Denton County Brewing Company - Brewery in Denton - 200 E McKinney St, USA

Denton has itself a unique, fun brewery. They have some adventurous flavors. They also have a lot of different beer styles. The inside is cozy, with couches and some games. They also have some outdoor seating. They also have some walls that raise and lower, for the more temperate seasons. The man behind the bar gave some great recommendations and is clearly passionate about what he does.

University towns are usually great places to find craft breweries, and Denton Texas is no different. Denton County Brewing Co. is located a couple of blocks northeast of the Courthouse Square. While I was expecting a campus vibe, I was intrigued to find it with more of a locals feel. Nothing wrong with that, of course, because town and gown don’t always mix well anyway. The crowd was a lot closer to my age than it would have been with UNT and TWU students. DCBC has 23 of its own beers on tap, along with a few selected guest taps. If you can’t find something to our liking here, you’re probably not a beer drinker. I was stunned to find seven—count ‘em—-seven different IPAs, which meant I had my work cut out for me. Thankfully, they do small pours, because my flight of four was not going to cut it. My favorite from the samplings results in a pint of the winner. I did not do the Blueberry Fortune, since it is a milkshake IPA, and I don’t care for any lactose. But of the remaining six, five were definite hits, making it tough to choose one for the pint. Bring Da Ruckus (9%ABV) was the only one that did not get two thumbs up from me, because it is a triple. I could taste the alcohol, which is a turnoff for me. To each their own, though. Otherwise, Hop Blizzard (8.5%ABV) delivered as per its name suggests, a very hop-forward brew with a delightful finish. Kick Flip Cold IPA (5.1%ABV) was my overall favorite, and resulted in a pint. It is a very approachable potable, and left a somewhat malty finish as most cold IPAs do. You could drink a lot of these and be fine. Otherwise, London Fog, a NEIPA (7.1%ABV) was delightful on the front end, but on the back end left me wondering exactly what I was tasting. It wasn’t bad…I just couldn’t figure it out. HopNado (6.5%ABV) was superb, and was a close second for bonus pint honors, and were I staying a little later, I would have downed one of those too. Finally, Tony Hop Underground (8.5%ABV) was another solid entrant. Food trailers are available adjacent to the brewery, and a visit to Denton is not complete without a short walk around the Square and nearby environs. It may have been December, but it felt like Spring that night. Overall, nice quiet atmosphere and excellent brews. I will be back.

Good addition of new beers! Sour, seltzer, milkshake ipa, easy choice as always get a lager with devils tears! Good live music Sunday night!

Great beers and atmosphere. Very fun and eclectic vibe inside, perfect for Denton near colleges. Could see it easily filling up but was still pretty lax when we went on a Saturday afternoon.

Awesome smaller Brewery, great central Denton location. I really enjoyed their new London Fog IPA, Great conversation with my bar hostess...enjoyed my time there...they have a really cool vibe inside. Looking forward to another visit.

There are so many GREAT things to say about this brewery. Too many to list here. I will mention that the ambiance is fantastic and the beer is truly enjoyable alone, or with a group of friends. What makes this place incredibly special is Seth, the owner. If you met this guy, you would swear he had a hospitality background. No, this guy has a fanatical passion for the craft of brewing and it shows in the products him and his team create year-round. I highly recommend you visit this place and I hope you are lucky enough to run into the owner. It will take your beer enjoyment to the next level here.

Always coming up with super great small batch brews, including HARD seltzers that are dangerously delicious. A fun place to hang out! As far as the people go, they are super involved in the community and always finding ways to give back and support others. 10 stars for this fun bunch.

A unique local and unexpected experience.great beers
