3 Nations started in a small warehouse in a dry area of Farmers Branch in 2015, opening a taproom two years later. They quickly outgrew their space and moved to their current location in 2019, which was built in a shed next to a historic grain silo. The family- and pet-friendly brewery has two taprooms, a large indoor beer hall, a second-floor mezzanine, an outdoor biergarten and grill. Their beer is a fresh take on old-world styles, with 16 on tap and a new beer release every Friday. Staples include the Mango Smash IPA, Royal Blood Orange Ale and Haze Wizard NEIPA. Their Biergarten Grill serves burgers, street tacos and favorites cooked up by a long-time food vendor at the State Fair of Texas. Weekly events include bingo, cornhole league, trivia, live music and monthly holiday events, dog rescues, anniversary parties and more.
