Texas Ale Project, the pioneering craft brewery that helped launch the Dallas Design District’s booming beverage scene, is closing its taproom and production facility permanently. According to an official statement released by brewery leadership, the final day of operation for the taproom at 1001 N. Riverfront Blvd. is scheduled for December 20, 2024.
Why Texas Ale Project Is Closing in the Dallas Design District
Co-founders Kat and David inz brought Texas Ale Project to life in 2014 as the first legal manufacturing brewery to open in the Dallas Design District since the City of Dallas changed its zoning laws. According to the founders’ public farewell message, shifting economic pressures, rising operational costs, and the changing landscape of the craft beer industry ultimately drove the difficult decision to shut down production. Over a decade of business, the brewery built a loyal following with flagship beers like Fire Ant Funeral amber ale and Fifty Foot Shadow IPA, alongside hosting countless community events, live music sets, and private gatherings.
What Customers Can Expect Before the Final Closing Date
During its final weeks, the brewery is operating under adjusted taproom hours to allow patrons one last chance to visit the space. According to Texas Ale Project’s social media channels, the facility is staying open Thursday through Sunday through December 20, offering closeout discounts on merchandise, remaining specialty barrel-aged releases, and fresh pours of core beers. Fans of the brand have organized informal meetups on weekends to reminisce about the taproom’s role as a neighborhood anchor before the permanent doors close.
