Glen Rose Brewing Company opened their doors publicly for the first time today. I took a trip down there to check things out. They started construction about a year ago and built the building from the ground up and their ownership group purchased a 2 barrel system last year. Brewer Patrick Locke has been home brewing since 1995 and has honed in his recipes. Boasting 10 taps, they plan to have 10 beers/seltzers on tap at all times. Glen Rose has dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy River nearby and they have leaned into that dinosaur theme. Their logo features a hop flower with dinosaur track in the middle of it. Their beer names are also a reflection of the dinosaur theme with names like “Raptorweizen” and “Tricerahops”. I really enjoyed the flavorful Pecan Porter. There is a restaurant next door with a play area for kids in between. This will be a great spot for locals and visitors alike. I got to meet many of the friendly investors and staff and all of them were welcoming and you can feel the excitement for this new venture. Thanks to Beau and Patrick and everyone for their hospitality today. If you’re down in the Glen Rose area, this brewery is well worth a visit.
