FORT WORTH, TX — Rex's Fort Worth is tapping into Texas pride with the introduction of T-Rex Lager, a new beer that is grown, malted, and brewed entirely within the Lone Star State. The launch comes just as the restaurant and bar prepares for a packed schedule of alumni events and college football watch parties, offering guests a locally crafted option to celebrate the season.
T-Rex Lager begins with malt grown by partner farmers in the Texas Panhandle. The grain is then transported to TexMalt in Fort Worth, where it is transformed into Llano Pilsner Malt before being used to brew the finished beer in downtown Fort Worth. This farm-to-glass approach underscores a commitment to supporting Texas agriculture and local businesses, creating a supply chain that spans the state.
The result is a light, easy-drinking lager with plenty of flavor. Crisp and refreshing, T-Rex Lager pairs with just about anything on the Rex's menu and is especially welcome on a hot Texas day. Guests can enjoy a 22-ounce pour for $9, making it an accessible choice for both newcomers and regulars.
The timing of the release is strategic, as Rex's gears up for a month filled with alumni gatherings and football festivities. Upcoming events include a TCU Alumni Happy Hour on Thursday, Aug. 13, from 6–8 p.m., followed by the State of the Frogdom with Sonny Dykes on Friday, Aug. 14, from 4:45–7:30 p.m. Rex's Birthday & Red Raider Kickoff is set for Thursday, Aug. 20, from 5:30–8:30 p.m., and the Official TCU Watch Party for TCU vs. North Carolina will take place on Saturday, Aug. 29 at 11 a.m.
These events provide ample opportunity for guests to be among the first to try T-Rex Lager while supporting local Texas businesses. The beer not only enhances the game-day experience but also highlights the economic impact of local sourcing. By partnering with Texas Panhandle farmers and TexMalt, Rex's Fort Worth is investing in the state's agricultural and brewing industries, potentially inspiring other establishments to follow suit.

With its Texas-grown ingredients and local brewing, T-Rex Lager is more than just a beer; it's a celebration of the state's resources and craftsmanship. Whether stopping in for dinner, meeting up with fellow alumni, or settling in for kickoff, guests now have a new local beer to raise to Fort Worth and football season.
