The Brand New Beer with a 150 year history
We are very pleased to announce that Fort Worth’s very own Rahr & Sons Brewing Company has joined on as one of our premiere sponsors at ZOMBIE MANOR for the 2008 season!
Rahr & Sons Brewing Company carries on a rich 150 year tradition of making GREAT BEER in downtown Fort Worth with a talented crew of professional brewmasters and enthusiastic volunteer staff.
The Rahr family has been making beer for generations. In fact, Rahr’s history of beer making in the United States is older than Fort Worth itself!
In the year 1847, Wilhelm "William" Rahr and his young bride "Natalie" left behind their beloved Rhineland, Germany and came to America. Within the year, on the banks of the Manitowoc River and Lake Michigan, William Rahr had established himself in industry - the Eagle Brewery and Malt House. Here, the brewery and malting facility produced fine German lagers and rich roasted malts.
The Eagle Brewery was the first "lager" brewery in Wisconsin. His three sons and two nephews helped make the Eagle Brewery a great success. William's nephews soon moved off to Green Bay and Oshkosh, WI to found the Rahr breweries located in those cities.

150 years later, the Rahr name is still known throughout the brewing community as a producer of only the highest quality malted barleys. It is because of this rich history Fritz decided to continue in the path of his ancestors and open his own brewery - Rahr & Sons Brewing, in the town of Fort Worth, Texas - a town very dear to his heart.
Every Saturday afternoon you are invited to take a tour and see how Fritz and his talented team make beer. Watch the fascinating, automated, high-speed labeler slap labels on hundreds of bottles a minute. Marvel at the large fermenting tanks. Check out some cool Rahr memorabilia…and best of all, taste some cold Rahr beer!
