How we score

The editorial take

Oak Highlands Brewery is a Richardson craft brewery and taproom with an extensive on-site-brewed lineup spanning IPAs, lagers, ales, stouts, and sours. The beer list runs from a West Coast IPA and a hazy IPA to a German Dunkelweizen, a Belgian Tripel, a Dortmunder lager, and a barrel-aged Marzen. A 4-beer flight lets you compare styles, and the rotating tap list keeps the selection changing. The taproom also handles private events with custom beer selection.

What should I order?: Start with the Flight - 4 Varieties to compare styles, then zero in on Derelict IPA for its five hop additions and strong citrus aroma, or Locktoberfest for the barrel-aged Marzen treatment.
Who will enjoy this place?: Anyone who wants to drink beer brewed on the premises and compare a wide style range in one sitting, from light lager to Belgian Tripel. It also suits groups planning a private event with custom beer selection and a private room.
When should I go?: A flight is the easy way to sample across the rotating tap list, so it works for a focused tasting visit. The private room and custom beer selection make it a fit for group gatherings.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The range is brewed on site and covers a lot of ground: West Coast IPA, German Dunkelweizen, Belgian Tripel, Dortmunder lager, Hazy IPA, American Light Lager, Marzen, Scottish Ale, Kolsch, Altbier, Saison, Pilsner, and Brown Ale. Locktoberfest is aged in Lockwood Bourbon Barrels with toasted wood spirals.
