Beer with ‘West Coast feel’ for Texas taste; craft brewery to open in far north Fort Worth
Three Wide Brewing company is opening a crafthouse and restaurant on 16230 Three Wide Dr., offering 20 brews on tap and a menu of casual dining food, with The Martin Brothers performing at its March 2 debut.
The restaurant and brewery is in a far north Fort Worth warehouse and will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The new tap room is, “not like anything most people have seen in a brewery tap room around here before. It’s got more of a West Coast feel to it, but the beer is decidedly Texan,” said beer master and brew evangelist Matt Morriss.
Their chef, Roger Evaristo, is from Brazil and has prepared a menu of burgers, pizzas and sandwiches and pairing items with a craft brew. A standard lunch at Three Wide shapes up to be around $15.
The expansive tap house is geared for beer lovers. The location has a large communal indoor seating space as well as an outdoor patio because “beer tastes better outside,” according to the brewery’s website
Three Wide Brewing History
Three Wide is not new to the world of beer. The company already has four beers known in the Fort Worth area. The company distributes four IPAs to various Fort Worth bars and restaurants.
“We want to make beer that makes you want another one,” its website says.
“What’s a brewery without a few killer IPAs? We’re making them, and trust us — they’re good,” the company says.. Here’s a few to try:
“Everyday pills,” a bohemian pilsner
“High Groove,” a rye IPA
“Outer Groove,” a hazy IPA
“Dark Narrative,” a seasonal imperial stout
The beer master and brew evangelist
Morriss, a Fort Worth native, was a former engineer before becoming a brew expert. He’s now been in the industry for 10 years. Before crafting Three Wide, he opened Rabbit Hole Brewery in 2013 in Justin. Rabbit Hole’s door closed in 2019, leading to the start of the Three Wide project.
“Of course we were supposed to open a lot faster than we did. But this is what trying to open a major brewery during the middle of a pandemic... We ended up getting horribly delayed due to all of the supply-chain issues and everything else that kind of pushed us back” Morriss said.
He said he looks forward to expanding further south to Roanoke.
