Revolver Brewing

We had been wanting to make the trip to Granbury's Revolver brewing for months. Although it's about a 45 minute drive from the mid-cities area of DFW the trip made for a nice spring afternoon. I was definitely impressed with the country setting and the atmosphere at the brewery. It reminded me of a trip to a Hill country vineyard. The large amount of land allows delver to offer a stage for various performers, game area with corn hole, bean bags and jenga and a large picnic area.  Several visitors opted for a picnic lunch and there are many tables and benches as well as places to spread a blanket.  Music ranges from country and folk to rock, when we were there the Tarleton Jazz Ensemble played. Your admission gets three beers and a tour.

Despite the scenic setting and the entertainment; it is Revolver's beers that make the drive worthwhile. Blood Honey is undoubtedly a favorite to many craft beer lovers in the area. It is a unfiltered pale ale finished with blood orange zest and honey from Falls Creek Farms. I did not find a beer here I didn't like. High Brass is a pale blonde ale with carmel malts and Saphir hops from Germany. Revolver bock is a traditional bock with carmel and toffee flavors. The summer seasonal Sidewinder is a pale ale with unique  Texas flavors of agave, citrus, spice and maize. Sidewinder is a good summer brewer that's light but still has a little kick. The other current seasonal Mother's Little Fracker is one of my favs. This nutty sweet stout has a 7.75 avb and has a great roasted flavor. . The tour is not a full walk through of operations but rather a talk by members of the brew staff. They explain the brewing process and give some background on the brewery.

Done forget to end you visit with a stop at the gift shop because there is some awesome merchandise. We had to bring back a tim sign and a couple of shirts. The food vendors rotate but options may be limited so you can easily pack a cooler with your own lunch. I highly encourage a spring or fall trip out to Revolver.
