The festival, produced by TRVA with support from Panther Island Brewing, the City of Fort Worth and the Tarrant Regional Water District, will honor some of our favorite things in Fort Worth by featuring craft beer from Panther Island Brewing, Martin House, Rahr and The Collective Brewing Project; live local music and delicious food from Fort Worth-based restaurants such as Reata, Fred’s Texas Café, Buttons, Mexican Inn, Salsa Limon, Chadra Mezza, Gypsy Scoops, Mamma’s Pizza, Smokey’s and more.
