True Vine Brewing Company

Life continued to progress and moved the Dixon family to Tyler. Ryan & Traci both loved cooking and creating in the kitchen, which is what sparked Ryan’s initial interest in creating beer. After some research, homebrewing started. In the kitchen at first and then on to the garage. Then a book was read that completely changed the game. 

Meet True Vine Brewing Company.

After a recommendation from friend who learned of Ryan’s new found love of beer making, he read The Search for God and Guinness. A dream was planted in the hearts of Ryan & Traci after reading about the Guinness family and the impact they made in Dublin, Ireland. The question of could something like this be done right here in Tyler, Texas? Could creating a product also create community in a real and authentic way? Yes. The Guinness family proved that. 

What started very grassroots in the Dixon’s garage, started to grow into big dreams. A brewery was to become a reality and there was much work to be done. All of the Dixon’s life experiences and passion to this point became clear and would play out in every aspect of this brewery from creating beer, to running a business, to community and loving people to even designing brewery t-shirts!
