Since its founding in 2012, Untapped Festival has been a surefire sign of the growth in North Texas' beer scene. The first ever event in Dallas sold out and has since expanded to four cities, including Austin, Houston and San Antonio, growing with every installment. In 2014, The Dallas Morning News purchased the festival and last fall Untapped saw it biggest turnout yet, welcoming 9,000 people.

"We’re very proud to be part of the Dallas-Fort Worth beer community and feel lucky to have played a role in the massive growth craft beer has experienced in the area," said Matthew Harber, of the local Spune Productions company and co-founder of the event.

Last year, the Fort Worth festival was cut short due to weather conditions, but that didn't keep the good times from rolling.
