Four Corners Brewing Co. is one of those up-and-coming breweries that you see on tap more often than not. I visited the brewery for the first time this year on Valentines Day (what, that’s not your ideal VDay celebration?) when there were still small-group week night tours. But now the brewery is open every Saturday for tours, and the taproom is open extended hours.
Four Corners is known for its 360-degree cans, and for recent TABC drama. The brewery is getting a little tight with all the new tanks brewers added this August, but the taproom and patio are still lovely. The All Day Alehouse taproom is one of two in D-FW open daily (Deep Ellum Brewing Co. is the other, and Community Beer Co.’s taproom is open Thursday-Saturday).
So check out Trinity Groves, one of the hottest areas in Dallas, for an informative tour and lots of options for tasty brews, then walk around for food and play.
What: Four Corners Brewing Co. tour
Where: 23 Singleton Ave., Dallas
When: Tours are at 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays. The taproom is open Monday-Friday from 5-10 p.m., Saturdays from 12-10 p.m. and Sundays from 2-8 p.m.
Why: The location is legit, and the taproom hours are wide-open. Oh, and the beer! Four Corners has some great brews, and being one of the few local breweries that cans puts them at the top of my list for when I’m looking for beer to take home.
How much: The tour is free. I repeat: The tour is free. You need to sign up online to reserve a spot, but then you get the tour, with free samples. In the taproom, pints are $5 and flights are $7.
What else: Dogs are allowed (on the patio only), there is plenty of parking, and it’s within walking distance of LUCK, recently named one of D-FW’s best craft beer bars. To top it all off, the Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge park (parallel to the new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge) is just a walk away.
Also, they have a tire swing.
