Healthy Brew Brewery in Fort Worth

Ken March has been involved in the beer industry for some time: his first brew was a hard apple cider fermented in his closet in 1991. Ken started large-batch homebrewing in the spring of 2000. Some time later, Ken and a close friend were sitting at the Flying Saucer in Ft Worth, Texas, when the topic of breweries came up. One thing led to another and an idea hit: Why not create a natural beer? And so was born Healthy Brew Brewery!

After some research, a line of beers was born. The beers are organic, made without any additional chemicals or additives are made in small batches for the utmost quality.
