Our Story

Turning Point Beer · 1307 Brown Trl, Bedford, TX

Turning Point started with Alex Knight, a homebrewer who got bitten by the craft beer bug and chased whatever the flavor of the week happened to be, and it grew into a brewery and taproom on Brown Trail in Bedford. Hazy IPAs, sours, lagers and seltzers, poured fresh and canned to go.

Our Story

Turning Point started the way a lot of good things do: with one person who couldn't leave well enough alone. Alex Knight got bitten by the craft beer bug and started brewing his own, chasing whatever the flavor of the week happened to be: a French saison, a lager, a pale ale, an IPA hopped into oblivion. That obsession earned him a brewing job at one of DFW's most respected craft breweries, where he learned what it actually takes to make consistently great beer, and where the idea of Turning Point started to take shape.

At the end of 2016, we put it all on the table. We campaigned, we raised capital, and we spent a lot of nights in local craft bars meeting the North Texas beer community face to face; the people who'd eventually become regulars. In August 2017 we signed the lease on our space in Bedford, and on March 17th, 2018, with a whole lot of help from friends and family, we opened our doors.

Turning Point Beer is more than a brewery. It's a lifestyle, a social house, and a place built to inspire and create. Come see what we mean.
