you like: juicy, low-bitterness beers and a heavy Instagram aesthetic.
Manhattan Project Beer Co. (Dallas – Trinity Groves)
Clean, modern, and very intentional — like Japan running a passing pattern. Known for crisp lagers, balanced beers, and a gorgeous taproom.
Drink if you like: lighter beers, patio space, good food, and smart branding.
Vector Brewing (Lake Highlands)
A cult favorite for locals. Excellent pizza, garden seating, and a surprisingly deep tap list. A very “I could live here” type brewery.
Drink if you like: family-friendly patios, saisons, lagers, and secretly elite food.
🤠 TARRANT COUNTY & FORT WORTH FAVORITES
Martin House Brewing (Fort Worth)
The mad scientists of Texas beer. If someone’s going to release a brisket sour or a pickle IPA during the World Cup, it’s them.
Drink if you like: chaos, memes, experimentation, and riverside hangs.
Cowtown Brewing (Fort Worth)
Beer + BBQ done right. A perfect pregame option for fans staying closer to Fort Worth or the Stockyards.
Drink if you like: smoked meats, approachable beer styles, and that classic Texas vibe.
