The government shutdown has been affecting many people outside of those that just work for the government and in this one case, it’s Deep Ellum’s Brewing Company. You’re probably familiar with their signature beers, including the Dallas Blonde ale and the Deep Ellum IPA.
The local company will be opening a second location in Fort Worth on March 1st. Their new spot, Deep Ellum Funkytown Fermatorium will be at 611 University Drive. However, because they do not have anyone to approval their Brewer’s Notice, they have decided to open their doors with with free beer.
They took to Facebook to explain, “Regardless where you stand, or what you believe, there are a lot of innocent people & businesses being affected by all this nonsense. That’s why we’ve decided to open our doors regardless of the Tax & Trade Bureau’s approval.” adding, “While I’d love to just pull the blinds and do some good old fashioned bootlegging, we’ve decided to just give the beer away until the shutdown ends. That’s right, free at @deepellumftw starting on March 1. God Bless
The new spot has been named one of the “most exciting restaurants” to visit in 2019 by Guidelive.
