Oak Cliff Brewing Co.
For nearly 75 years, the founders and their families have called south Oak Cliff home. As kids they passed by the Astro Drive-in Movie Theatre and Polar Bear Ice Cream shop while riding their bikes to and from their Grandfather’s church. Eventually they left home for school. Years passed by and when they returned, their old stomping grounds were almost unrecognizable. As the revitalization of Oak Cliff and the beer-making revolution caught traction, the heart of Oak Cliff was lacking unique craft beer destinations to call home. The founders embraced the opportunity to change that–and there was no hesitation on what to name it: Oak Cliff Brewing Company.In addition to operating a brewery, they operate a distributorship and self-distribute 100% of their award-winning beer.

The brewery focuses on the quality of our beer and the experience it brings to the beer drinker (whatever it costs). To do this, they are willing to risk it all.
