Hop & Sting Brewing Company

Hop & Sting Brewing Company gives Grapevine a brewery hangout built around small-batch beer, a taproom, a beer garden, food trucks, and a calendar that makes room for live performers. The brewery puts an emphasis on craft ales and lagers made with education, experience, discipline, and attention to detail, while the public side of the operation stays easygoing: see what is on tap, grab something from the day's food truck, and settle in indoors or out.

On music nights, the setting shifts naturally from brewery stop to neighborhood show. The official calendar brings in named performers and also features the Hop and Strings Bluegrass Jam, giving listeners a chance to catch a band or a loose afternoon of picking without leaving the beer-garden atmosphere behind. Music is one part of a busy events schedule here, so the event calendar is the clearest way to see what is playing next.
