Fort Worth beer favorite finds a new home. The old place becomes a whiskey distillery
Craft beer pioneer Rahr Brewing is now produced at Wild Acre Brewing in Fort Worth, Wild Acre executive Joel Malone confirmed Monday.
Rahr ‘s production line is at Wild Acre, but the brewer is still seeking a permanent home after leaving its original location in South Main Village in April, co-founder Fritz Rahr posted in a Facebook comment.
Blue Flag Distillery, a new single-malt whiskey line, will replace Rahr in its old location at 701 Galveston Ave., according to a recent announcement by founder William Rucker.
Rahr will host events July 5 and Sept. 13 at the Flying Saucer restaurant and beer hall downtown, 111 E. Third St.
Rahr wrote on Facebook: “We are going to AP brew at Wild Acre and once we get that going we are going to look for our new home that we Actually Own! It’s really simple guys.”
The sprawling Wild Acre facility, 1734 E. El Paso St. near downtown, also features a restaurant and beer garden.
That facility will continue to serve Wild Acre beers, according to Malone.
Rahr wrote in April that he is seeking a new location about the same size as the South Main Village building, a 50-year-old former Coca-Cola Bottling warehouse.
