Who we are
About UsETX Brewing Co. is all about FAMILY. We are a family-owned microbrewery located just "Off the Square" in downtown Tyler, TX. Our dream turned into reality in May 2016 when we signed our lease and embarked on construction. On January 4, 2017, we proudly opened our doors, starting with the lower taproom. The tremendous turnout, even on a cold January day, quickly highlighted the need for expansion. This led us to the realization that craft beer deserved an equally craft food pairing.
Meet Brian and Matt, two brothers with contrasting life philosophies. Brian is always on the go, constantly creating and seizing opportunities, while Matt embraces life's natural flow. Despite their differences, their shared passion for exceptional craft beer unites them. Together, their unique philosophies converge in the pursuit of brewing excellence.
