Big Texas Beer Fest 2020 – March 27th-28th
Most great Fort Worth area 2020 beer events are a lot of fun but pretty small in scale, but then there’s the Big Texas Beer Fest, which more than lives up to its name. This event hosts more than 100 breweries with hundreds of different craft beers for you to taste and enjoy (please do not try to sample all 400+ beers in one visit!).

Arlington All-Star Craft Beer, Wine, and Cocktail Festival – May 9th
