It feels a lot longer than three years. Martin House Brewing has become a staple in grocery and specialty store and thousands of fridges in the region in that short time. What would life be like without The Imperial Texan, Salty Lady, or Bockslider? I shudder at the idea, but thanks to Martin House’s founders, staff, and volunteers, we don’t have to imagine a world without their suds. Happy three year anniversary Martin House. The Fort Worth Weekly reached out to some of your biggest fans for this online birthday card.
“Happy 3rd to Martin House! Keep doing Fort Worth proud!”
Vaden Lewis, singer/guitarist for Toadies
“From humble beginnings in the backyard of Cody Martin’s house on the Westside to the brewery on the river with one of the best views of downtown that Fort Worth has to offer, Martin House has quickly become a staple of not only the the North Texas beer scene, but also well known statewide. Their style-busting beers continued to impress me with each release, and their crew rolls deep, further embedding them into the beer community. Not just great brewers of beer, but good friends too. Cheers to three years of MHBC, and here’s to many more!”
Tony Drewry, Beerpedaler and telephone operator at The Collective Brewing Project
“Congrats on your success thus far Martin House crew and keep waving that Fort Worth flag. Happy Birthday. Party it up.”
Michael Newquist, associate publisher for the Fort Worth Weekly
“Congratulations –– and thank you for never compromising the quality of your brew. You’ve made your home city very proud.”
Eric Griffey, associate editor for the Fort Worth Weekly
“Congratulations on your continued success Martin House! You are a perfect representation of local business success, and you absolutely Keep Fort Worth Funky! Happy 3rd birthday and a hibiscus saison cheers to many, many years ahead!”
James Zametz, founder of Keep Fort Worth Funky
“Happy 3rd Birthday Martin House! We started around the same time and it has been a pleasure to grow with you and watch you take over. Cheers to many more bro-ed out, shotty b, gangsta parties in the future.”
Shannon OsBakken, co-founder of The Bearded Lady
“I first tried Martin House beer when it was just a few taps in the garage near Miami, and I’m thrilled to know that more and more people can now enjoy it! Congratulations on this milestone, and I’ll raise a glass to many more!”
Jason Calloway, cellist for Amernet String Quartet
“I soak each of my paintings in Martin House beer ’cause that’s the only way they’re any good.”
Jay Wilkinson, ArtSouth artist in residence
“Congrats on three years of business! Many fond memories have been made at Martin House and many more are sure to come. Cheers!”
Sarah Covington, public relations director for Fort Worth Convention & Visitors Bureau
“It seems like a decade ago that Cody, David, and Adam were building out that weird little building space just east of downtown. Now, they’re so ingrained that it’s impossible to discuss Fort Worth beer without mentioning them. I couldn’t be prouder of the brewers and businessmen they’ve grown to be, and I’m constantly excited to see what they come up with next. Cheers, fellas.”
Scooter Hendon, writer and beer reporter for the Fort Worth Star Telegram
“Congrats to the great group of owners, brewers, staff, and volunteers of Martin House Brewing on 3 years. Thanks for the great beer! #untothecody”
Joshua Wright, founder of Fort Worth Brew Scene
“Martin House continues to push the envelope with beers like Counter Clockwise Swirl, Pretzel Stout, The Salty Lady, and the hop showcasing Cellarman’s IPA series with an obvious eye for quality and adventure. I look forward to seeing what Cody & crew come up with in the future as Martin House’s place in the growing Fort Worth beer community further solidifies.”
Matt Dixon, executive director for North Texas Beer Week
