ABOUT
Turning Point Beer began when Alex Knight was bitten by the craft beer bug and wanted to take a stab at making his own creations. Whether the flavor of the week was a French saison, lager, pale ale, or an IPA aggressively hopped with Warrior, his journey led to him to securing a brewing position at one of DFW’s most respected local craft breweries. Making these moves gave him the tools to learn exactly what it takes to produce consistent quality craft beers, the concept of Turning Point slowly began to evolve and grow. At the end of December 2016, we decided to put it all on the table to chase our dreams, start campaigning to raise capital, and brand awareness. Through many local craft watering holes that took a chance and allowed us opportunities to engage with their fantastic patrons, we were able to actually meet many local craft beer fans, and finally secure funding to start the business. At the end of August 2017, we had signed our lease on our space here in Bedford, Texas (1307 Brown Trail Bedford, TX 76022). With the help of many of our friends and family members and the support of all of you reading this, we proudly opened our doors March 17th, 2018, for our grand opening. Turning Point Beer is more than a brewery, it’s a lifestyle, a social house, and a center to inspire & create.
We would like to thank the following local businesses for their never ending and continued support, without y’all we would probably still be brewing on the weekends in the garage:
Ron’s Corner Tavern , What’s on Tap, Lonestar Taps & Caps, The Brass Tap Allen, Braindead Brewing, Community Beer Company, Martin House Brewing Co, Bru City, On Tap, The Bearded Monk, LUCK, Wiseguys Pizzeria, Kool Keg Arlington, The Thirsty Growler, Fullclip Craft, and 3 Nations Brewing Co.
Cheers!
