Grant Wood helped establish a lasting craft beer palate in North Texas by way of Revolver Brewing. After a very brief hiatus, he's back in the game at a different brewery.
Grant Wood's brewing portfolio spans many decades and miles. After graduating from Texas A&M, he started his brewing career at Pearl Brewing Company in San Antonio, then moved across town to Lone Star before heading east to Samuel Adams in Boston.
Wood retired in 2020, but was recently lured into a new gig at Wild Acre Brewing in Fort Worth, which was bought by Joel Malone of Bishop Cider Company in May of this year. His new assignment is to elevate Wild Acre's beers. I’d known Joel at Bishop Cider. I met him years ago and he called me up and said, 'Hey, would you be interested in sort of coming off the bench?' He’d purchased Wild Acre and the assets at Legal Draft and had some big plans to take his business to the next level by expanding the cider business and revamping Wild Acre and going after some co-packing stuff.My primary focus with Joel is to work with Wild Acre. He doesn't know that much about making beer.
We caught that wave, brought out Blood and Honey and got great positioning in the greater DFW area. We were in a group with those first six craft breweries here. Everyone got their spot on the wall.And then, sort of coming into COVID, we hit a wall again, craft beer hit a wall. It wasn’t just COVID; it was seltzer, there were all kinds of things, market pressures that stood in the way of local and craft and we’re probably just coming out of a trough.
