July 31–August 2, 2026 · Central time
Watermelon, puppies and a little “Reputation”
The first weekend of August is doing the most—in a good way. DFW breweries have live music, puppy yoga, behind-the-scenes tours, a watermelon festival and a full Taylor Swift tribute waiting between Friday night and Sunday brunch.

|
We checked every selection against a current brewery-owned source and kept every time in Central Daylight Time. Pick a neighborhood, bring water for the Texas heat and let someone else drive if the tasting flight turns into a second round.
