Bare Arms is pretty good. Nothing they do is extraordinary but it's a solid brewery. Brotherwell's Wit is phenomenal and their Tripel is firmly above average. Everything else that I've had of their's is ok.Pam Manhart said:

Not really in Waco. Bare Arms already sold 6'ers to go. I think it was more of a city ordinance deal across the state. Waco already allowed it.Pam Manhart said:

That's messed up.BearCPA said:
Creekside from Bare Arms is my favorite craft beer. It's the closest craft beer I've found to match up with fine domestics such as Bud Light or exotics like Tecate Light. Good stuff.
I see what you did thereBearCPA said:

Hmm...I don't doubt the accuracy of this. I just remember that Bare Arms sold sixers before this law. Maybe because they had food trucks outside. I've also purchased beers from other breweries before this law.RebelT said:BarleyMcDougal said:Not really in Waco. Bare Arms already sold 6'ers to go.

False. Any brewery that sold their beer to go in Texas was breaking the law. There were different rules for brewpubs and other types of establishments, but breweries were not allowed to sell beer to go in any city in Texas.
Brent is a friend of mine. He brews some pretty damn tasty suds. He has an RIS that's incredible, and his IPA's are also very good.Pam Manhart said:

Depends on your priority. Disclaimer - I have not been to Bare Arms or Brotherwell. I would say if the beer is priority then Waco Ale. If atmosphere is the priority, then I would say Southern Roots. Anxious to hear others' opinions and if I need to visit the other 2!Edmond Bear said:

I have been to all but Waco Ale and I will make it there in the next week as I am coming down for the volleyball game Saturday and back for football on Thursday. Been a mug club member at Bare Arms since they opened and was the only game in town. They do some really great beers and prices very good. Atmosphere is not great but not bad. Brotherwell has some good brews but the tap room needs a lot of help, think they may be working that. Made it to Southern Roots last football game and it was hopping. Great live music and certainly the best atmosphere by far, beer was just average. Waco Ale is having a pint night at Pinewood Pub this Friday and I may check their beer out there since we will be down for the volleyball game Saturday. We will check out their place before the WVU game as I have an AirBnb right near them for that game.Pam Manhart said:Depends on your priority.

Normally a flight is $10 but on Friday it is only $6 so I did two flights (4 beers) plus a single to try all nine of their beers. Then after the WVU game no Thursday I left with two crowlers of their Hazy IPA.Edmond Bear said:

Had to look up what a crowler is. Used to get a Growler filled occasionally at the Dancing Bear but haven't used one in years. Interesting.

They are great and very portable, I got here and get them a lot, https://www.tapsandcaps.com/locations/lewisville/. There was a period of time several years ago where our fine TABC decided they were illegal for places like Taps and Caps and made them pull them. They got sued and lost and it was a beautiful thing. T&C has them in 16 and 32 oz. I also have several growlers but don't use them a lot any more.
