An American Pub Crawl

Exploring Collin County's Local Breweries

A traditional pub crawl might be the invention of the British, but who says exploring multiple pubs can't be done right here in Collin County? Thanks to a handful of local breweries that make their own craft beers, the spirit of the pub crawl can be enjoyed right here at home. Check out one or all of these local breweries and experience a fun night out with friends trying new beers, experiencing something new, and supporting local businesses.

With a climate-controlled covered patio, indoor seating, and an outdoor patio and stage for live music, there’s always something brewing at this pub.  Enjoy alfresco vibes in the beer garden, shoot darts, and, of course, sample one or more of the brewery’s 24-tap selection.
