Rahr Earns Business Award, Fills It With Beer

Looks like Rahr managing partner Tony Formby found a good use for the Excellence In Business award

Cowtown-based Rahr & Sons Brewery earned the Clear Channel Outdoor Excellence in Business Award April 22 during the Entrepreneur Expo luncheon at the Fort Worth Convention Center.

The award is more than just a pat on the back: the brewery will receive creative consulting and five billboards with 24-weeks of coverage from the signage giant.

Rahr managing partner Tony Formby was on hand to accept the award.

"Being an entrepreneur is a wonderfully creative process," he said. "Challenges and problems that can be turned into opportunities present themself at every turn. Entrepreneurship is the engine that drives America."

Yeah, well--that sorta depends on what form of entrepreneurship we're talking about...

If you haven't tried any of Rahr's brews you are missing out. If you like dark beers their Blind Salamander is great, so is their Ugly Pug. I live in Fort Worth so there are a few restaurants that serve it but I know for a fact that The Porch on Knox/Henderson in Dallas serves Rahr.

Agreed, SuperFrog, Rahr is greatness. I'd highly recommend touring the brewery. Had a great time when I did:

There's not much that you can do on a Saturday afternoon for $5 that's more satisfying than a trip to the Rahr Brewery...

There are lots of places in Dallas that carry Rahr now too, you just have to seek them out. I think Ginger Man has had it for a while now.

We've got Ugly Pug at The Libertine! One of our hottest draught beers at the moment!

Come have one!

Cheers!

I've been to the brewery many times,it's a great way to sample the beer.The seasonal winter warmer is one of the best beers I've ever tasted.I am from Milwaukee where Rahr originally started,so I know a good beer.When it's a question of what beer,It's Rahr by Fahr.[You can use it]
