n an old brick storefront, a couple
of 30-something entrepreneurs are
crafting enough beer to serve 180
restaurant and bar accounts throughout the Metroplex, much to the
delight of beer lovers.
Panther Island Brewing is right
over the bridge, just north of the
Tarrant County Courthouse on Fort
Worth’s burgeoning North Side. The
seven-member crew creates four
core beers: Real Good, Allergeez,
Cannonball and IPf’nA, along with
seasonal selections. In May, they
added a seasonal beer they term
a one-off (a beer that they brew
only once), an Imperial Cream Ale
that has the sweet taste of oranges.
Coming later this summer will be one
enhanced with the flavor of Parker
County peaches.
Head brewer and Brock native
Ryan McWhorter was a drummer in
his past life and became interested in
brewing his own beer when he was
given a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas.
After getting married he was looking for a career change, finding the
road a hard way to spend time with
family.
Always interested in creating,
he has found crafting one-of- a-kind
beers filled the void that music left
behind. The first beer he brewed was,
according to him, “terrible.” But he
tinkered and adjusted, coming up
with a flavor his family and friends
really enjoyed.
“I loved the science behind it
and I got more involved in the brewing community,” McWhorter said.
He volunteered his time at Peticolas
Brewing Company in Dallas to learn
about the commercial side of brewing.
Outgrowing his home as a brewing location, McWhorter moved
into a 1,000-square-foot warehouse
in Haltom City where he solidified
his beer offerings to the four they
currently produce.
As he increased production he
fashioned a homemade brewing
system made from several beer kegs.
He continues to use it when designing new recipes.
The group moved into its current
location in December of 2014, but
the vibe of the place harkens back
to McWhorter’s musical roots with
