Rahr Brewery Roof Collapses From Snow

The roof of the Rahr Brewery in the Near Southside has collapsed due to the record snowfall.  Not a lot of information just yet.  When we hear more from Rahr, we’ll post it (obviously, the Saturday brewery tour is off).  Here’s what out friends at Bike Friendly Fort Worth had to say:

For those of you who have not heard, a Bike Friendly business suffered a lot of damage when their roof collapsed under the weight of last night’s record snows.

Rahr Brewing is temporarily closed and has halted production, and the timing is difficult for them, as they have several beers in the middle of the brewing process.

Rahr was bike friendly before being bike friendly was cool. They have donated beer to every bike event I have ever put on. They are current sponsors of a mountain bike race put on by the Fort Worth Mountain Bikers Association. And they have always happily allowed bicycle riders to park their bikes indoors on brewery tour day.

Please keep the Rahr Brewing family in your thoughts. Buy their beer wherever you find it available. And stay tuned; if there is an opportunity for BFFW to help this bike friendly business, we will let you know.

    I just now saw this post. This is terrible news!

    I also wanted to add that Rhar donated two kegs to our Ultimate tournament (Texas Two Finger, wwww.dallasunited.org). They were great to work with. Can’t say enough good things. Everyone should drink a Rhar to support the rebuilding of the roof!
