Like a lot of good Texas stories, Panther Island Brewing started with a few friends, guitars, and a cooler full of beer.
A Texas Brewery Built on Friendship, music and a love for good beer
It all started picking guitars around a campfire. Somewhere between the songs and the BS, someone said, “We should start a brewery.” Instead of laughing it off, we actually did it. Fueled by music, family, and the right amount of pure Texas stubbornness, we set out to make the best damn beer in Fort Worth.
We began in a storage unit with a small-batch system and big dreams. Those early brews started turning heads and bringing home awards, and before long we found our home in an old warehouse on North Main. The music’s still playing, the laughs are still loud, and every ounce we brew still carries that same campfire spirit.
OUR APPROACH IS simple. Make damn good beer and make it for everyone.
You don’t need to know your IBUs or talk tasting notes to enjoy a cold one here. Every batch is brewed with care, consistency, and a whole lot of love for the process. At the end of the day, it’s about good beer and good company. Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, malty stouts, light lagers, or just cracking one open with your old man, at Panther Island, we’ve got something for everyone.
Brewing with passion & precision.
We love the art of brewing, but we’re just as serious about the science. Our state-of-the-art setup, from our reverse osmosis system to our centrifuge and pasteurizer, keeps every batch clean, consistent, and true to flavor. It’s good old-fashioned brewing backed by modern tech, making sure every pint tastes exactly the way it should: damn good.
Our Secret Ingredient Is Our People.
Not everyone who works at Panther Island is family, but everyone’s treated like they are. We believe in hard work, good laughs, and having each other’s backs no matter what the day throws at us. Some of us are family and the rest might as well be. We all share the same goal: make damn good beer and have a good time doing it. Around here, respect runs deep, the jokes fly often, and nobody leaves without feeling like part of the crew.
